Model Air@Buckminster 2026
What smc says. My experience was with control line models when I was much younger. No such thing then as radio control. It's a fascinating hobby and highly addictive. If you're into 'free f ...
Update on my K-70
Nice shots and a very brave one of the Magpie, as it has always been a difficult bird to snap IMHO. 4, 5 and 6 my favourite ones. :liked: Thank you, the magpie did not move to my surprise, it was ...
C3-310 shutter release cable
I have two of these Pentax branded release cables, both very clean: £18.00 each including postage. The button release can also slide to be locked for long timed exposures in bulb mode. They work wi ...
Help with Theft
Yay! The K-3iii turned-up just half an hour before I leave for the airport for a short trip to Malta. Quick check, all seems well. I would have preferred to have had my original K-3iii but this ...
Furzton Lake
I was very happy with today's results. Handheld with the 150 to 450 lens, I use TV & let the ISO sort itself out within reason.
Details at a railway station.

An Artistic Approach
What a beautiful old mill and the way you have executed your photo is fantastic The mill is actually not all that old. Edwin Mabry began to build it about 1903 as a blacksmith and wheelwright shop. ...
Update On My Bit Of A Gamble!
Then I took a quick jpeg image and checked the shutter count and the manufacture date, which turned out to be 2017, so a bit disappointed that it's an early model prone to the aperture block but it ...
Zebra Spider
If you've got suggestions for how to make the PP more effective, let me know below. Crop even more if they can take it - I wanna see more spider, less background. But a nice sequence of somethi ...
Thank you both, to Tracey and Rick.
I agree with what Flan has said. Thank you to Tracey and Rick for trying to re-create the Pentax User style across all Camera Brands. Not many camera club photographers seemed to join, which was a ...

X5 problems
Highly doubtful that parts still exist for the X5, I have emailed one possible camera repairer and am waiting for them to get back to me. If they quote £750 I think it might be cheaper to buy a new ...
I am taking a bit of a gamble!
There are sites where you can upload a JPG and read the EXIF data. I preger to use a program called Exiftool. Because it has a command line interface, I use it with a Windows GUI shell:
Cranefly
We have Crane Flys in the UK but they look nothing like that :) We do have Tiger Crane Flies , but their markings aren't as vivid as this one. Steve
Another 'Guess the Plant'
I've found the label! It's Sarracenia Leucophylla Compacta. May the knowledge fill your lives with joy and happiness :lol:. Steve
Pentax DA HD 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited Lens - Boxed Mint
Thanks for the info, have never really looked into it but seemed a bit of an oversight there. Yeah, I am of the opinion that Pentax missed an opportunity with the change from SMC to HD DA Limiteds ...
Abstracts
This style developed out of a determination to take at least one picture a day for a whole year. When the weather etc. prevented a trip out I looked around the house for images and I now have quite ...
DFA * 85mm f1.4 HD ED SDM £252.95
I just looked. Seems too good to be true and also looks out of stock.

Then I would suggest OP returns the lens.
FS: Pentax KP
Pentax KP for sale - good condition with signs of use. Perfect working order. Previously had a screen ribbon issue so I swapped it out for a third party ribbon (thread on PentaxForums about this ...
Bursting Out...
All gone! It's Saturday 16th May and the seedhead is empty. The seeds fell onto the floor yesterday and are now safely in an envelope waiting to be sown and spend a summer on a sunny window ledge. ...
How to use the 1.7xAF adapter with (almost) any lens.
Another great example of Pentax tip sharing - thank you David :liked:
Garden Minimalism
Really like the first one, stands on its own really well. The second image I do see working as a very effective part of the sequence you have described. Personally I love the black space in the i ...
