RE: Travel Kit Digital

I cannot confirm that in Europe wider lenses are required. But I agree that the combo DA 16-45/4 and DA 50-200/3.5-5.6 is a very suitable and reasonably light travelling kit.

The viewfinders in most Pentax are not dust sealed. Most likely it's between the focusing screen and the pentaprism. A good repair man can usually clean it up. You could do it yourself but a slip of a screwdriver could mar the surface of your focusing screen which is infinitely more annoying...

Re: Viewfinder

But even a brand new, speckless camera is going to get dust in it eventuallyeven if the camera had been perfect you would have run into this problem eventually. My lens was speck and dust free when it was given to me, and the aluminum was probably shaved off when I was using it. So the only w

Re: Viewfinder

Thank you, r. I know for certain that the dust (or dirt or specks) is not in my lens, as I put the lens on another camera, and I do not see these specks in the viewfinder of this camera. I see the specks only through the viewfinder of this one particular body. I realize that these small sp

FS: FA 80-200 mm. 2.8 and FA 24 mm. 2.0

I have the following lenses for sale: FA 24 mm. 2.0, LN- (almost like new), boxed, with original Pentax pouch, front and back caps and original lenshood. Only the lens hood shows slight signs of use. Price: 500 euros, plus shipping expenses. FA 80-200 mm. 2.8 LN- (almost like new), boxed, with it

Re: Viewfinder

I remember saving money on e-Bay. I bought my first FA 70-210 for 60.00 plus shipping. Pentax lenses are now selling at a premium. On e-Bay at least there's a chance of getting some of the more sought after lenses. The old standbys like KEH rarely if ever have anything more than the most pedest

Re: Viewfinder (PJ...)

If you have screw mount lenses the F is like owning a K1000/KM. It handles and meters almost exactly the same, with just minor differences in controls. My MXs are a bit small, but the SP F is just about perfect, I don't shoot it as much as my M42 lens collection is limited in scope, (heck, si
