OK quick *summing up* questions... Pentax 1.7x AF convertor auto focuses itself within a range set by manuall adjusting the lens that's fitted to it? SMC 80-320 works with the above convertor on an IST D, allowing the camera to control aperture and the camera/convertor to focus? How much li...

Yes, that basically sums it up. Think of it as a standard 2x converter (1.7x isn't far off) and then imagine it as an AF lens in it's own right. It has the same AF coupling and electronics as an F series lens. The front of the converter is effectively a KA mount (no AF coupling this time but yes,...

Incidentally, the adapter is also usable with the camera in MF mode or on a manual body (a Super A or MZ-M, for example) and you can adjust the adapter's setting by turning the focus mechanism with a watchmakers' screwdriver before mounting it onto the camera. Hi, Why would one want to adjust the...

Hi, Why would one want to adjust the 1.7AF's settings, I presume focus setting, when using it with a manual lens ? Greg I doubt you will get an answer. Last Login: 14th December 2007 - 04:25

I am one of the . I have tried various TC to some degree of success. But the lost of light and image quality lead to more bad images than good one. But I still stick to the TC for a few simple reasons -- portability and great bargain for occasional use on that silly birds. My most favorite TC...

I believe he means that if the TC had previously auto focussed to either extreme and then been disconnected and connected to a manual camera, then you may find that it affects your minimum focus distance or infinity focus as it won't be able to correct itself since the camera doesn't have AF. Yes, t...

Hi Hin, That a lovely shot of a pelican in flight, how far was it. Greg I would think about 40 to 60 feet but that is a guess on my part. I may have a small crop on that picture. With the 2x mounted, my 600mm can't go AF, and I was using MF for the shot panning the moment I saw the Pelican com...

What's format of JPG needed for it can be displayed on Penta
Actually I think it's more than what format... I know that if I move files (even the originals) back onto the card and put into my *ist-D it won't necessarily display them :( Don't know whether the cameras look for a specific order or directory format, but in my experience not many cameras wil...

What's format of JPG needed for it can be displayed on Penta
For canon I have original software wich convert any photos to necessary format. When I copy photos back onto the Pentax it's OK. But file names must be correct. When I edit photos from Pentax in MS Paint and save it is displayed in Pentax exactly. But when I edit photos in Photoshop it doesn't. I...

What's format of JPG needed for it can be displayed on Penta
I think this is a general issue with most manufacturers. I'm thinking that the file format specification needs to be so precise that, after editing, then copying it back to the camera, it doesn't work. Even sometimes just saving the file to a PC, and copying it back doesn't work. I have the same...

What happens when you get to 10,000?
Hi everyone, Just a thought. What happens to the image numbering on the istD when you get past IMGP9999, do you go back to IMGP0001 or does it get itself another digit, and give you IMGP10000? Might be a bit of a pain when you start getting duplicates... I've only got another 1,500 to go, ...

What happens when you get to 10,000?
It's almost as though they don't expect anyone to get to 10,000. Okay, what's supposed to happen before then: a) You 'upgrade' to a DS or DL b) It's a throwaway society; the camera packs up, you get another one c) You suddenly realise Peter Elgar's right all along, bin the D and get your MZ5N ...

What happens when you get to 10,000?
Amazing what is available and for free these days. Unfortunately Irfanview is windows-only. Having changed to a Mac, I will not change back. Perhaps to a Linux box but not windows.
