Lenses and different mounts
Richard, It's been covered here many times before... :P In general terms, "PK" = "K" = Pentax bayonet mount. And "screw" = "M42". You can mount M42 screw thread lenses with an adapter - but you have to do stop down metering by hand. That is, you open th...

A few images taken in Spain with the K10d
Well I strongly disagree, Pete should be banned from this forum, have his camera confiscated and be permanantly deported to Spain, his pics have got steadilly worse :shock: and he is giving me an inferiority complex :oops: I just got back from Fuerteventura and All I got was some Ruddy Turnstones ...

My First Few Images For 15 Years
In for a pasting? Surely not . . . unless you're PeteKD in disguise :D Nice swan, good detail in most of the feathers except the back, which is a little washed out (over-exposed).

Canon or Nikon?
Canon or Nikon. Which Camera is More "Pro?" This was a Poll from another Forum. It was a Poll given by someone who in my opinion has been profoundly and inexorably brainwashed and as a result I felt compelled to leave the following message: My Heading: Neither...All Of and Anything t...

Canon or Nikon?
Some years ago Magnum made a comment that supports Ben's point. They said that you should be able to give a Magnum photographer nothing more than a rangefinder camera with a 50mm lens and have that photographer come back with a set of prize-winning photographs and the basis of a book and an exhibiti...

B/W images that have some color highlighted in them
another way to skin that cat is to convert your image to b&w in PS and then use the history brush to bring back the color to specific areas

B/W images that have some color highlighted in them
There's a tutorial I did for Elements ages and ages ago that does exactly this kind of thing (with LAYERS though): www.mattmatic.co.uk It's the " ". It's much easier than the history brush as you can save the file as a PSD and come back to it later ;) Works with almost any other tec...

Bubbles
I was out and about on London's South Bank this afternoon (near the Wheel). There was a chap entertaining tourists - and me with my K10D and 16-45 - by making vast soap bubbles. I was very impressed with how the camera managed to focus accurately on something that is so transparent: I pu...

I was very impressed with how the camera managed to focus accurately on something that is so transparent: The cameras AF is locking on to reflected light from the bubbles surface, try shooting through glass in a darkened room, the AF will probably lock onto something beyond the glass, try it agai...

Pentax Photo Gallery
To come back to the original topic, here are some of the images that were rejected: I have no idea of the grounds on which they accept or reject photos. However, the boat shot struck me as a bit random. There was nothing about it that made me look at it, if you'll forgive me. The one of the b...

I had all three of my latest attempts rejected :( Not happy as I thought they were actually nicer than the one they have accepted so far. Any idiot should be able to take a picture of a sunset! Oh well, back to the drawing board...

K10D dust removal system
My advice is Buy a Canon :shock: their focus speed is quicker, they offer longer lens support and a higher frame rate, they also (allegedly) offer less noise at higher ISO, their dust removal system is also supposed to be superior. On the other hand you could buy a Pentax K10D and own one of ...

K10D dust removal system
Ok Guys Here is my pennies worth. I was attracted to the K10 for quite a few reasons one of the main factors was dust removal. This however was because I was new to DSLR and was worried about doing it myself as I did not have a clue. Let me back up what the others are saying that you do sti...

Pentax K10D Image at the "5th Festival of Fashion Photograph
Sorry, that's impossible. Don't you know that you need a 4x5 or bigger negative to print 4x6 metres? :-) G Oh Geez..Your right...I better contact the judges and tell them that they screwed up...S--T, should I tell them or see if I can get away with it? I'll just lie and interpolate the image...

Flash Gun info please
Ok. I didn't know that was how the P-TTL worked. I hadn't noticed the pre flash, so it could be the case. On the other hand, the Chinon normally will fire off three or four times when fully charged before it runs out of energy, I've used it in the past with the power winder on my MEF. I've been...

Which Improvements to the next Generation
In my discussions with Pentax, I voiced some of my observations about the Pentax K10D and what I would like to see. These were rather simple and could be addressed in the next models. Unfortunately some of those suggestions cannot be addressed in Firmware updates. These changes must be implemented t...

DSLR Advice
I've been lurking around for a month or so reading a few bit here and there trying to make my mind up about which camera to get. I'd initially been eyeing up the K100D, as I thought the K10D to be out of my price range but am now unsure about which to get. I've also considered the GX-10 but am un...
