Changed mind. Decided to keep lens. Sorry. Could the mods please remove this post? Thanks.

Thanks!

Hi. I've been using a K100D for last 2 years. Great camera with no problems all this time, so never looked for the local service center. But I read somewhere it's good to bring them in for servicing every so often. Anyway, thinking of selling it off and getting a K-x so thought I'd get it in...

I'm using a Sigma 70-300 APO DG Macro. No problems overcoming the mechanical block without stripping the lens. Just zoom to 200-300 range, put on macro mode and twist it gently but firmly back beyond the 200mm block and it will go. Initially will be tight, but after zooming it back and forth a...

Tempted to get this Tamron 90mm lens after all the good reviews here. Anyone know where to get it in Pentax mount locally? It's available according to the Tamron website but just can't find a shop that stocks it here.

Still doesn't really explain why they jammed it instead of marketing it as a more versatile lens than the competition. At that price, 1:2 is pretty good value for money really. :dunno:

Hi, Interested in these products: 1. MCLS-1 ring light - what is the effective distance for even lighting? can it be used on a 72mm thread lens? 2. HD7000PRO 0.7x wide angle converter - is the barrel distortion as good as the 6600? how much is it and when is it available? Thanks.

Yes, but due to the precise focus distance required, it's not useful to autofocus. It will hunt a lot until you get into the correct range. Best to use manual focus set to the closest distance and move back and forth until it's in focus. This method is not an ideal replacement for a dedicated...

I'm using Sigma 70-300mm with Nikon 6T close up adapter. Total cost less than $400. Much more than 1:1 ratio at 300mm, and very sharp at f16 and above! Just have to put up with the precise focusing distance (about 25cm) with the adapter in place.

Who knows what goes through the minds of the marketing people. Just like some gadgets have 2 models containing the same hardware, just that some have the functions firmware locked and sold as a cheaper version but can be hacked to get the full function. Just be happy for the bargain. They could...

Wow! Thanks! It really does work. And you don't really have to dissect the lens and cut something off either. It's quite easy to slowly overcome the mechanical block by twisting the lens barrel. It gets easier after the first time too. I thought the 70-300 was a bargain to begin with, now it's...
