K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
I got the Katz Eye screen, from and can turn off the autofocus with confidence. I was actually at the place where they make the screens, and we took a number of different cameras, and sometimes the autofocus coincided with the manual focus, and sometimes not. Even on the same camera. All the...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
I got the Katz Eye screen, from and can turn off the autofocus with confidence. This style of screen is what I've been used to for years (Super A and ME Super), and initially I missed it on the K10D. However, with a slow long lens, it can be very dark, and getting anything but a black splodge...

K10D Shutter release inop with A lenses unless in MF mode
The ironic thing is that even when I used standard microprism or spli-image screeens I only ever focused using the plain ground glass area. So either that's what suits my eyes, or alternatively all my shots have been out of focus for years... :wink:

K10D image quality v.s. istD
I have posted a reply on epz as well, but looking at your test shot either there is a problem with your *istD or it was not in focus. I carried out a few comparrison shots when my K10D arrived just before Christmas and the difference between shots taken on the two was no where near that pronounc...

K10D image quality v.s. istD
OK its been a while but I finally got my istD back from repair. It was noted in an earlier post that the difference between the istD and the K10D should not be so vast. Well, they were right. The K10D still makes a better image than the istD, but not by as much as I had demonstrated in my prior p...

Oil Painting
Place the painting flat, put the camera on a tripod and ensure the camera back is parallel to the painting. Also make sure the camera is central. Check that the light is even and there are no reflections. Focus very carefully and use a medium aperture for best quality, say f8 or f11. Check the expos...

Tips and help needed for taking studio portriats
Pete, I think you're misunderstanding something here... There are two types of studio lighting: 1) Flash. These are just great hunking mains powered flash guns. e.g. 2) Continuous Lighting. A bit like a very stable and controllable light bulb. e.g. With either system you then modify...
