Lesson learned
As I understand things if something goes wrong with anything within what could be expected the reasonable working life of an item, you are entitled to a repair, or replacement if a repair is not satisfactory. You are not bound to send it to the manufacturer, but can elect to send it to any competent...

Lesson learned
Problems over. I took the other items that were bought with the DL2 back to Jessops and their Leicester HQ have refunded me the full amount. Jessops have been brilliant which is not how I can describe Pentax. Now a warning in case you see a Pentax DL2 serial number 2062143 on sale as a refurbished i...

Hi all, k100d problem
Hi i have had my k100d a few weeks but have noticed some fluff/dust/fibre on the upside of the focus screen. is there a way to clean that as a rocket blower isnt getting up there. also as im new to DSLR, what is all this about changing the focus screen so you can get better manual focus ? a...

Hi all, k100d problem
Same thing happened with my istD but in the first two days. Argh! Nothing would clean that out. (didn't know the screen was removable at the time). You'll probably have to remove the focus screen to clean it. But since you're looking to replace that anyway, kill two birds with one stone. From...

New lens, first picture (sigma 180mm Macro)
There's a horrible hole burnt into my pocket now. Just recently got a Sigma 180mm EX DG Macro lens and this is the first photo taken with it: GX10, Sigma 180mm, 1/180, F19, 100 ISO, Flash, slight amount of cropping I think the bee (on its back) could be better in focus, but for the first...

Editing Shots
Hi Peter I used the 50-200 Samsung lens and the kit 18-50mm I think the shots in the church were the 50-200mm as I was quite a way back. I also took quite a few others with the 50-200mm also. As I said the image quality on the web is very very poor compared to my PC full res shots and some of ...

My 2nd Wedding shots
Pete, I had a look at the shots when they were first up and wrote my comments then. Just to repeat it: Nice collection. If you're not very careful you will start enjoying shooting weddings... I guess there are just too many shots to get into c&c (and it's hard to keep track on the numbers...

Brunette in the Woods / Critiques Please
You mean . Curious title, "Hiking Girl". She doesn't look dressed for hiking, not an anorak in sight :). There are certainly a lot to look through . . . One observation . . . her eyes. Few (if any) of your pics show her eyes in focus. The last shot above for instance, has only o...

Brunette in the Woods / Critiques Please
I would love the second and last of those above if the eyes were in focus. When you're playing with the 50 1.4 your DOF is razor thin and it's very possible to have part of the face in focus and part out. The eyes are the most important bit, if the eyes are good almost everything else is forgiveable...

Brunette in the Woods / Critiques Please
in addition to the good suggestions on sharp eyes...on number 2, the sides of a ladies hand will always look better than the back of her hand....on the 3rd from last, and last image...I'd prefer to see no burnt highlights...(cheek on one hip on the other). either by metering to maintain detail in t...

Brunette in the Woods / Critiques Please
Just tell me which woods you found her in ......... :D :D :D Seriously tho' some very nice imaginitive shots in there, loved the second shot though I would have liked to see the hand in focus as well. portraiture is not my thing but I can see where you were coming from.

Brunette in the Woods / Critiques Please
Some nice shots there but I'd agree with the comments about being careful with your focus point as most portraits are ruined if the subjects eyes aren't in sharp focus.

Hi all im just starting to get into macro and was wondering if there are any good af/mf macro lenses for a budget. i have the raynox dcr250 and have realised its good but the lens can only focus a small area but sometimes i want the whole area in focus if you know what i mean. im using the ...

Macro lens
but the lens can only focus a small area but sometimes i want the whole area in focus if you know what i mean. This won't change even with a "proper" macro lens. Close up, the depth of field is extremely shallow, and you have to maximise it with very small apertures and correspondingl...

New K10D owner just saying "hi" (NOW WITH PHOTOS!)
OK folks, please be gentle! :) Here goes, the best 4 from the first outing of my shiny new K10D and Sigma 50mm macro. I know that in a couple of them the point of focus is a little off, but I've barely skimmed the camera manual so far, and as things go I'm fairly happy with these ones. I'll fil...

New K10D owner just saying "hi" (NOW WITH PHOTOS!)
Lovely macro shots, trying to get pollen is fun :) I have the 50mm sigma macro lens too and it's great fun to use. I like the red rose pic - as you say just slightly off on the point of focus, but I like the lighting and composition.

My new revamped website NOW WORKING
I went back for a quick look but I have to say I find the music rather naff and I hate that photoplayer thing. Give me a decent thumbnail gallery (like pbase) without music anytime. It did look like there were decent photos in there, but the way the site is put together didn't make we want to stay t...

How much data is hiddenin RAW??
Highlights on the K10 seem to clip very suddenly. As with high def video I always protect the highlights and then with Raw the K10 is superb for bringing out details in the shadows. Or so I have found so far. Yeah, it is the opposite when I shoot with the S20. I have to get the shadow details and...
