Re: Pentax AF Lens + SF7 = DSLR

Hi Peter As others have said, those lenses will be fine on any Pentax DSLR with the proviso that the field of view will be different. The 35-70 will be equivalent to about 52-105 due to the sensor being smaller than 24mm x 36mm size of 35mm film. If you need wide angle, you will need a new lens.

Well done on what looks like a tough shot. I like the placement of the bird in the frame, and the reflection. Dave On Sat, May 23, 2009 at 3:11 PM, Tim Øsleby wrote: > http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=302599 > I had a test drive with AF-C. It was easier than expected. >

Hi Stan No sorry, I have the Teleplus version, really need the 1.4x to work with the DA*300/4. I have a Kenko 1.5x but it seems to hunt too much without tripod support. Regards, John From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Stan
