The lens came as part of the best deal I've ever gotten on Craigs List. It was on a Pentax ZX-5 and also came with a 28-200mm f3.8 Tamron AF, nice sturdy case and an auto winder...all for 75 bucks. If I ever decide to get back into film photography I have a nice upgrade from my K-1000.

OK, so I had the math completely opposite? Figures.
I have a 50mm f 1.7 which is super sharp so I'm thinking I'll stick with that. Like I said, I am not a pro and money is not something I have to toss around needlessly.
Thank you for you input.

I have a K-50 and have been toying with the idea of getting an 85 mm lens for portraiture. At B&H I was looking at some K mount lenses (manual) and it said they were for full frame and were equivalent to APS-C Focal Length: 127.5 mm. I understand that my K-50 isn't full frame and I have read about the math used to convert full frame (lens length) to APS, which might as well be Chinese to me, math not being my strong suite.
My question is this: I have a 135 mm manual lens that works well with my K-50. Would I be wasting money on getting a lens so close to what I already have? Bear in mind I am NOT a pro. I am barely an enthusiast.
Any help/advise would be greatly appreciated.

My first attempt at file compression. Originals were in the 4-5 MB range.

I am rather new at digital and totally new to the K-50. I haven't been able to find an answer to this question. I realize that there is a button on the left hand side of the camera that allows one to soot in RAW mode. However, is there a way to setup the internal software to shoot in RAW as the default for one of the custom user settings? I work with Lightroom and I bought a DSLR solely because of it's ability to shoot RAW.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

I am the proud owner of a Pentax K 1000 from years ago. About 5 years ago I took the plunge into digital with a Canon Elph point and shoot. It died so now I have a Pentax K-50. I'm finding the learning curve a tad steep at this point but I'm sure I'll get the 'hang' of it.
Anyway, thanks for having me and thank you in advance for the great amount of tolerance I hope you'll have with my frequent questions.
:cool:
