John, Taking a guess here, it sounds like you may have a Tamron Adaptall lens with the m42 adaptall mount attached. (You could get a KM adaptall mount to replace the m42 adaptall mount and save yourself the need of an m42 to K adapter. If it is an Adaptall lens, it is probably either a 22A or a 40

Maybe the difference between 1:7 and 1:4 is not that much? It should probably give you the closest focus at the wide end in macro mode if it allows that. Some lenses will only lock into macro at a particular focal length. On Tue, Nov 12, 2013 at 4:29 PM, John wrote: > I have been considering the

And those Sigma HSM are incompatible with pre-K100DSuper/K10D AF-wise. Oh, also to note that since a couple of those Sigma are 35mm lenses, they will cover 'FF' format but... will not be able to AF with ANY camera but K100Ds/K10D/K20D/K200D anfd later. You probably know this but I wanna be sure e

Pentax have suggested that some future DA* lenses might not be dual-drive. That leaves the door open for them to switch to ring motors for at least some lenses. My bet is that it won't happen for a couple of years, though. And when it does happen, people will be able to whine about missing AF ca
