DA Limited's in Silver

**DRabbit** · 06-01-2011, 08:20 AM

It arrived last night... hope to give it a try today...
My lens collection is complete now... 21, 43 and 70 in silver. 35 Macro and 55 is black.

Got mine tonight to complete my prime setup (at least for now) with the 21, 43 and 77 in silver. Now I just need to pick up a zoom to capture the kids sporting activities.

Hmm, does the zoom have to be silver? That might limit your options, but it would still be great glass!

LOL. I think my options for a silver zoom are limited, but black looks good as well and functions just the same.

I have a fairly simple (lens porn) request that hopefully someone out there can help me out with. I have seen plenty of shots of silver lenses (DA & FA) on silver bodies, however I have never seen an image of a silver lens on a black body but would love to see how it looks. I have had a pretty extensive search of this site, google images and other pentax sites without success. Could someone post some images of silver limited lenses on an all black body please?

this one was taken before I sold of my Ltds. It doesn't show much of the body but gives you an idea:

I guess they finally got around to making that Silver DA 40mm for sale.

Here you go, my very recent film addition:

Hey Frank, I bet the AF is so fast on that setup you can't even see it move!

**GingerBeer** · 06-14-2011, 06:40 PM

Great, thanks all. Found a few more on Flickr too - I don't know why I didn't think of doing a search on there earlier.

Yeah, 'AF' is instant, but not accurate most time. Lucky it got 'quickshift' so I can fine tune the focusing manually whenever I want

Recently got my silver DA 21 & 70 :-)

May I introduce

Pentax DA 21mm silver as 'Mama'
Pentax DA 70mm silver as 'Papa'
and
Pentax DA 40mm as the black sheep of the family :-)
