Question for Matt on M/K lens metering
Okay dokay... trying to get this thread back on track.... :P There's definitely a problem, it doesn't look like it's anything to do with the screen, and I very strongly suspect it's fixable in firmware ;) Did a very quick 5 min test with an Expodisc on the FA24-90 and it showed that the stop d...

Question for Matt on M/K lens metering
Chris, If you have nimble fingers you can press the Green Button while still in the OP mode ;) That's how I found the discrepancy between the GB and OP mode. Both were wrong, but the GB was slightly worse when near to the "critical point" where the viewfinder starts flashing. Now ob...

Question for Matt on M/K lens metering
There's another mark next to the central one, one stop further round. I assume that's what it's for. So presumably F8 is really F11 at the long end, etc. That could be it. That second mark might also indicate the offset for IR focus. I'll have a look at mine tomorrow, I'll try and find a lens man...

Question for Matt on M/K lens metering
As long as he meant he was using the eyepiece cover provided and not just shielding with the hand, that's fine. I'm surprised that the 600mm was useable on such a test along with all the other lenses as its minimum focus distance must be huge by comparison. How far away were these lenses from the...

New Senor Technology for Sony, Pentax and Nikon
From what I've read of the new Sony there are some that already are available (or will be very soon): The fiscal year in Japan ends March 31st, that's also why shareholders are informed about new opportunities, markets and products. Sony Japan just announced some exciting news about their DSL...

New Senor Technology for Sony, Pentax and Nikon
Hi, I'm new here. I've been thinking about getting a K10D. I am a video cameraman by trade, but would like a DSLR to keep my practice with composition etc. When I caught this thread I couldn't help but think of a new video camera that is being developed. It is called Red and is being developed...

I need ND Filter Help Please
You need a set of ND (ND2, ND4 & ND8) graduated filters, start by looking here... The P series will give you good use but if your going wide angle you may end up with vignetting in which case you will need to look at the Z or X Pro filters or go for a set of LEE filters (you will need a fat ...

I need ND Filter Help Please
this might be interesting to look at... Terrible HDR image as the first image... :roll: There's plenty of information on good HDR on the ePhotozine forums ;) Exposing correctly for HDR can be a right pain - and you can't easily do it with the camera on the tripod (that's where a quick release pla...

I need ND Filter Help Please
The feature is located on the "Drive mode" button (top left on the back). Use the thumb and finger wheels to move to bracket mode and then choose the number and interval (with the front and back dials) when you're in that mode. Matt, on my K10D that button only controls bracketing. Is th...

Take a reading from both key areas then use manual 'mode' to make both exposures Bit lost on how to take two readings from both areas without moving the camera especially spot metering ?? I need the to keep the frame in exactly the same position. Iīm off out now 6pm to a place in the desert ju...

I need ND Filter Help Please
Mongoose, There appear to be two trains of thought going on here... 1. Use an ND Graduated filter. Metering - use evaluative unless you're feeling adventurous :) 2. Use HDR and combine multiple shots. This is what I was suggesting with the Drive button - you can select 3 or 5 shots that are 2...

1. Use an ND Graduated filter. Metering - use evaluative unless you're feeling adventurous :) I can't speak for the digital solutions but I've certainly used grads quite a bit and would have thought that spot metering would have been the best bet - you need to work out what strength grad you need fo...

Capture One LE licence with SD cards
it didn't mention it on the site when I ordered mine either, which is why I decided to post this thread back then. I don't know for certain that the offer is still on, but it not being mentioned is not necessarily a bad sign. BTW the K10D version is now out and works a treat. I put my copy on my ...

Just Starting Out Again After 15 Years
Hi Welcome to the forum and back to the world of photography. I have no doubt that the many well informed members of this site will put you straight. Me? I am not that well informed but I have absorbed an awful lot since I joined. Good shooting :)

*ist-DS hyperfocal focussing
I was searching some info about hyperfocal distance and such. On this forum there are a few older threads which claim that the Pentax DSLR's normally try to focus at the hyperfocal distance. Is this really the case?

why no images in magazines using Pentax DSLR ???
Pete, The balance of numbers between images from Pentax v Other makes appearing in mags will only come as more people use Pentax gear and send in their efforts. That's not going to happen overnight . . . For heaven's sake don't turn into a techno-geek. Just keep improving your photography skil...

Lenses and different mounts
Hi all - I have recently bought a K10D and I am very confused regarding some of the old lense's available. I have seen - M42, M, K, KA, Screw, PK, PKA etc. Can anyone tell me what types of mount will fit directly onto the K10 and which will fit with an adaptor and if there will be any functional...
