Starting Macro - PentaxForums. com My main macro lens is a Tamron SP Adaptall-2 90mm f 2 8 (model 72B): Tamron SP MF MACRO 1:1 (72B) 90mm F2 8 Lens Reviews - Tamron Adaptall Lenses - Pentax Lens Review Database This 1:1 manual-focus lens was introduced in the mid 1990s, so it's not a modern lens
Pentax Lens Disassembly Database - PentaxForums. com This is a great lens in many ways: great optical quality, excellent macro capability, and cheap and commonly available The DAL plastic mount version has the exact same optics, and even has quick shift with the release-button trick!
Soligor MC Access hanimex. . . 35-70mm F2. 5-3. 5 - Pentax Forums This soligor 35-70mm lens looked interesting so I picked it up cheaply It is a rather typical ?early 1980's metal 'n glass zoom lens with quite a high spec: fast at f2 5, built in macro mode which is a built in extension tube, rather like the tamron adaptall zooms 28A (28-135mm), 40A (35-135mm) etc thus giving closer focus at all focal lengths, max repro at 35mm
Sigma APO 300mm F4 - Pentax Forums The IQ, bokeh and abilities to absorb light are no less than those of 400 5 6 APO Macro, which I appreciate very much Compared to my latest addition, Sigma 100-300 F4 APO EX, its images look slightly less sharp wide open - in exchange for more dreamy rendering and retaining noticeably more layers of light as your eyes can observe
KP and a manual focus macro lens - PentaxForums. com I have a KP and a couple of macro lenses (Sigma 50 2 8 manual focus and Tamron 90 2 8 autofocus, both 1:1), even though I don't do that much macro One of my lenses is autofocus, but I use both in manual focus When I shoot macro 99% of the time I am using a tripod, therefore I am also using 2 sec delay, live view, focus peaking, and magnification
Tamron Adaptall (QZ-35M) 35-80mm F2. 8-3. 5 - Pentax Forums The Macro Mode Button allows a ring to be rotated to the Macro setting, whereupon sliding the zoom moves the whole optical assembly forward, acting therefore like an extension ring (the SP 60-300mm 23A and the 35-135mm 40A , for example, are similar, this is a mode tamron used a number of times)
Tamron Adaptall-2 SP (01A) 35-80mm F2. 8-3. 8 - Pentax Forums Macro performance across the central two thirds of the film plane stands up very well against dedicated macro lenses Amazingly, this lens yields very good macro performance across the entire film plane when used with Tamron's SP 2X tele-converter There is no push button or macro ring which must be turned to enter the macro mode
