New K10D V1.10 Firmware
Hi Tim, I suspect the large size of the file is due in part to having to support so many lanuages in the Menus. It could be.. I got my DL, and within 5 minutes of going through the menu to set up bits and pieces, whilst having little idea of what I was actually doing, I set the language to Chines...

New K10D V1.10 Firmware
it's now official on the Penatx Web site. It's wonderful! ISO control in Av and Tv with the "other" dial, and wireless flash! I also got the Katz Eye screen. After I screwed it up installing, I actually took it to them where Rachel kindly put the camera back together. Now I hav...

What Lenses can you reccommend for K10D ???
The 18-55 is actually not a bad lens at all, it is far superior to certain other manufacturors kit zooms and stopped down a bit is actually quite sharp. I have taken a number of (to me) very acceptable portraits and landscapes with that lens. If you need a shallower depth of field for portraits cons...

What Lenses can you reccommend for K10D ???
The top Sigmas are allegedly pretty good, but you can never be certain that they will work on your next camera. The Pentax 50-200 is well regarded for such a modestly-priced lens, and I would swap it for your Sigma if you can. My rule of thumb is never to put a third-party lens on my camera un...

More great reviews to read about the pentax K10D
what a lovely picture, if he were my dog that would be framed and on my wall. Looks like you nailed the focus and the exposure to my eyes, his nose is perhaps just a tad bright but its not enough to really annoy, and white pets are always a pain to expose right. really shows the detail the K10D i...

Magnifier Eycup
Hi all, I think this topic deserves a thread on it's own, never knew this accessory existed, others might be quite interested in keeping an eye open for another too. I asked a question earlier in another thread regarding this item I picked up on ebay today.... Does anybody have any info,...

Hi Will, Yes I do. Let me know where to email it.... It is very extensive and includes 67 and 645 as well as compacts, binos and spotting scopes, but at least you know you're getting the lot!!! Mike. What, no surveying instruments? The R series total stations with auto focus telescopes...

Proper bayonet caps and the like to replace the cheapo push on version that YOU :wink: supplied with my FA 50mm 1.4! :o Did the same to me! Sounds like SRS staff are pocketing the proper caps that Pentax would obviously be generous enough to give us! Damn, there's no 'strokey-chin' smiley> :lol: ...

So has anyone used one of these eyepieces (FB or the O-Mthingy)? Make much of a difference? I'm currently putting contact lenses in for extended use with the K100d. I did think about Katz Eye screens, but then I thought about the price (and then I thought about making a toasted cheese sandwich, but ...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
I thought my K10D was faulty the other day, when I took the AF 18-55 off the front and replaced it with one of my A-series lenses. It was only when I switched from Auto to Manual focus that the shutter would fire. It's reproducible with other A lenses (both Pentax and Sigma) - if it's in AF mo...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
Hi Chris I've had no problem with this at all but you must ensure the aperture ring is in position A otherwise it won't work except in manual. :D I'va also tried this with the custom settings turned off and it still works. If it's definately at position A then you probably have a camera faul...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
In AF-S mode the focus system must think the shot is in focus for the shutter release to work. If the focus indicator is not lit, the camera wont go off (this is true of all Pentax AF cameras not just the K10D). You need to either make sure the focus indicator is lit, or put the camera into MF mo...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
easy test: prefocus the lens. lens on "A" setting, body on "AF" move the camera slowly towards the subject, and at the point of focus the camera should fire. It's called "Snap in focus" by pentax..and is a long time feature, that I doubt they'd just drop it on the ne...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
I found this a bit tricky with my K100D as with AF lenses I use the central focus point, but often like to focus manually (so if the point of focus is off centre the shutter won't fire unless I switch to MF on the camera). The best way round this on the K100D is switching the autofocus to the OK but...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
With manual focus lenses you should set the camera to MF. If you don't the shutter will still fire, but only when the focus confirmation lights up and the camera knows it is in focus. This is unrelated to the A setting on the lens.
