I bought the K30 a year ago and in retrospect I wish I got the K5 II instead and now I have the K3. - If you get a cheaper one, you will likely upgrade in the future but you need to think about your budget also. $$$

What neutral density filters should I use for sigma 10-20mm 5.6 dc?


I like landscapes and cityscapes and I am going to Japan so I want to take awesome pix with my k30 and k3. Thanks




Also what about an IR 665 filter for the k30 (I noticed k3 may not be able to shoot IR since it cant see the remote light when doing that test)


Is an IR 665 filter see through like 590nm so one wont need a tripod for light and long exposures?


Thanks

DA 60-250 vs Sigma 18-250mm comparison- Ill stick to my sigma for now
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/10-pentax-slr-lens-discussion/227006-lens-comparison.html


This is also a good real world comparison Tammy 70-200 2.8 vs 70-300 mm 4-5.6

For a thousand bucks difference people pay for a small difference in quality- It shows how much technology has progressed.

Im guessing its not worth the money unless I go for the 60-250mm (too expensive) 1400 bucks or maybe a 70-200 constant f/2.8 Tamron 700 bucks (THE LENS Im leaning toward) or a prime lens which is something I don't want or need since they are bad for traveling and not multipurpose.


What are peoples thoughts on the Pentax 60-250 vs tammy 70-200mm?


I like the 55-300 wr and the 55-200 wr (for the weather resistance) but the picture quality really matters most.

Looking at the various reviews online and comparing pics and I like my Sigma 18-250 -- (I do have a bit of buyers remorse (bought it a awhile a go) and think I should have went with the tammy 18-270 BUT... now that I have a new K3 I see the lens is limiting my pix and has its limits I want something much sharper is the Pentax 55-300 WR going to be much sharper than my sigma? or is the Tammy 70-300 which only costs 160 bucks (very cheap) much sharper?


I really DO NOT want to get the 60-250 DA* Looks great but is WAYY too pricey. 1300 bucks? if it was ~900 I would consider it. I just got the 17-70 pentax with my new K3 and its better (sharper than the sigma 18-250mm within its zoom range) so Im looking for a 55-300 or 70-300 that is going to make a difference in sharper crisper images or would I be wasting money and should only go 60-250 DA if I really wanted a sig. difference? Thanks

These are some of my best pix so far- no image editing- Venice pic may have been with Fuji or Pentax WG
the rest where with either pentax k-30 with sigma 18-250 lens or Pentax WG

Ill post a few questions on the other sections on getting a better lens than the one above and Infrared photography since I just got a Pentax k-3 and pentax 17-70mm.
