It would be really nice if lightroom gave more control over blending two photos in that manner. 5) If I'm going to be photographing landscapes,in the forest, late in the afternoon, while stitching panoramas taken with a K-3 and the 16-50 will "work" I really "need" a K-1 and 15-30. 6) I need better (and better fitting) sandals if I'm going to be on uncertain terrain immediately after walking through a creek. Uncertain footing either between the ground and the sandal, or the sandal and my foot is a kind of fun that I can usually do without.

Re: Long macro lenses for K mount?
Vivitar made the Series 1 Flat Field 90-180mm 4.5 flat field zoom. I have one but have never tried it on a digital body, it has that stupid over sized stop down lever protector flange that the original Series 1 lenses were affected with. It only focused to 1:2, (I do have other ways to get larger reproduction ratios), at 180mm but it's very sharp on film. Someday I'll have to Dremal the offending excess metal off to try it on a digital camera. I've only been saying that for about 10 years now. It's a lovely hunk of glass and metal, a fine lens and it would probably be quite handy for self defense. It's a K mount s On 4/29/2016 4:52 PM, Larry Colen wrote: It seems that the longest macro currently produced for K-mount might be about 100mm. I've heard mention of a 200mm, and I have an old manual focus 135 1:2 macro. Two part question: What are the options for long focal length macros? How are they optically? Are there any teleconverters that do well? Or, am I just better off cropping tighter? In a similar vein, are there technical reasons for the dearth of long macro lenses? Or is it just that the market for them is too small for them to be commercially viable? -- I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. -- Woody Allen -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
