Inexpensive gear with Pentax - Hin's Tech Corner

This item is sold as is as I have not tested the flash thoroughly since I have bought my AF540 flash.

Update: I have not found time to test this flash on K10D.

That's a good deal on a very nice M 200 f/4. I love that lens.

Thanks! It is difficult for me to sell this lens, but it overlaps with two of my zooms and I plan to trim down my gear to fewer lens and hence I pick this one in my to-be-sold items in my lens roadmap

PM sent on M 200/4...

PM answered. I have confirmed that the lens does not rotate in focusing and that you can mount filter on the lens with filter size 52mm and the built in lens hood still works. Here are two more pictures with the lens

Greg,

I apologize as the lens was sold to Willis earlier this morning and Willis asked about the lens earlier and he was prompt in the decision and payment. Both the Power Zoom and M 200mm f/4.0 will be shipped out today.

Update:

• Pentax SMC FA 28-80 f/3.5-4.7 Power Zoom [SOLD]
• Pentax M 200mm f/4.0 [SOLD]
• Tokina 28-70 f/2.8-4.3 Macro 1:3 with 'A' aperture [Available]
• Eyetek DS328AZ Flash [Available]

And I will find time to test the Eyetek digital flash and report back how to use it on K10D.

[wiseman]

RATS! This just confirms my suspicion that today is not a good day for me.

[hinman]

It was shipped on Tuesday around 10:15am west coast time. Here are the information

To check: USPS - Track & Confirm - Put our delivery information to work for you
(available probably later today in the evening)
track #: [omitted]

Added info for the power zoom:

1. The power zoom ring will work on K10D/K20D but not K100D. On K100D and perhaps K200D, you will need to use the normal zooming as in turning the zoom ring

Please note the wording for 'power zoom' below the zoom ring

2. To engage/disengage the power zoom feature

You push the zoom ring downward as in the above picture until the power zoom ring covers the wording 'power zoom'. To engage power zoom, you push the ring upward.

3. Normal zooming

Normal zooming resumes when 'power zoom' is off. You use the zoom ring as normal as in turning the zoom ring to reach a zoom length with no power assist.

Hope this extra info helps you. I love this lens better than my kit's lens for its color and contrast. Not well built and the cover is missing as I noted but this lens is great for walk around purpose.

Thanks,
Hin

Forwarded some information about the power zoom ring. Both power zoom and M 200mm f/4.0 are shipped in the morning and should reach buyers on Thursday/Friday, PM both buyers with tracking numbers.
