Image tone setting on K10D
Hi RG Re your comment: We have too many earthquakes out west to be able to build homes with brick. Speaking from 'across the pond' geographically speaking, that fact is absolutely 'fascinating' ! It had never once occurred to me the reason why so many houses on the West coast are constructed i...

Sigma Lenses
Why not go the whole hog and get the 50-500 It works a treat on my K10D. It may not have such a wide aperture but it it a great lens. Cheers Vic I'm actively looking for one and cannot find one in stock anywhere in the UK or the popular US stores. Waiting on back order :( I did actually get one a ...

I'm actively looking for one and cannot find one in stock anywhere in the UK or the popular US stores. Waiting on back order :( I tried to buy one in June for this year's airshow season, but none seem to have made it to the UK since then (I do keep checking). I'm going to buy a new camera after X...

Sigma Lenses
:lol: Exactly the same phrase I heard from them a while back. To be fair, Sigma UK are possibly unaware of anything Sigma Japan are doing, but yes I suspect we won't see any HSM lenses for a while since SDM lenses on SDM cameras aren't exactly ubiquitous yet. I'd be happy enough if they just b...

Sigma Lenses
stevejcoe, Many thanks for that. Just got off the phone from Microglobe and I should have the lens tomorrow :shock: :D Wow!!!!!!! If it's for real, then this really is excellent news. At risk of stating the obvious, it means Sigma believe that there's money in it for them. We can expect ...

K100 with M lenses
Sorry to raise this one once again. I have a K100D which I have been using with a good old SMC 50mm 1.7 and an Adaptall 90 mm 2.5 macro. The procedure I follow is to set focus to MF and mode to M. Then I select an aperture on the lens, half press and release the shutter then press AE-L. I hear it...

K100 with M lenses
I wonder what happened to poor old debou (the original poster)? I'll bet he is still looking for the green button on his K100D. :P If you're still out there debou, follow the very clear proceedure John Riley gave you and it will work perfectly. That is exactly how I use my Pentax M 100mm F4 Macro...

Shutter release on K10D
It doesn't exist on the Ds either and I have done something very similar Vic. It is annoying, but I have learned (the hard way) to put the card back as soon as I have downoaded the photos.

SRS Microsystems Pentax Pro Centre?
That would definitely be nice... it would be great to have SRS act as a middleman. When I took a body and lens into Pentax UK for service myself, it disappeared for two months (being shipped off to Europe). I only found out what was going on when on the nth time I called Pentax UK I spoke to a gi...

In praise of a proper camera shop...
Mine had a focusing problem which I posted here awhile back if you'd like to read it. But now with the new one in my hands, and after having spent the past month using my old Ist DS, I am reminded what a brilliant camera this is. you'll love it.

some pics of said problem
well done don you found the problem, how the hell do i fix a sticking aperture, and why is it doing it on 2 different lenses. Peter I had this problem with my old Tamron 70-300, which had been on the shelf doing nothing for about seven years. It took me quite a while to work out what the problem wa...

some pics of said problem
In the words of several TV programs "Do not try this at home!" Putting WD40 anywhere near a lens is just about the worst thing you can do. Most of it, like mechanical shutter timers are designed to run "dry". Any lubricant will gum up the works. The focus heix does need grease...

K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
Pentax rebates have been going on for some time now. I got the rebates when I purchased back in July. All Pentax does is keep on re-introducing them. This time they run from Oct 18th 2007 until Jan 31st 2008. They have changed them a bit. One now has to buy the Pentax 50-200mm lens with the camer...

K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
I came back into the photography fold, film to digital, in part, due to the rebate on the Pentax DS, which at the time was £100, in the UK.

K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
stevejcoe. I guess George didn't read my comments. I don't believe there is another place on the planet that has such good deals on a constant basis and offers so many rebates and coupons as in the USA. If you were to see the amount of British tourists in the Las Vegas outlet centers and s...

K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
George. Sorry for the error. Nothing mysterious about minds having senior moments. Most of us old folk have them now and again. You are way off base with the snotty English comment. I was born, raised and educated in the London area. Moved to the USA in 1963. So unless we spoke some African...
