Pentax K10D lens compatability
I assume you mean the SMC-F 17-28mm fisheye, the SMC-FA 28-200mm, the SMC-FA 80-320 - all these lenses are perfectly ok on digital. You will get all functions: autofocus, auto-aperture etc. I use SMC-F and SMC-FA lenses that were designed for film and can say they are absolutely sublime on digit...

Pentax K10D lens compatability
Lilly, IF = Internal Focus which means the filter end of the lens does not rotate when focussing. This has two main benefits, you can use a circular polariser and it won't turn, and you can fit a 'petal' shaped hood rather than a round one.

SD card speeds - and how fast is needed?
I get 10 frames in PEF raw with my 60x card, then it drops right back to maybe 1FPS if that.

I get 10 frames in PEF raw with my 60x card, then it drops right back to maybe 1FPS if that. I get 8 with PEF, then it drops back to 1.5 seconds per frame. With DNG, it's 10, then 3 seconds per frame.

Excellent K10 review,..but doubts....
Hi Viewfinder, I was reluctant to 'go digital' for some time, prefering to get a slide scanner instead, but then I got an istD ten months later. I'll admit that this model is a much less (potentially) confusing model than the K10D. You can't customise how the command dials work for instance, an...

Excellent K10 review,..but doubts....
I'm looking for at least some semi-pro qualities. Viewfinder, Before you answer my forthcoming question, please download the K10D manual, read it's spec and capabilities. Then please . . . . . . tell us what you percieve as the "semi-pro qualities" that this camera lacks. I'm not ...

noise comparison - istD & k10D?
Thanks Rodger - looks clean. I inadvertently took a few on my *istD at 1600 ISO t'other day - looked awful! I wonder if there is a fault that doesn't screw up lower ISO piccies. The camera did go back to Pentax about a year ago whilst still under warranty - however not sure if they sorted anything o...

A question of compensation
Ooops :oops: Forgot also with flash that the power of the flash is adjusted as well... In fact, with the pop-up flash and AF360/540 you can use fully manual on the camera (ie meter for the bits you want) and the P-TTL flash will sort itself out automatically :D To be honest, you have little c...

A question of compensation
Many thanks Matt, especially for your patience. That was some reply and confirmed much of what I suspected plus adding a few new bits as well. As you have probably gathered from my various posts over time, my photography is not in the same league as some of the rest of you. I find the subject, ...

Hi All MY STORY My name is Pete a new digital SLR User of the Pentax K10D. I have been using the Olympus E500 for just under a month then had the option to return the camera if not satisified in 30 days for a refund. I found this camera very good for a entry SLR however over the past couple o...

CAN ANYONE SHOW US SOME STUNNING IMAGES TAKEN WITH THE K10D
I am not going to make any claims to them being stunning, but all the shots in my EPZ pf since Phalaenopsis were taken with the K10D. I am still getting to grips with it and my digtal workflow is not at its best at the moment due to some hardware issues, but no regrets so far. I think this ...

Viewing images on PC help required
I am afraid that only sure way is to get both Monitor and Printer calibrated properly. ...and get them calibrated to work together. I am no expert, but I believe a major problem is that the monitor is back lit whilst prints are, of course, front lit. You will never get a print to look like the m...

How to Clean the mirror ????
I'm with Mr Ist, the mirror is surface silvered so touching it with anything at all is A Bad Idea (TM). Remember gunk on mirror or focusing screen wont show up on the pictures, and in fact I would have thought things on the mirror wouldn't even show up in the viewfinder since it will be out of f...

I only had 5 mins as i had to get back to work. I was about 3 feet away from my dog and set my camera to apeture priority F4.5 the shutt...

Flash Gun for Pentax K10D required
The Sigma does do one thing that the Pentax doesn't, it will till turn as well as tilt. So if use take a picture in portrait orientation you can still bounce light off the ceiling. Otherwise it does pretty much the same. For the above reason though I got the sigma. It's reported that the Sigma ...
