Hi!
First image with the FA 100-300.
I am very pleased with the lens. She showed me that has more to offer if I improve my technique ...
Thanks to everyone who gave their opinion about the choice!

My First Flash: Pentax AF280T or YN460II ???

In fact, I was looking for a multipurpose flash. I'm not completely adept at automatic. Also, plan to resurrect some M42 lenses that my father has, with a Spotmatic. But I still need better control over basic things like DOF and correct exposure. Strobe is a fascinating world, but to me it is still a second stage. It seems to me that it's possible to explore the concepts of correct exposure with a flash unit without power regulation, although this is more limited. I believe it is possible to learn enough about the subject with a simple flash to later buy a flash that I know actually use. Does that make sense?





I got it! Thanks!



I have not read much bad about the YN in Brazil. No one compares its quality to a Nikon SB, etc.. But it's seen as a great choice for its price.

Sorry by the ugly English...

Hi!

I'm with the flash, I made a few silly photos to test. They all work properly. I liked what I saw in position for macro, had never used an auto flash with this quality. Again, thanks for the tips!


In the future, I intend to buy a Metz 48, but I need to save money and learn more about photography to be worth the investment.


In what situations could this happen? I did not realize.

Thanks! But a 360 (I think you are referring to AF360FGZ) is too expensive for me, even a used one.

Great! A little cheaper than the 460, too.
Thanks!

Hi!

Yes, it's a flash for all purposes and to stay in the camera. My question is exactly on AUTO, if this function is really worth it over the increased potential for regulation of 460.

Thanks!

Hi, everyone!

Could anyone help me?
I have read many recommendations on the AF280T and I am sure about its quality, but also read good things about YN460II. Both are within my price range.
What is more worthwhile? The automatic modes of 280 or greater range of manual adjustments of the 460??? :confused:
All feedback will help a lot!
Thank you!

Hi, everyone!

The FA 100-300 won! The price and image quality were decisive. Thanks to all opinions!

Thanks! Yes, I thought it, but the price is deterrent. The $350 with brazilian taxes will be more than $450, with no shipping. It would cost a total of 800 in brazilian cash, against 300 or 400 of the 100-300 50-200, both used.

Thanks! That's what I'm thinking abaout, as I said in response to Swift1. It is a good idea giving up the opportunity to buy the 100-300 for a price lower than the 50-200 to have the 50-100 range? What do you think about

Thanks! It seems to me that the quality of the 100-300 make it a good lens to have, even if not used often. I need other opinion: it is a good idea giving up the opportunity to buy the 100-300 for a price lower than the 50-200 to have the 50-100 range? What do you think about?

Thanks! Found just one seller on E-Bay that ships to Brazil and the price with shipping and taxes becomes more expensive than the DA and FA I found here in Brazil. Still looking for other alternative!

Just wanna say hi!

Little time and little money to shoot, but a lot of fun when doing!

I am a Brazilian fan of Google Translate, so I apologize in the quality of English...

Thanks!

Hi, everyone!

I'm new like member but always consult the threads and I like too much!

I need a help to buying one of these two lenses:
SMC Pentax-FA 100-300mm F4.7-5.8 Reviews - Pentax Lens Reviews & Pentax Lens Database
SMC Pentax-DA 50-200mm F4-5.6 ED Reviews - Pentax Lens Reviews & Pentax Lens Database

I have a *istDL with the 18-55. So, I was inclined to buy the original pair for it, the DA 50-200.
But after reading about the FA 100-300, I'm not sure anymore. It has better average rating and many users praised the sharpness for the price.

I have the opportunity to buy both at the same price. I have no problems with the range of the 100-300, I want to buy the best optics for a poor newbie!

Every opinion will help!

Thanks and sory by the ugly English...
