Re: Enablement: Two fine pieces of Pentax glass in 2 weeks

I have the 1.4x-L and it works great - I mostly use it with the A* 200 f4 macro, though I originally bought the TC for use with my A* 400 f2.8. I did not like the 2x-L so much and sold it - it was sharp but bokeh on the 400mm was weird. The Pz-1p sounds like a nice find - I used mine for a cou

Re: Enablement!

That is a good price - about R6000. Over here they are still asking that for even a K10, K5's a bit more. Haven't seen any S/H K5II's yet. Alan C -Original Message- From: John Coyle Sent: Saturday, September 24, 2016 4:16 AM To: 'Pentax-Discuss Mail List'

Re: Enablement!

Man, what's it like you've living in the jungle, did you notice any Japanese holdouts while you were there? Really the changes from the *ist-D series of cameras to the K20D was immense. The change, except in resolution, from that to the K-5II was almost as big. For you it will be like moving

Re: enablement: Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 1:3.5/35

You and I seem to be accumulating much the same sort of lenses. I don't have the Super-Multi-Coated version of the 35 but I have several others in that series. I do have the earlier 1:3.5/35 Super Tak. It doesn't have the issue you describe - I wonder if that was a problem more or less confined t

So when are you getting the Gold plated LX and Vivitar Zoom lenses to complete the ensemble. On 11/23/2015 3:12 AM, Larry Colen wrote: I suppose that if I were to list all of the photographic equipment that I need, a tiltall tripod, by all rational measure would be fairly low down on the list.

Re: Enablement

I suppose we'll see you glistering in the sunset and moonlight as you make your long exposures now. :-) Pretty cool find for $20! I had a Tiltall for many years, bought somewhere around 1980 and sold to buy a set of Bogen legs in the middle 1990s; I believe the guy I sold it to is still using i
