What do Pentax have to do ?....
Last evening I was in my local Henry's Camera store picking up some paper supplies. Another chap had just bought a new Epson printer and he was asking my advice on different papers for use with the Ultrachrome inks. During the conversation he indicated that he started photography with a Pentax L...

What do Pentax have to do ?....
Spider, The Canadian "Photo Life" regularly has Pentax equipment as a prize for a draw. Current issue has a K100D system including body, DA 18-55, DA 50-200, DA Macro 50, AF540 Flash and Gadget Bag. (retail value C$3,000). Paulypentax, I'll look for you from the shore and take a p...

What do Pentax have to do ?....
greenmr, What camera are you using and what are your photographic interests? I've got an *istDS, and I used to be a pro about 25 years ago shooting fashion/glamour/product. I left photography completely for 20 years, then got a digital point and shoot. From there I got the bug again, and bought t...

What do Pentax have to do ?....
Back to the subject, and ignoring pwynnej, although there is something in what he says, there's a lot of antiphathy towards BMWs, and I think some deserve it. :oops: What do Pentax have to do? Well, I've just read the AP review, and Damien seems to be routing for Pentax in a way. I think the pro...

What do Pentax have to do ?....
Very good points Dan and maybe YOU personally do insult the Canon brand with your tongue firmly in cheek but I feel there are some members (not necessarily on this topic) that are quite serious about it. I personally find it all a bit boring really. I say let's just forget about C & N and get ...

Pentax K10D - Absolute Black Darkness - TEST
Liam, to leave the long exposure shots out for a minute.. You do make me laugh :P That image was: 30sec, ISO 200, f2.8, Pentax *ist-D. So, maybe it's not "a minute", just "half a minute" :P I've just tried 30sec exposures on both my *ist-D and K10D (both with and without...

K100D mods (am I nuts?)
So I have a K100D and generally, I'm happy with it. However, it's a bit tricky with manual focus lenses. I found out that the focussing screen can be replaced by one with the classic indicator thing. You can buy them for $100USD but I have a Pentax ME body here that's doing nothing... Does anyone...

K100D mods (am I nuts?)
I know some people are hacking canons to remove the ir filter. trouble is, unless you have the tools and experience to work with inredible percision, there's little an average person can do. I'm playing around with a homebuilt lens that uses a bodycap, a bag/bellows of neoprene, a focus rail, and ...

K10D arrives in Jessops
Cameras2U also list AAA batteries as an accessory under the Gx10, very confusing! If you have an interest in the Gx10 then the manual is available as a download on the Samsung UK site here: http://www.samsungcamera.co.uk/product/pro_view.asp?prol_uid=1925&cat_uid=62 It makes interesting...

DNG vs PEF
How do these two systems differ? Pros, cons, compatibility with other software, who holds the reins for future development and its compatibility, risk, image quality, Adobe Camera Raw differences, and so on. I have a K10D coming, but need to decide beforehand which format to shoot. It's com...

K10D and AF360FGZ
Brian, The K10D very much errs on the side of caution. It's only a problem if you shoot JPG. With RAW it can be a stop or two underexposed and have absolutely no problem bringing it back - I am still stunned by its phenomenal dynamic range compared to the *ist-D! Did a family shoot with AF540 + ...

My new Pentax K10D : a little marvel
Amazing really, after reading the reviews of the K100D and seeing it lambasted for being such poor value compared with the opposition.... Yet I have seen it for sale for 350 - outstanding value... Also it's been 'scored-down' as it's only 6 MP - BUT they love the D40 :roll: Seems that the ...

My new Pentax K10D : a little marvel
I took mine out for it's first real test this afternoon. I am in love. I don't know if its the SR, the focusing system, something to do with the new sensor or a combination of all of the above but this camera just LOVES my Jappanese built Zeiss 75-300. I've always thought this lens was alright bu...

My new Pentax K10D : a little marvel
http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=21558370 Read this and it becomes painfully apparent that us Pentax users are so blinded by excitement and brand loyalty that we overlook the fact that the K10D is a rubbish product. I read through this thread yesterday and not j...

K10D -sharp or not?
I love the K10D but bought body only. I've attached a Tamron AF18-200 LD aspherical (IF) DiII (supposed to be a slow focus lens) but it is now like lightening. The pictures are sharp and well defined. I'm not a pixel peeper and have been quite happy with the 6Mb iST DS but the added size does hel...

K10D -sharp or not?
I have a Ds (yet to afford a leaf back, even the K10d) and the sharpness is very poor especially when compared to any Canon DSLr for the simple reason that Canon's sensors are far better. I have a range of Fa* and limited Pentax lenses and the results are still poor when matched with a Canon with ...

K10D -sharp or not?
From what I have discovered sharpness, or lack of it, is evident on all forms of digital even when scanning hi-res film. I have been working along side a fine artist who hires expensive equipment and the simple solution to getting the sharpest 'unprocessed' images is to use the best sensors. I ...
