Battery and lens questions about my new K100D
Hi Everyone, I've just purchased a new K100D, after hours of searching and comparing. My friends all said get a Canon, but my heart said Pentax. I went for the K100D for two reasons - the shake reduction and the kit lens, which I've read several times (I haven't taken delivery yet to confirm...

I was thinking (K10D)
I am looking to get a couple of K10Ds and the DA* 16-50 and 50-135 within the next few months (hopefully before September, depends how long Pentax takes to release the lenses). Regarding the battery grip, it is my understanding that the battery grip comes with no battery, would this be correct? ...

K10D Progress
Now we've shot arounf 800 or more images each on our new cameras we're pretty much up to speed with getting the best out of them. Still quite happy to shoot JPEG, best quality of course, and happy with the exposure system as well. It has worked well in difficult conditions as well as good ones. I...

K10D Progress
For me, it's been a tale of liking a few things I never thought I'd get on with and working around some of the others. Firstly, I never thought how much extra control I'd get by shooting RAW but now would never think about shooting jpegs. Much of this, of course, is down to the conversion softwar...

More Pentax pro penetration of photograpers
Coming back to the OP :shock: - I've just read this link which is another sign of things looking up. My other passion is windsurfing so I know of the photographer Erik Aeder's work very well - having looked myself years ago, trying to find this kind of kit to fit a Pentax was next to impossible......

Sorry don't get that one Chris ?? Pete, Pete, Pete... I know you've read the debates on here about in-camera versus in-software sharpening. You've even done a moderately amusing wind-up based on that very debate. So how can you _possibly_ not get that one? :shock: PS... not sure doggie is...

Before we can say, you'd better let us know exactly what it is. There are 6 variants of this lens. K, M type 1, M type 2, A, F, & FA. Which do you have ? Actually, there a seven versions if you count the FA* 80-200mm but if you got one of those for £20 . . . :evil: :evil: :evil: EDIT: Oo...
