K10D let me down badly!
Re trouble with K10D: (a) I do have an English camera book: it's the one about the SOFTWARE that's all in French. (b) I DID read about 'formatting' so I followed the instructions and it didn't seem to need it. (c) I did not nudge the Delete button. The Menu comes up OK but when I took a shot no imag...

K10D let me down badly!
Peter brought the camera along to see me today, and there is a serious problem with it. First off, I tried it with the kit lens and got just plain black images - the histogram shows a peak at the far left-hand side. I thought it might be a lens problem (perhaps closing right down instead of us...

K10D let me down badly!
Continuing the 'Saga': went to Jessops Chelmsford today; had written out all the faults found; the girl there seemed to struggle a bit to get the camera switched on; yes, the LCD was empty of data, so she put in a battery from the showcase K10D and it came up,then put back MY battery and it worked, ...

You are asking for comments from quite a small group of photographers. The people that post here are all Pentax users and they each have their own photographic interests. 10% might like a particular picture, 50% might hate it, and the rest don't care. Take your own pictures, if you like them, p...

....As for the pics you posted, 1. A bit dull, needs a lift and cropping. Don't like the borders. 2. Too much trees, needs more contrast, don't like the borders. 3. Don't like it at all. Harsh, I know. I'll post a couple so you can get your own back. WOW! Some desciption there!. Do y...

Just one point Drew regarding the waterfall image of mine. You have edited out the stems which have now gone but i thought they added 3D to the image and also depth of field. Also think it to contrasty now, But Hah what do i know :wink: Pete Yes, what do you know? It was Galloot that took the l...

As far as posting comments about other peoples pictures, or indeed having comments passed about my own, I would say the following... If an image does nothing for me, I tend not to comment on it. I mean, if it neither pleases or displeases. Usually, that depends on whether the subject matter app...

Well, as someone who's just climbed aboard the forum with his new K10D all I can say Pete, is that I must have precious little photographic talent, as I would been pleased if those shots were mine. However, I do have to say I think #1 does look better with the foreground grass removed! But........

K10D Battery Grip 2
I bought a D-BG2 from a reputable EBAY dealer in New York just after Christmas. I tried ordering from UK dealers first but lost patience with the "don't know when we can get one" attitude and the extortionate prices. Shipping costs from USA were about £22. Import costs were £29.10 an...

K-mount lenses with K10D
To add mustard to the sauce so to speak concernng manual focus lenses and DSLRs, I have just bought a K10D and would like to use one K-mount manual focus lens (SMC 135 mm). Setting the aperture in M mode doesn't seem to work (the F -- blinks) and I wonder if someone could suggest how, if at all, thi...

K-mount lenses with K10D
What exposure mode are you using? I believe that K and M lenses don't support matrix metering. Is the light constant between exposure reading and taking the picture? Is the subject one that might cause exposure problems? Water, snow, strong back-lighting etc.? Have you done a side by side...

K-mount lenses with K10D
What exposure mode are you using? I believe that K and M lenses don't support matrix metering. I've tried spot and centre-weighted as well. Is the light constant between exposure reading and taking the picture? Well the picture was taken less than a couple of seconds after the exposure reading...

21mm Limited Back Focus Issue
Just got the response from Pentax via their head office in Germany. They confirmed that there is a back focussing problem with the 21mm Limited exclusively. They offered to set up one of my bodies to work in conjunction with the lens, which I refused. I do not wish to take up one body exclusively...

21mm Limited Back Focus Issue
Interesting stuff Ben. Out of interest, have you tried the SMC-FA 50/f1.4 yet? Maybe a little on the long side for your uses, but it's a lens that never disappoints me with beautiful bokeh and stunning sharpness. I'd be most interested in knowing how the new 16-50 compares against both the 16-45 ...
