AF330 FTZ and istDL
George, do you still think that everything I had told is : "Rubbish..."? Yes. You said that: "Modern lenses work with modern cameras. There will never be a so-called "full-frame" Pentax DSLR, and most people will never use film again, so they will not be disadvantaged i...

Since the original post dates back to November 2006, and the OP has not been back since with any kind of comment, one can only assume that he has answered his own question.

ME super lenses on a digital SLR???
All previous 'K' mount lenses will also work using Manual exposure mode and stopped down metering to set the shutter speed. These lenses will also work in Av mode, but the picture will be taken at full (wide open) aperture, the lens aperture does not stop down until after the image is taken for some...

ME super lenses on a digital SLR???
Here's more living and learning Peter. :lol: All non-A lenses work fine in the Manual Mode (and Manual focus) with stop down metering using either the DOF Preview btn or the AE-L btn. As you say, using them in Av mode doesn't work unless you only want to shoot wide open. At least that is how it wo...

ME super lenses on a digital SLR???
K and M bodies don't support FAJ and DA lenses. That is the official line but according to my testing is not 100% accurate. If you examine the back of the DA lenses you will notice that they still have the actuator which should be connected to the aperture ring. It is permanently fixed in the &quo...

Extension tubes!
They move the lens further away from the film plane or digital sensor, and this has the effect of allowing the lens to focus on objects that are close. It's more convenient to buy a proper macro lens, but if you aren't sure if you want to pay for one, this is a cheaper alternative. G

Extension tubes!
I have the Tamron 90mm macro (not the 1:1 unfortunately) and often use a set of Jessops tubes to get closer, the only problem with extension tubes is the shallow depth of focus (I hope thats the right terminology)...or is it field of focus??? Extension tubes can be fiddly but you will get some s...

A Pentax Bellows works well too and incorporates back and forth micro adjustment but not side to side. Downside is you need a cable release to stop down the lens unless you use it manually or wide open and another cable release for the camera. The double cable release that comes with the bellows ...

Hi Mac, I wouldn't think the white card at the edge of the viewfinder would have a huge effect on the exposure reading. If you're really worried that it is, try this: With your current piece of white card in place so that you can see the needle, introduce another piece of white card on the le...

Extension tubes!
I've got a rightangle viewfinder somewhere, got it off ebay a couple of years back, but found I never really used it much, prefering to get down on my knees and get hair full of leaves. Just dug it out of the dreaded 'box of old, but potentially useful, stuff', kept under the bed. Ended up rakin...

Another advantage of using the longer lens(es) is that you can use your big sturdy tripod off the edge of the table instead of the tiny, tippy table-top tripods close up. Hi Mac, re: the table top tripods, reminded me of a thread I posted back at the beginning of the year.. https://www.penta...

K10D shipped and in user hands
I have emailed my Pentax rep this morning for further info and as its Saturday I may not hear back from him today. Reading the DPReview forum it would appear that 3 people have the camera. It certainly doesn't appear to be a large shipment at all. I was told a while ago that Europe and specifical...

It's nice to be able to major on Pentax once again - if it were possible it's all I would sell!! Canon are possibly the worst company in the photo trade to deal with.... (Just my humble opinion of course....!) Chris That's what we like to hear! I just found out about your shop after spending ages...

K10D, K100D, Pentax Book - Canada
I went in to the local Henry's where I deal to ascertain the release date and price of the K10D. Their computer shows a release date of November 25 and they expect to get them in the stores a few days later. They were not sure how many each store would receive. The price is shown as CDN$1099 for the...

Mongoose, I had forgotten that Henry's did that and when I was bemoaning the fact that I couldn't get the K10D and that the K100D was going to set me back $700 for the body the sales assistant that I always use reminded me of the offer. She checked my *istDS2 in the computer and although I was ab...
