Where to get my *Ist D (and lenses) Serviced/ Setup
doesn't sound as though anything is too seriously wrong, except for the brand of lenses being used! :-) G Cheers George - but I couldn't find the Pentax 24-70 f2.8 for £200 and 70-200 f2.8 for under £600.... I'm confident that it *shouldn't* be a lens issue - in my mind with autofocus the cam...

design
Fair enough, but I really believe someone was in charge of the overall concept - think ipod or motor cars, no one would dispute that Ian Callum designed the new Aston Martins and that team would have an awful lot more people than a camera's (I have to own up here to having a degree in Product Desig...

IMHO cameras are not so much designed, but more evolved, and I for one happen to like the 'black plastic blob'. Consider the main criteria for a human to be able to use a camera for a moment. 1: It needs an interface to the human eye. Adequately provided by the universal viewfinder and its acc...

Where have Samsung gone?
at that price you could have split the kit up and sold it on ebay and probably made better than your money back.

Few I took this am when I eventually got up
Nice pics Roger I like the first bridge picture its busy but keeps you exploring the photo, shame the one house is sloping, i guess thats not your photography but rather the house itself. The photos of the iguana seem a little out of focus, it would have been a good shot other wise, The flower...

Exposure issue with K10D
(P-)TTL flash probems are often (in my experience) caused by reflections. The same could happen with water. A slight gust of wind could cause ripples that reflect extra light back to the camera and radically change the exposure. Shooting RAW helps, as does bracketing. G

K10D dust removal - does it work?
I had some dust, but got the sensor to do a couple of extra cleaning cycles and that sorted it. If the stick pad that holds the dust is at the bottom of the camera you probably need to hold the camera level when you do it, or the dust will fall onto the back of the lens (if the camera is benig held...

My first Problem with the K10D DUST !! please read
I always have dust. Lots of it. On the *ist-D I had platefuls of it and even with careful cleaning it seemed to creep back in. Having seen Keith Henson's CCD (ephotozine user "keithh") on his Canon 1DsMkII I don't worry so much - his was the dustiest sensor I've ever seen :P Just takes ...

I don't know how good you are in electronics True, you don't. I know my electronics ;) I shalln't bore you with the projects I've worked on, but believe me... e.g. http://focus.ti.com/docs/pr/pressrelease.jhtml?prelId=sc05240 I based my assumptions on: 1. The fact that 22 bit ADC are not a prob...

Cheers for the positive comments guys! :D The bottom one was pure luck in the positioning of the sun - if you check out the full size image via the link I posted I got a lovely starburst effect of the sun between the towers of Westminster Abbey - doesn't show up so well in the small image! A...

Loving Silkypix and the K10D but finding that I'm dialing the exposure of RAW's back to anywhere between minus 1/3 to 1 1/2 stops on a lot of the shots I'm playing with. Is anyone else finding the same thing? Will I'm finding the other way - having to give +1/3 to +1 stop And yes Silkypix is wor...

Is anyone else finding the same thing? I think it depends on the kind of shot. Don't forget as well, that white balance and colour profile will have an effect on the histogram as well as exposure ;) I'm finding that I often have to increase exposure by up to 1 stop - but again that could be down ...

Hi Will, Wikipedia has an article: It's not just digital - it's primarily down to the lens where different wavelengths (ie colours) of light bend at different rates within the lens. It's often most visible when you have backlighting - but it's always there and if your lens suffers from CA, ...

Pentax Ist DL2 Focusing screen dust
I'm afraid this is quite common with the Penta-mirror cameras. I can live with specks of dust but I just couldn't bear what looked like an eyelash in my DL. It was much smaller than the average eyelash but it was so distracting that I had to get rid of it. The focusing screen can be removed by r...

Pentax Ist DL2 Focusing screen dust
Many thanks for your detailed reply. Having had a an MX with an interchangeable screen, even when they are designed for easy removal I completely agree with your cautions. Has anyone any experience of the Green clean sensor cleaning kit? Not at this stage in respect of cleaning the actual sensor,...

lens hoods
Going back to the original query and answers at the start of this thread, about the removable section of the lens hood, I wonder how many other users like me have lost that piece? It's an innovative idea, so you can rotate your polariser, but not so clever if the section can be accidentally knock...

k10d dust trap
There are lots of previous threads on this subject already. As for replacing the pads, that's a bit premature, the cameras are only just out of the boxes! I've no doubt that the camps will be split between those who say send it back to a repair house for a proper job to be done and others who will b...
