Leaning pic's with the K10D
I think we have been waiting for someone to report back, but nobody has. All I can suggest is that if you have a camera fault then it should be returned for repair under warranty. I received my K10D back from warranty service for the second time yesterday, in this instance it had been sent to Japan ...

Leaning pic's with the K10D
I'm not impressed either, Rob. Thanks for reporting back - I'm still following this topic here and elsewhere.

Leaning pic's with the K10D
After looking at all my sunset pictures I performed a more accurate test and found my camera does lean as well. I bought my camera of ebay and the guarantee is with the seller. They have agreed to just take the camera back and give me a knew one. I hope the know one will not have the same pro...

Leaning pic's with the K10D
I just received a new camera from my supplier on ebay. The firmware is version 1.00 and the new camera also has a lean. It is quite frustrating. Sending the camera back cost me and I don't want to send it back again being so close to Christmas. I guess I will have to ask for another one afte...

Leaning pic's with the K10D
it doesn't matter where the fault lay. the important thing is to make the most of a bad situation. I heard there is a leaning tower of pizza somewhere that needs to be straightened up.... so go photograph that, and I'm sure everything will come out level. Bring me back some of that pizza ok?

Cheap K10 or not??
I have been offered a K10 with a pentax 18-55 kit lens and a sigma 100-300 (cheapy lens) for about 350quid. I currently have the K100D and i have been very happy with it but those extra pixels (among other features) sure are tempting. The K10 only has about 1500 shots taken with it so its almost new...

Cheap K10 or not??
The K10D is quite simply the best camera you can get. Even if you pay £5,000 for a full-frame Canon, you won't get shake reduction on every lens. All you'll get is a bad back and an overdraft. But if you don't do much photography, the K100D might be sufficent for you. Only you can say. G

ist DS focusing screens
A number of people have said that if you swap the K10D focus screen for one from a *istDS then the metering issues with M series lenses go away. This sounds great and I would dearly love to do it as I have a number of M series and equivalent lenses which I have neither the money nor the inclinati...

Photographing magazines
I've done a fair bit of this sort of work and once it's set up it's not too much of a chore. Basically, the magazine page needs to be flat on a level surface and the camera back parallel to it. I achieve this by placing the lenshood flat against the page and then raising the tripod column so it stay...

K10D Body Only Case
Hello all first post from a long time lurker. Currently shooting with a K10D, DA* 50-135 & Sigma 17-70 as my main lenses. But in Pentax terms I go back to the good old Super A. I've been looking at after market cases for just the K10D body, I have got suitable lens protection, but I have ...

[poll] Did/Do you notice leaning images with your K10D?
If it is the focusing screen, the fact that everyone seems to get the same direction of lean would tend to indicate a systematic problem rather than a random (just not quite aligned) problem. For instance (and I've no evidence that this is true) - you could imagine that the act of tightening the cat...

[poll] Did/Do you notice leaning images with your K10D?
If we were talking about a CD player or a TV that had some problem, the first recourse would be to take the 'faulty' item back to the place from where it was purchased, or to its manufacturer. The same is true of cameras but their is a natural reluctance to commit our beloved tools to a repair/re...

[poll] Did/Do you notice leaning images with your K10D?
I have noticed the focussing screen in my camera is not very secure, my dog bounced on me a while ago while I was putting the camera away and the screen came loose. it is designed to be replaced/cleaned though and when I've done this I've put it back in slightly misaligned. I think the tolerance...

[poll] Did/Do you notice leaning images with your K10D?
If someone lives close to a Pentax service center and has the problem it would be a good idea to try to make an appointment with a service technician so you explain and demonstrate the problem. Explaining this to the shop in which you bought the camera is useless most of the time because most sale...

If it would please some members of the forum I could upload some test shots with clear results on a tripod with 2 second self timer? Give me a few minutes and I should have some for you. PS. You misinterpreted what I typed regards rebadging. No need to get uppety! Of course the Samsung is a...

[poll] Did/Do you notice leaning images with your K10D?
The degree of misallignment is quite astonishing really. Yes it is, how long have you had the camera? Tested my K10D today (having already voted with a 'no' in the poll, because I was sure I would have noticed if there was a problem), and it's fine, absolutely straight. If mine leaned as much as...

I'm sure I've been accused of many things before now, but blanket condescension is definitely a new one... :? It's really time for any camera that may have a fault to be retuned to Pentax for examination, otherwise we just go round in circles adding speculation to speculation. I'm sure if I h...

It's really time for any camera that may have a fault to be retuned to Pentax for examination, otherwise we just go round in circles adding speculation to speculation. I'm sure if I had a faulty camera I would send it back for repair or replacement. It won't get better on its own. Indeed, that's ...

K10 - Switching off auto bracketing :-(
Hi, I wonder if anyone can help. I've been trying out the auto bracketing, but cannot get it to switch off. The LCD screen says it is off after following the instructions as per the manual, but I still get 3 frames every time I take a pic. Any ideas? thanks, peter Removing the battery for ...

M42 Adapter, help!
George is almost certainly correct on this. I'm not familiar with the Kood version but it cant be too different from the genuine Pentax article. M42 lenses dont have microprocessors built in and dont have the the necessary electronic contacts so no communication between body and lens, they also have...
