k10d dust trap
... I'm assuming the sticky stuff that traps the dust will lose it's 'stickyness' over time. how does one replace it? I to was thinking the same thing i presume it would have to go back to the manufacturer. Its a very interesting point that maybe pentax can answer. It obviousley something that will...

Swans in the snow Pic took today
for the comments i have cropped the same pic below. Problem being by re saving the image from a jpeg to a jpeg the quality suffers a little, however for web viewing its ok. I always try to take an image which no need to crop. It's not easy but if you take it you have maximum of resolution at the end...

K10D wide angle lenses
Mongoose, I think you need to quantify how many is 'a lot' in your comment on people who received friday afternoon models'. I am struggling to find a negative comment on it so I think it is far from the 50/50 your wording would suggest. There was a magazine article a few months back where they...

K10D wide angle lenses
Just to add another little twist... The 12-24 is a very, very fine lens. But, dare I say it, the 16-45 is probably more usable. Compared to the 18-55 it is certainly better, if only fractionally wide. However, it has a certain "quality" that I can't get from the 12-24 - it may be bec...

K10D wide angle lenses
Got to say that I've been a big Sigma EX user for the last 6 or 7 years (as I couldn't afford the FA* lenses) and have 12-24 EX, 24-70 f2.8 EX, 17-35 f2.8 EX, 28-70 f2.8 EX, 105 Macro EX and 70-200 f2.8 EX. The only issue that I have had is with the 24-70 which had a problem with the focussing g...

Stupid K10D battery prices
It may be worth pointing out that the battery on offer from the morrisphoto link was also listed as 1500mAh and it is supposed to be a Pentax battery, either morrisphot have got it wrong or Pentax are offering the battery in two "sizes" At the moment i'm with lenscape, I'll manage with ...

Stupid K10D battery prices
I decided to play 'safe' and buy my spare from Morris Photo, which I can confirm is a Pentax battery and came sealed in a Pentax Box. The £49.99 hurt but agree with other members, dont spoil the ship when she's sailing well Lilly, is it a 1500mAh battery? or the same as the one supplied with the ...

Stupid K10D battery prices
I had to manage without my laptop battery for a while because the original Apple battery was one of the exploding variety made by Sony a bit back. Surely what matters is not the name on the label, not even the name of the manufacturer, but the standard of materials and the quality control in the ...

K10D Compatible Lenses
When I sold my Super-A, I made the stupid mistake of selling along with it, a set of zoom lenses, auto extension tubes and a 2x tele-converter. I had the idea at the time that if it wasn't auto-focus then it was no longer of any use. I regret that now and am quite keen to extend my range of lens...

K10D Compatible Lenses
Almost all Pentax lenses, screw fit or bayonet fit, are compatible. The screw thread (with Adapter K), K series and M series lenses have no A setting on the aperture rings so are used in stop down mode, having activated the appropriate custom function that enables use of the aperture ring. The...

EXIF Info Absenteeism
I was out yesterday shooting planes in and around Seattle with K10D and a couple of lenses (DA 16-45mm and FA 80-320mm). Most were on continuous focus, and I leave the camera on continuous frame drive mode. Recorded format was PEF. When I check the images with the card in the camera, the informat...

K100D or DS2
Henry's is in Toronto, a couple hours and to be honest, since I moved out of the city I avoid going south of Barrie if I can. I had a chance to play with the K100 a little from the local photo store and snapped some photo's but all just using the automatic setting. Living in a small town I usual...

K100D or DS2
Brian, I didn't read the review on dpreview but ALL the magazine reviews I have read gave it excellent marks and praised the shake reduction, viewfinder, and better exposures, etc. Don, The viewfinder was the only thing that bothered me when I was contemplating the trade. When Henry's said ...

K100D or DS2
Well if the market we serve were asking for more huge enlargements, that'd be one thing...but people have been happy with the "package". The exposure probs with the manual lenses on the d10 (( 50mm 1.4 and 85mm soft focus) which coincidentally are the ones I'd want to use most often in low...

K100D or DS2
Ordered the camera (K100) with standard kit lens. Decided to get the 40mm pancake lens as well but have yet to find it in stock anywhere that isn't charging too much for it. I find this frustrating. I don't mind if it's back ordered but any place I've spoken with won't even do that as they tell ...

K100D or DS2
Hi Daniel, I found a great place here in Canada where I was able to order the pancake from. I paid about $220CAD plus taxes for it (14%). They have retail stores but also have an ebay side where there prices are far less. I sent an messaged them an inquiry and they emailed back with a toll free n...

Issue regarding sharpness with the K10D
I was a bit disappointed with the sharpness of the K20D. I managed to tweak it up a bit through the camera settings, and had to work with my lenses to get the best lenses for the job. I would have rather had a camera which produced sharp images and if you wanted softer ones you would then tweak the ...
