Come, come, Randius.. join us!

You can always get a 2nd Camera Body (Pentax ;-p), with all the primes you want!

The DA LE - 15 (not available yet), 21, 35 Macro, 40, 70
The FA LE - 31 (some considered the best lens money can ever buy), 43, 77

Why wait?

No way, bro. Definitely not a 2nd system. Maybe I will consider Pentax if I am to start all over again but considering my current equipment, hmm... perhaps I am not too late to do that? :confused:

K20D with a 21 DA sounds good for everyday use ;)

You've received your DA 35mm? Man... it's going to be a few days more before I get mine.. Can't wait!!!
 

Just asked the prices of the DA LE lenses and still acceptable. Sell off 28-70 + top up can get 21 + 40 + 70 liao :think: Now this is getting even more tempting.... :sweat:
 

I am wondering if there is any chance of trying out the K20D with DA LE lenses? Most of the reputed shops seem to be out of stock.

You can try mine if you like. Still got several DA LE lenses in hand: DA21, DA35macro, and a DA40 (probably would let this one go, again). Both are good lenses. Let me know if you'd like to come to me for a test run. Sorry, I can't be too far away from my family (after work) or my working place (NUS). Better come to NUS for a short chat, like many here already did before :D

Cheers!

Will definitely love to have a try and thanks for the kind offer :D

I think I have mistaken MSC's quote on the price for the DA 70 LE. They meant "don't have this lens (no stock)" and I took it to be "don't have this focal length for DA"... I apologize for any confusion caused.

BTW, how much is the DA 35 macro LE and will the DA 15 be a pancake lens as well?

If you are ready for meetup, pm or sms/call me. My number can be easily found under b&s forum ;)

The DA35 isn't available yet here locally, but it's been selling for around 400 to 550USD in America. I think it's a good buy if you can get it for less than 500uSD :)

The DA15 will be a limited that's for sure. But we don't know if it'd be a pancake. I myself certainly hope it'd be one ;p Pentax, please make it a DA15/3.5 w/ a size of M 20/4 :cool:
 

Here comes the DA35 Macro Limited.:cool:

Yes... I was blown away by the quality of the lens, you can see various images taken with it at this link, for those who hasn't been there already:

http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/24889-ultimate-lba.html

as usual, fengwei's shots are superb - do go see!

And this arose from another thread on DA lenses that are FF compatible - anyone with a film body that interested to try the DA lenses to see how the quality is like (i.e. vignetting, corner sharpness)? Short of asking someone to loan me a DA prime for a wknd :bsmilie:
 

That just means I am the 3rd one to own this 35mm Macro. Creampuff, I got impatient, and decided against waiting.

Lovely lens, and really focuses very very very NEAR... will try to post pictures of it with the K200D!!!

Let's go SBG this weekend? 10am?
 

Okay, where are you guys getting this lens from, and how much in SG$ (after conversion + shipping) is the final cost?

I would also really like to get this lens!


Knyghtfall, are you in the Jurong West area? We could meet up this weekend, and you can try the DA 40 if you like.

yo Skypacker

Thanks for the offer, let me know when u'd be free? Yes I stay very near Jurong West, can meet to try it out, if you're okay with it. Cheers!
 

Juz came back from my trip to Japan. I found the 21/43(40)/70 setup adequate for most shots travellers will take. The 10-17mm and the 1.7 Tcon rounds out the kit juz nicely. Juz need a 200/4 pancake and probably the 15/4 as a pancake to make it perfect.
 

Just love the DA LE and its newest addition - 35mm Macro f2.8 is currently permanently etched onto my k200D.

This is why it's so ... Another LBA thread on 35mm Macro

I have not had a chance with flowers, and will try to do so this weekend, and perhaps share the results soon...
 

Keep it small and light. One reason I like the Limited lenses and still keeping my DS.;)
