I mentioned the black Friday deals at KEH and B I was able to resist the K-3 III temptation, but succumbed to the DFA* 70-200/2.8 for $900 (with hood and caps). It arrived today. It is noticably larger than the 80-200 that John has so graciously loaned me for the past few years. It is also

smc FA 35-80mm f3.5-5.6 for the sake of my LBA...

I'd been buying several older FA lenses and Samsung's D-series lenses recently. Found good deal for FA 35-80mm f/3.5-5.6 tele-zoom. What can you say about it? I can't find many larger sample images to see what it's about in pictures... Your comments highly appreciated,

Re: smc FA 35-80mm f3.5-5.6 for the sake of my LBA...

I had one for a while. Build quality was questionable. It felt pretty plastic, if you know what I mean. The images were OK for me though the lens didn't get good reviews from whatever pixel peepers used to be in the film days. The zoom range wasn't enough on either end and it's too slow.

Had an almost new one, at the same time I had a F 35-70 3.5~4.5 and a FA 28-70 4.0. I still have the 35-70. (I'd like to find it a new home, I don't use it enough, but they're so inexpensive it's hardly worth it). I found a replacement 28-70 when the rear aspheric element separated. I got

Re: LBA ?.. Kenko and soligor P/AF extention tube sets

I saw a set of these in one of the few local camera shops that still carried a more or less traditional group of products. They wanted $170.00 for them new in a box. I passed at the time but I wondered how well they worked. James wrote: Just picked up one set each of these. Almost

Re: LBA ?.. Kenko and soligor P/AF extention tube sets

Christian, One more 'Pentax Quirk' to add to the list. I'm not bothered about the AF, although somebody using them to shorten the min focus distance of a long lens might be. However, I'm surprised we haven't seen some enterprising Chinese store on Ebay selling new P/KA tubes. They could make a

LBA ?.. Kenko and soligor P/AF extention tube sets

Just picked up one set each of these. Almost impossiable to find a set that passes all 7 lens information contacts through. At long last, I can use my A 50mm 1.7 with tubes and PTTL flash instead of manual flash and a lot of guess work for my macro setup. James -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail
