Is Pentax 15mm f4 a good buy? Or should I get a Sigma 8-16mm? I want to try wide angle now.
What is the street price for Pentax 15/4?

because there already 50mm. equivalent to 85mm... +- la... 

Probably because its not a common focal length for APS-C camera.

Are you guys ordering lenses from the US?

Anyway, does anyone know how much I'll have to spend on the Tamron 10-24? I'm considering it... have an offer for RM 1150 for a second hand one (barely used), but not sure if I'll take it. Hm. Maybe can bargain a bit...

Pentax2u has it currently listed for RM 2,599. I think you can negotiate further with the webmaster.

For US pricing, have to wait until black Friday. Currently Adorama selling USD 800 for that lens. Also around the same price as Pentax2u. Note that P2u has 2.5 years warranty compared to US set which is virtually zero.

hey guys which retail shop can i go to for the Pentax MX-1 ?

you can try hunting them online, seen one selling at RM1300 with 36month warranty but too bad it's black only, silver all sold out

Can forget about the K-50. Just go for the K-30 or a used K-5.

Cheers.

actually..i dont have k-50....so not related...

0.

I have a 18-55, I suppose first gen (somewhere around 2005?), a 50mm Centon (in a very bad shape...), a 80-200 Tokina, and that's it. Couldn't get the 10-24...

I personally like the green ring more 

Red ring look canon-ish.

Still good to see they are upgrading the current lenses.

But IINM the 50 1.8 is like 2-3x as expensive as the equivalent Canon lens...

Well, if the new coatings help...

Circular apertures? That could be interesting...

To be honest I'm well served. A fully functional 50mm would be nice (perhaps with AF), and an ultra wide angle, but that's all. Maybe replace the 18-55 with something better (I don't think the coatings on mine are in the best condition anymore... it is a well used lens ).

I also prefer a green ring... but it's not exactly important.

Also lets not forget the new flashes that are weather sealed.

I agree the price is very expensive though the feature seems very neat.

Any JB Pentaxians participating in the workshop next week? Not sure yet if I'll go...

Hm, as far as I understand it they'll show off the K-50 and do some sort of photowalk through JB with some models from the south. Sounds rather interesting, and it's the first they do in JB, it'd be a shame if it would also be the last.
