After a quite deliberations and discussions I bought Pentax DA16-45/f4 as my upgraded kit lens ( I never bought kit lens) over Tamron 17-50/f2.8 for the only reason of SMC coating and Pentax original lens. It has been more than 1 year since I bought and I had some wonderful shots with it. Especially color rendering etc. (here is the set )

However some times I am missing that damn one stop of 2.8 for some indoor shots or wherever light is not sufficient. I want to give a try and check the lens Tamron 17-50/2.8 for some time before going for a buy. Now the questions are

* Any of you India Pentaxians use Tamron 17-50/2.8?
* If yes, can I borrow for couple of weeks? I will pay shipping both sides.
* If you want, I can lend you my 16-45/f4 as a guarantee, till I check the Tammy.

I do have folks in Hyderabad who have this Tammy but not pentax mount.

Let me know if anybody interested.

Cheers
Sudhakar
Lovely shots from your 16-45 mm lens.... Nice colors & DOF!!!

Are you not considering the Tamron 28-75 mm/f2.8? (I know its not that wide enough)

Regards
Ankur

Hi Sudhakar

I am from Vizag, I am getting my K-x (18-55 & 50-200) on 31st Jan, unfortunately I can put my hands on my first DSLR only on 4th or 5th Feb. From 6th Feb for 2 days I will be in Pragathi Resorts, Hyd. I will try to take as many pics as possible.

I will try to contact you while at Hyd.

Hello from Bangalore

Hi,

I've been a member since the last year, based out of Bangalore. Its nice to see a very interested Pentax group in India.

I was abroad for a while and collected a few lens' with a K7 before I returned.

If somebody is interested I have a Sigma 105mm@2.8 for trade. I'm looking at getting a K200 or K10 body. I find the lens rarely used.

If interested please pm me.

Thanks,
Sunil

Hey pentaxians,

I am from India and new to this forums. I am looking forward to getting my first DSLR and wish to have a pentax k-x, but unfortunately there is no scope to get a pentax in india. One more problem is servicing your gear if it gets into any problems. Can pentax cameras be serviced by local shops incase some problems occur ? Suppose the warranty also has ended.

anways I am looking forward to get a used k-x under 20k in mumbai. does anybody have a deal here ?

Hi Friends
I casually asked in a studio regarding K Mount lens for my K-x, he took out a Pentax camera with SMC Pentax 40-80mm f/2.8 lens, I did't notice whether it is manual or auto. Price Rs. 1500/- with body.
Quality seems to be good, anyways I will ask my photography friends to check the quality, please suggest - is it worth buying and suitable for family photos and landscapes.

I think it is this lens ... manual focus it is

SMC Pentax-M 40-80mm F2.8-4 Lens Reviews - Pentax Lens Reviews & Pentax Lens Database
Seems ok .. as its not a fixed aperture (f2.8 lens) ... check the review for more detail.

Can you tell me on which camera it was??

regards,
santosh.

Hi Santosh

Thanks for the information, it is film camera, if you want the model, I can find out and let you know.

In fact I am looking for a used prime lens, someone promised me in a weeks time, if that fails then I will bargain and take 40-80 zoom. I already have two kit lenses covering this range, still I am interested because I think picture quality with SMC lenses are good compared to DAL kit lenses.

Regards
Sai Kumar
