Pentax K-x lens porn request

Edgar_in_Indy · 03-17-2011, 07:07 AM - **1 Like**

I'm close to buying the 15mm ltd for my K-x, so help push me over the edge by posting images of your camera with the 15mm mounted.

I mostly use the Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 and Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8, so I'm looking for a wide angle to complement those great lenses. I thought I was going to buy the Sigma 10-20mm, but I'm now leaning toward the 15mm since I could easily fit it into my small camera bag with one of the other two aforementioned lenses.

I have a white K-x, so ideally pictures will feature the 15mm mated to a white K-x, but really any images of the k-m/k-r/k-x in any color will do.

And if you have pictures of other sweet lenses on those bodies (especially other ltd lenses or the Sigma 10-20mm), feel free to post those too. Just try to keep the pics tasteful, and don't tell my wife!

If I remember this evening I'll oblige your request, hope your eyes can handle one mated with an Olive K-x, haha.

just think about these reasons and you should be pretty much settled.

I'll contribute

It is one of my favorite lenses ever. =]

Here's one with the DA 50-135mm mounted on.

Took the day off today (wanted to be home for my new 100mm WR macro to sign for it!).

Enjoy.

Edgar_in_Indy · 03-18-2011, 12:02 PM

Sweet pics guys, thanks!

I believe I'm going to order the 15mm. I have an HTC Incredible I'm selling on eBay, so once that auction is complete tomorrow I should have enough play-money for the lens.

pxpaulx · 03-18-2011, 03:48 PM

Definitely worth the money, you won't regret it!

pencilnink · 03-18-2011, 09:43 PM

Love this lens, can't wait till I have enough to get myself one.

liukaitc · 03-19-2011, 08:28 AM

Wow, that dark green body looks cool.

shadmanaj · 03-23-2011, 09:37 PM

Can any post photos of a K-x with a Tamron 28-75. I'm buying that and the only thing worrying me is the size.

I have the Tamron 28-75mm and it's the primary lens on my K-x. I don't find it too large at all. I actually prefer the extra heft and the larger grip as compared to the kit lens. And as a bonus I think it looks very cool on the K-x. But even if I preferred the handling of the kit lens, the image quality of the 28-75mm would be enough to sway me.

Here's some pics of my K-x with the 28-75mm:
