Borrow lens request: Pentax macro lens

dinneenp · 2011-02-10 11:59:00

Hi, I had a very recent thread asking about 90mm f2.8 macro lens and blurred background here and read another about loaning equiptment. So this is my request to borrow any macro lens that'll fit a Pentax K-X. I'm in Galway but can travel a bit to get it. I don't need it for very long- just want to try one out, play with it…

Hi,
I had a very recent thread asking about 90mm f2.8 macro lens and blurred background here and read another about loaning equiptment.

So this is my request to borrow any macro lens that'll fit a Pentax K-X. I'm in Galway but can travel a bit to get it. I don't need it for very long- just want to try one out, play with it a bit to see if I'd get into the whole macro thing or not. If it's not returned in the same condition as you gave it to me I'll buy you a new one/give you the money.

I can offer you a lens to borrow from me in return if you want- I have a Tammy 17-50mm f2.8 and a Pentax 18-250mm (and a flash).

Thanks in advance,
Pa.

The Sigma 70-300 for Pentax has Full Macro on it, CCSL on here has one, and I've seen its macro ability, which it does seem to work pretty well.

Sorry Dineenp, wish I had one to give you a loan of, but that's something on my wish list for next Xmas I'm afraid
