    Anybody purchased from pentax2u.com before?

    They will have sales from time to time, especially during festive seasons. End of year is a good bet, if you can wait. That's also when models get phased out, so you might be able to get sunset price. If not wrong, I remember the last unit sales Q (with 01) went for RM850. Considering the...

    I got my Kr and Q from them. Just drop them an email. They'll get back to you really quickly. Pentax Malaysia service center is ni KL. I'm in Jb, so when my Kr called for inspection under warranty, I sent by courrier. Never had any problems :) They can offer competitive price because they...

    cleaning and repairing of pentax film camera

    There's one geat deal but it's in KL. Minty body, winder, a 50mm lens and lots of extras for RM700 (Should be less than $300). Here's the link. I think it's pretty worth the trip there! [WTS] PENTAX MX with Winder MX and 50mm F1.7 I would be tempted too but I have too many cameras already.

    70-200mm lens

    The DA55-300 is a mighty fine glass. I second that the AF speed is atrocious, due to the extremely long focus throw and sometimes it tends to get lost. I wonder why they had to make it so long. The good thing is that it has quick shift. I would normally 'assist' the AF by manual focusing...

    Which lens combo to take?...

    If it's for a trip with the fiancee, I think the 12-24 is the only lens you'll need because you'll be shooting a lot of "Snap me with this thing" photos, and more often than not, the landmark is really large. In my vacations, I found that I'm facing mostly very large open space or very tight...

    Pentaxians June-2012 Outing - Please Post Your Photos Here

    These are the film shots. I did a quick and dirty scan, literally. The 'rainbow' line you see in the center is due to film curl during scanning. The film failed me too. I've shot a few roll of this same batch film, all were ok, only this one is terrible. It seems the photosensitive emulsion...

    To make things worse, I was the official photographer for an event the following day. All those wonderful photos bo liao already. Here's the one and only photo that I could rescue.

    Pentaxians June-2012 Outing - Please Post Your Photos Here

    Things didn't go well for me. First my F28-80 failed on location, and when I got to my PC, only I found out my SD card got corrupted. :o In case you're wondering, I'm the guy who was spinning my lens like crazy. I'm recovering my SD card at the moment. If I fail to recover anything, then I can...

    Using Nikon F manual lens on Pentax K-R

    That's an interesting note from Fatigue. I hope there's enough allowance because the adapter is thick, about 2cm. By the way. This Nikkor lens is a macro one. So, with a macro extension, it becomes SUPER macro, almost like a microscope. I use it primarily to scan film :D
