<p>Went to Spain last September with my k-5 & the 16-50. Was all I needed.</p>

<p>Spanish Holiday with the K-5 & the 16-50</p><div></div>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>As anyone ever used these 2 together? Are they compatible?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>Guy</p>

<p>Thank you to all who replied!<br>

Thinking mid term, I realized that after Spain I plan on going to Costa Rica in 2014.<br>

I'll definitely need WR gear. So I'll be getting the 16-50 WR next week & the 100mm Macro WR next year.<br>

And maybe the 200 2.8 WR. [Minister of Finances willing, of course]<br>

<p>Greetings all,</p>

<p>Preparing for a trip to Spain next month & trying to decide on what to bring camera/lenses wise.<br>

Thinking of getting one of the above to replace the 18-55 [1st gen] kit lens.<br>

All seem pretty good but the prices vary a lot from one to the other.<br>

I want this to become my general walkabout lens. Low light is not my thing so wide aperture is not required. <br>

Basically I'm looking for the most "bang for the buck" all purpose lens. Still want good image quality though...<br>

WR is nice not so much the price tag but if it's the best, I'll bite the bullet and get one!<br>

Also don't need very long because I'm more of the landscape/macro type.<br>

This zoom would be added to a K-5 & a SMC Pentax-A 50mm Macro. Traveling light for a change!</p>

<p><em>Or taking the 18-55 + 50 macro & getting a nice 15mm Limited... I just hate myself sometimes!</em></p>

<p>Thank to all for your comments & advice.</p>

<p>Thank you all for your replies.</p>

<p>Speed grip is history! Replacing it with a motor drive.</p>

<p>Thanks for the tip.<br>

Wires seem fine. Shutter release is not locked.<br>

I have no patience for thesethings. Off to the Recycling bin!<br>

<p>Hello everyone,<br>

I'm having an issue with my SQ-Ai & the Speed Grip.<br>

I am able to advance the film but it refuses to trip the shutter.<br>

Also I noticed that as soon as I install the grip on the camera, the battery check LED lights up.<br>

The camera works just <em><strong>fine</strong></em> without the grip...<br>

Anyone experience this before?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help,</p>

<p>G</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Does anyone have the links for Javier & Miserere's web sites?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

<p>G</p>

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Why don't you just put the battery in the camera when you use it?</p>

<p>G</p>

<p>Greets!</p>

<p>Wouldn't the Taks & Super Taks be compatible with a FF K3?</p>

<p>G</p>

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>Have any of you had any experience using a Ring flash (not a LED light) with the Pentax-A 120mm F4 Macro?</p>

<p>I'm looking for 1 to go with the above mentioned lens + also for my 135mm F4 Macro (6x7).</p>

<p>They both have a 67mm filter size.</p>

<p>Any models that you would recommend?</p>

<p>Thank you,</p>

<p>GGervais</p>

<p><strong>Pentax 645N</strong> - If you don't mind eye level shooting & <em>fantastic </em>lenses. All at a very <em>reasonable</em> price.<br>

Cheers!<br>

<p>Thank you for your replies.<br>

I'll go with a backpack instead. Easier on the old back.</p>
