    lens filters

    in Pentax

    Posted

    <p>what filters do you all use and why?<br /><br />I have a few but have not used them much with my K100D but with the new Olympus I was looking into it again.<br /><br />I mostly shoot outdoors, landscape and architecture so a polarizing filter would probably be best for my use.<br />just came across this on Amazon<br /><br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Digital-Includes-Multi-Coated-UltraPro/dp/B007BCWTTA/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1376864357&sr=8-16&keywords=lens+filters+37+mm">http://www.amazon.com/Olympus-Digital-Includes-Multi-Coated-UltraPro/dp/B007BCWTTA/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1376864357&sr=8-16&keywords=lens+filters+37+mm</a></p>

    Pen F Lenses on E-P2

    in Olympus

    Posted

    <p>I just got a E-PL3 and tried the adapter thing for my K mount Pentax lenses. it didnt work out yet as the adapter caused some damage to my Tamron 70-300mm lens I was going to try to use.<br /><br />I havent given up yet though. I am going to try the adapter without the aperture ring since the lenses I plan un using already have one.<br /><br />Cant wait to try a 300MM lens on such a small camera body. it will be like a 350 cid engine in a VW...lol</p>

    We don't train to fail...enjoy the views!

    <p>which do you use to host your photo's?<br /><br />Photobucket is kind of played. looking for a new place with better features.<br /><br />I joined Imagur but I dont like it that much yet. The free account as they all have limitations. I dont mind paying for the better account and features so I am trying them both out.<br /><br />I have to get my act together. I have six years or so of unorganized digital photos. It really piles up compared to film....<br />although the other option is upgrading here and using Photo net's hosting. How is their pay account?<br />does it rival the others?<br /><br />for all the help and fun conversations I have had here and find it a wealth of info, I want to pay for what I know I get here. seems only right.<br /><br /><br />Thoughts?</p>

    <p>the aperture lever on the lens mount is fubar and I think I might have stripped a gear in the barrel of the lens itself.<br /><br />It might be repairable. I am not as upset about it today and I'll be sending an email to Tamron to inquire about their repair process and pricing.<br /><br />its only a 200 lens so it might be prudent o just buy a new one. <br /><br /><br /></p>

    <p>so I got the fotodiox 10-PK-m43 with aperture dial and pit it on my Tamron.<br /><br />I destroyed my Tamron trying to take the damn thing off..<br /><br />:(<br /><br />The little lever didnt depress to easily to be removed.<br /><br />6 year warranty for a lens I have had for just about 7 years <br /><br />the warranty disclaimer also states not to add accessories to the lens<br /><br />So I guess i am out a lens. its my fault and at least the lens is only 200 bucks but its just very disappointing not to have at least fired off one shot.<br />I am a little leery to try it on another lens. I only have a couple and dont feel like finding out if the thing is defective or I am just a massive idiot</p>

    Andrew,

    Thank you very much for the info.

     

    as far as the 18-55 compared to the 14-42...you're right. I snapped off a few pictures today that I am very

    happy with.

     

    I didnt realize the Tamron's MM range would double on the Olympus...that is awesome. I needed to

    know that.

     

    So even though my Tamron lens has the aperture ring do you think I should go with the adapter that has

    the Aperture adjustment just to have it in case I use a lens that doesnt have the ring?

     

    I really dont see that happening very much or me using a the bigger lenses often. I got the Olympus to

    reduce gear size not make it the same...lol

    <p>R.T<br /><br />I checked and only my Tamron 70-300MM and the 50MM from my K1000 has an aperture ring which is good but the 18-55mm lens I got with the K100D doesnt have it.....<br /><br />I guess for the few extra bucks I'd be better suited with the second adapter you posted.one thing I dont see is the numbers on the adapter....do you know if the F numbers are there?<br /><br /><br /></p>

    <p>RT,<br /><br />My daughter, who couldnt care less about my pictures most of the time thought the pictures from the Olympus were "vivid".....<br />High Praise from a 17YO. lol<br /><br />That Adapter is a must have and at 17 bucks why not. I see it is for a PL1 but I think its the same mount. I'll have to check but that seems like a cool thing<br /><br /></p>
