[oceanpriest]

I can only afford the granddad model. :bsmilie:

Now, how do I strobe with this...?

max sync speed is 1/60s rite?

lastolite? :bsmilie:

Yep. Basically a "Super" Super Program. I can't trigger shutter manually without loading film...
I would have preferred the 645N, but beggers can't be choosers.

Congrats on the new/old purchase.
I'm sure it won't disappoint.
You need the sync cord.
Connect it to the wireless transmitter pc cord jack.
Camera > sync cord > wireless transmitter ----> wireless triggers


You should get a leaf shutter camera that can sync higher if you want to do strobing.

Thanks. I figured as much, but having it work is another thing.
There are some leaf shutter lenses for the 645, but I don't think I'll grab them anytime soon.

Farhan, congrats on your 645. It's a lovely camera.

Bro r u back? u keeping 2 of this???

The Tamron one is it the one gana bashed slow focusing, cannot lock onto focus etc etc that one?

 

[darrrrrrrrrr]

Yeah, but I think it's worse on the other mounts, because all the other 70-200s use ring-type HSM but the Tamron uses a lousy motor. On the Pentax mount, especially on the K-5, the screw-drive is pretty quick and snappy.

I checked on a youtube video about a tammy 70-200 on K-5, i think the focusing speed is not too shabby

fWah...Power !!! .... your lens make your cameller looked so small.... mine makes the cameller looked big nia...:cry:

I feel the tammy 70200 f2.8 AF is almost the same as DA*50135 in low light. In bright outdoor AF spped seems fast enough.

Hi bro Yamakasi, I order it from GizmoBuy, took 3 weeks to arrive after paying up front. Almost thought I won't get it. Now hunting for a 18-250mm to match it but still no luck in getting one.

hi geengar,
i'm considering to order the k-r from GizmoBuy too, how's their service, is it reliable? Thanks

 

[Me109]

K-5 with 18-135mm lens

very nice camera.. still working out its eccentricities but so far so good..

 

[evolutioner]

@ME109, the IQ of that 18-135 definitely looks worse that kit 18-55

Before dissing the lens, it might be due to user error or lousy web compression instead. At web sizes, all lenses should look fine
