Well, we used to use ethol alchohol, but that is getting hard to get,
so just use some good vodka instead! But sparingly, we don't want to
be wastful :-)
Seriously, Kofak probably still makes negative cleaner, as well

As I said. only pentax knows what is really going on. every one else including
me is only guessing even Boz.
When I alerted Boz to the very limited MZ60, even he asked what do the other
contacts do.
so far, noone can answer.

Just a follow up on my earlier serious answer. The 1.7x AF Adapter
lacks the digital data pin, (seen here
at Boz's K
mount technical page), on it's female mount. Without that pin there can
be no communication between the lens and camera, so the camera has
Hello all,
Can I use the Sigma APO 1.4x with this lens? What about the 1.7x? Any
good 2x?
Thanks for your help. I may have a line on a 300mm but would like a TC
to go with it - especially the 1.7x if it works well.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been off the list for a couple of years. I am hoping to jump into
the DSLR world soon. Using a Pentax DSLR seems to be the way to go based on
the lenses and flashes I own. But now I hear Pentax is in rough shape
financially and I wonder if I should not invest in Pentax if they will

Well Cotty ridiculed me when I opined that the MX is the quietest

Admittedly, my experience is limited.
So, now I'm curious. In your opinion and experience, what's the

Not bad at all; I paid $500 for mine new last year. Some guys have all

I've been trying to find one of these for sale for several months now

have one you're willing to part with? If so, please email me. Thanks!

A K30 f2.8 is listed at KEH at the bargain price of $349, so $250 for
Dojarek's lens on eBay doesn't look like such a bad deal...

Collin, here is a test shot I made with a Tamron SP 500mm mirror lens
on my D. The sign is about 100 yards away. Note the peculiar bokeh.

Here is a crop of the center of the image. Sharpness is not too bad,
but contrast is low.
Your best bet is probably the DA 18-55, as it is really inexpensive and
gives a 35mm equivalent FL of 27mm.
I have used the inexpensive Sigma 24-70 f3.5-5.6 HF zoom (ca. $130) for
this situation and it works just fine. Its quality is a lot higher
than the price would lead you to expect, its
