Bring the DA 17-70 if you got one.  It too uses the 67mm filter just like the DA* 50-135 2.8.  I have the DA* 50-135 2.8 and I wouldn't hesitate buying one for that reason.  But to answer your...

Nice pic, but if you got WR lenses--you got to get them wet to appeciate what they can really do on a WR K camera like a K-5.  Harsh conditions is what the WR is for!40-60mph gusts? Nooooo...

It's a piece of glass I'd love to have, after I acquire the FA 31 1.8 Limited.  I have the DA* 50-135 and it's my favorite walk around lens by far.  The 60-250 weighs about a 1lb more than it which...

You second bird shot is awesome!



Peripheral vision doesn't count.  Rods & Cones man, anatomy 101

It's a subjective question, there's no correct answer.  I'm looking for people answers to the question, not thoughts about how they can't answer the question.

I'm not sure if you know this but each of our eyes have about a 50mm view in FF or 35 mm in APS-C.  I'd agree with you on the, "If I could have one focal legnth."

I think that you're the only one who really hit the nail on the head with the part about you can only back up so far versus take a few steps forward. I run into this scenario much more often than...

I shoot mostly landscape so it's wide angle for me, but with Dady's favorite subject there's no denying the importance of the telephoto lens. (3) Shot Pano with a 1/2-overlap using the Pentax...

90% of getting the rich color and not blowing your highlights is using a circular polarizer and knowing how to use it correctly to get the maximum "Oh & Ah."  Read up on "Bewsters Angle"  Also,...

Pentax K-5 + SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL [IF] lens + 77mm Cir Polarizing filter + Pentax O-GPS1 GPS Module I do a lot of architectural geotagging along-side my landscape geotagging photography. ...

My main camera is my K-5 and my K-7 is my backup camera. My alternate camera is most definately my iPhone 4s. What I love about it is that it's always on me when I'm within cell range so the...

Not sure if it's been done, but it could be a really hot item.  A tilt-feature converter for something like the DA 12-24 or perhaps just something like a super-wide angle tilt lens like a 8mm prime...

You shouldn’t even consider the K-30, seeing as you can still find a brand-new K-5 bodies on the internet for just a little more. You’ll get so much more camera for your buck. The K-5 is such a...

After using the Pentax Digital Camera Utility 4 to produce my JPEGs from RAW files, the Manufactures Notes are intact in the EXIF portion of the file. After performing some basic manipulations on...

Damn, I thought I would get some replies to this one.  I guess people don't have the proof of what I value in Pentax or they're all limited prime shooters.
