Charles, Pentax 50mm f1.7 lenses have been sharp since the screwmount Takumar days. The phrase could be 'Tak Sharp.' I've never seen a bad sample, so you had other problems. Glad you got them sorted! (For those of you reading along at home, buy this lens used - its common and cheap.) Regards, Bob

Re: Lr 4.4 and K-3 DNG support: is there any?

Lightroom 5.2 handles K-3 filees without any glitches, but it does seem to take just a little longer importing the DNG's than those of the K-5. And I really like LR5.2. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Nov 18, 2013 at 8:50 PM, Bill wrote: > On 18/11/2013 8:35 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: > >> >> So, are you s

Boris, You're seeing the front of the bike, just below the handlebars where the front fork comes up thru the frame. The front of the frame has a Firestone logo/nameplate. Slightly behind that is a fake of a motorcycle gas tank with an electric horn button. (All 12 year olds want a motorcycle ins

Yes, really quiet, probably more so than the K-5 or K-5IIs. The AF beep is different as well... almost like a Blue Jay (for Brooksie). On Mon, Nov 4, 2013 at 4:50 PM, Bill wrote: > On 04/11/2013 4:50 AM, Dario Bonazza wrote: >> >> Hi all, this is a question to anybody owning a K-5 (or K-5II/K-5I

Re: full frame??

I love my K-5IIs, but my new K-3 arrives here Monday. And when/if a FF Pentax is announced, I'll get one - price permitting. My good K-5 experiences helped sell me on the K-3. I hope the K-3 will sell me on the next Pentax. Regards, Bob S. On Sun, Nov 3, 2013 at 8:30 AM, David J Brooks wrote: >

Re: Filters?

Bill's right. For protection, buy a lens hood. It also improves contrast and reduces flare in your lens. Regards, Bob S. On Sat, Nov 2, 2013 at 9:22 AM, Bill wrote: > On 02/11/2013 5:00 AM, Eric Weir wrote: >> >> >> Midway in my walk back in September I replaced the lens cap on the A >> 28/2.8 wi

Tom, In the film days, each shot was $.25 and only pros took lots of shots. Now the cost per shot is almost zero, and the tyros 'spray and pray'.
