Re: 18-55 vs 16-45?

The kit lens is relatively worthless, due to the number available. Put it on the shelf for the day you sell the camera. If you already own a wide lens, like the DA 14/2.8 or the A 15/3.5, you're probably okay for the most part. if you don't, you may want to add the DA 12-24/4. If that's too

Re: K10D shake reduction and low light

Don't forget that shake reduction does not make your viewfinder any brighter for low light work and does not help you freeze your subject. So you have to work within those parameters. Even if you could handhold down to 1/10 sec or so, your subject could move causing blur. It is another tool for u

Re: 18-55 vs 16-45?

The FA 20-35 is a fine lens. I owned one at one time, but it became redundant so I sold it. Of course it's no substitute for its wider brethren. In 35 mm FOV it's 30mm at the wide end, while the DA 16-45 is 24mm -- a huge difference. But for wide zooms, the DA 12-24/ 4 is the clear winner.

Re: 18-55 vs 16-45?

Hmmm...we've heard a similar question several times. I have both of them now since I got the 18-55 with my K10D. Things to think about: 16-45 is more like a 24-70 for film 18-55 is more like a 28-80 for film So there is a noticeable difference between the 16 and 18mm on the wide end. Also the 1

Re: upcoming longer DA lenses..

For weddings, I would like a short tele zoom that is reasonable to handhold for periods of time - maybe even hanging around my neck while I shoot with another body. I had an 80-200/2.8 and found it too big and heavy. The A 70-210/4 is passable (certainly wouldn't want it any larger) and I need it

Pentax claim their shake reduction is worth "2.5 to 4 stops". Some Canon ads describe some of their lenses as having "3-stop" or "4-stop" IS. Are these claims anywhere near believable? What are actual users of K100D or K10D finding? If those claims are real, then an F 2.8 lens with three-stops o

You won't get much for the 18-55 on eBay. $80, I'd guess, but i haven't checked the completed auctions. Personally, I'd keep it. If you ever sell the K10D, having the kit lens makes it easier and boosts the value. Also, having an all-purpose zoom is nice on occaision. If you dont' use zooms in

Re: quick report: A 70-210 F4 on *ist-Ds

The DA 50-200 is a big step up from the kit lens in quality. Yes, it's slow and it's not constant ap but it's a good optic. Paul On Jan 14, 2007, at 12:16 PM, Mark Erickson wrote: > The 50-200 is an example of the F5.6 consumer zooms that I > referenced in my > original post. I think that man

Re: Gotta Go ....

The doctor called me yesterday and wants me to go into the hospital for some tests. I'll be leaving in a couple of hours and will be away for a short while. I usually don't put my business on the internet, but I'm a little concerned, and for some odd reason doing so now helps me to feel a little

Hi Tim thanks for having a look at the card, you seem to be a big part of the minority which cared about it ;-) I agree with your comments, I was too lazy to do the (painful) stitching again and it was *good enough* for a one time effect. greetings Markus -Original Message- From: [EMAI

Optical Lens (Re: PESO: Hogafication)

Thank God you were able, after all these years, to finally put an "Optical Lens" on a Pentax body! I shudder to think about what we've missed without them :-) --Mark -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

Re: SDHC... a bit early IMO

What bothers me is the price of those Ultra2 SDHC cards. If they were ExtremeIV or at least Extreme III but no simple 60x Ultra2. :| 2007/1/14, Godfrey DiGiorgi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > On Jan 14, 2007, at 8:23 AM, Thibouille wrote: > > > I looked a bit for SDHC est my conclusions are: > > > >

Re: quick report: A 70-210 F4 on *ist-Ds

The 50-200 is an example of the F5.6 consumer zooms that I referenced in my original post. I think that many of us here wish that Pentax had put out a 50-200 F4 to match that 16-45 F4 rather than the 50-200 F5.6 that matches the 18-55 kit lens. > Paul, > > Paul Stenquist wrote: >> Pentax now offe

RE: PESO: Hogafication

I like those a lot - they're very interesting indeed. I also particularly like a couple of the shots taken from the road, with motion blur - Ghost in the Bush, and Along the Way. They remind rather of some of the photos in Winterreise, by Luc Delahaye - one of my favourite photo books. I like tha
