Re: SMCP FA 20-35mm f/4 AL or the FA* 24mm f/2 AL WAS -- Re: Wideangle Dilemmas

Vic, I think everyone is pretty sensible on this. They both appear to all of us from all our various sources and experiences and whatever, to be really very much the same. If you're a fixed guy, you know the one you want, or if you want low light, the same. If you want wider and have some room t

OT Channel 4 "Faking it"

I wonder if any UK Pentaxidermists managed to watch this CH4 thing last night? The sight of a (pushing 50) "cutting edge fashion photographer" dandied up to the nines and professing disgust at field sports. HAR! Pseuds corner, anyone? Entirely watchable apart from the old buffoon. Not a Pentax i

Re: SMCP FA 20-35mm f/4 AL or the FA* 24mm f/2 AL WAS -- Re: Wideangle Dilemmas

Brad, One big factor you are forgetting is speed of lens and for the zooms, constant aperture. Your new lens is constant aperture whereas the 24-90 is not. Also the FA *24 is a stop and a half faster than your new lens. Also, generally speaking, when you start going wide, zooms have more barrel

Re: Re[2]: Disaster strikes!

Bob, I just check with my Insurance Agent and it works the same with my insurance policy. How are equipment values assessed for older equipment? Would they replace a K 85mm f/1.8 with a FA 77mm f/1.8 Limited; an LX with a MZ-S? I am just wondering how it worked for you... Regards, Jose R. R

wideangle dillema-Tokina 20-35

Shaun I was not referring to the 19-35. Tokina made a 20 -35 which is much better than the 19-35 in my understanding.. It is the one with the Yellow stripe on the lens. There are a few listed on E-bay I believe. These have gotten very good reviews. They came out before the 20-35 At-X /2.8. I had

Really sorry to hear it, Pal. Don't blame yourself too much. If you can buy your way out of a problem, it's not a problem, it's an expense ;=) I guess all of us will be watching cameras on tripods very closely any time it's windy. Best Regards, Alex -Original Message- From: Pål Jensen [
