Should I buy a K10D now or wait?
I don't think it would ... those lenses are perfected fro the 1.5 crop. There is no evidence for that belief. A 1.3 crop is perfectly feasible. Personally I'd be over the moon if Pentax just but digital backs into old ME Supers! Old ME Supers would not be able to operate modern lenses, and most ...

Should I buy a K10D now or wait?
Old ME Supers would not be able to operate modern lenses, and most modern lenses are much better than almost all lenses from the ME Super era. I can't understand this desire to turn the clock back. G OMG! Modern lenses are better than the ME super era lenses??? Surely you jest? Modern lenses a...

No problem with the "rant" but you both have a point. George is probably right that modern lenses are "better". They have to be because of the resolution requirements of the sensors and the appropriate circle of confusion. Smaller formats generally need higher resolution figur...

Should I buy a K10D now or wait?
Post some shots by all means - there's a section of the forum for that. I depends what you do with the images and that dictates the need for better lenses. If you need images for A3 and bigger prints and for publication in magazines then the better lenses pay dividends. If you only post on the...

K20D?
I read on another forum the probable specs of the probable new Pentax -the K20D. they are: 14MP Pentax designed CMOS APS-H sensor unlikely, since it wouldn't work with DA lenses, and you'd be cropping it to 3:2 most of the time anyway so no real resolution boost over the K10D Faster autofocu...

Curious Questions about the K20D
OK I'm going to stick my head above the parapet and say FPS is irrelevant on the K10D (at least) as it can't focus for toffee. (there...I've said it) If I try and catch that pooch up on the left when he is coming towards me, or any of my kids - just being kids, then I know I can write off all but t...

Pentax 16-50mm availability ??
Not just in stock, but bought and in use by people on this forum (but not me :-( yet) Might be back out of stock if everyone snapped one up. Try Chris at SRS.

Using SR with manual focus A lenses on K10D
Hi all, Maybe a dumb question, but i was wondering........ If i put an mf Pentax A lens on my camera the camera asks me to tell it what focal length it is, so the SR knows what it is dealing with. . If i put on a 50mm 1.7 A, do i have to take in account the crop factor, i.e 75 mm or do i just put...

Just the actual focal length of the lens (ie 50mm in your example). Ignore any crop factor, the camera works that bit out for you. :wink:

Buying from the USA now.
UK PRICES (when i bought) Tamron 18-250 was £350 Pentax 50 1.4 was £200 and Pentax D-LI50 battery was £50 £600 total Whilst I agree that the US prices are generally a lot less than the UK ones, I think what this list shows is the benefit of shopping around in the UK. There's a sticky thread...

Buying from the USA now.
I am not one to spend money when I don't have to and I researched all possible options before making my purchase. All prices quoted are from about 2/3 months ago. The Tamron has come down in price and I have only seen the 50 1.4 at the price for the first time. What's the delivery charge from SRS...

Buying from the USA now.
I have always found it hard to believe that some cars made in this country, then shipped to the USA, then bought over there and shipped back, tax and import duty paid and going through type regulations to make it road legal, still works out cheaper than UK retail pricing. Someone somewhere is ove...

Buying from the USA now.
Just a few thoughts. I would always but a body in this country. The hassle of sending it back would be too much to risk an import even though Pentax do have a world wide warranty. Lenses are a different matter. It is worth checking which method the seller uses. KEH, B&H and Adorama all ten...

There's a thread around somewhere where a bunch of us competed to demonstrate just how silly the magnification can get.

Pentax K20D
[idle_speculation] 14MP? CMOS? On-chip NR? Expanded dynamic range? FULL FRAME!!?? Could this be it: If it is, then it's an update of the sensor used by Kodak in their SLRs of a few years back. Perhaps Pentax/Samsung have been tweaking it to overcome the 3fps max frame rate - ...

I've broken my K10d
I remember reading this somewhere but i can't seem to re-locate the site. But if my memory serves me correctly you need to determine if the screen still lights up or glows when powered on. This tells you if the back light is broken. If it is the the whole LCD screen needs to be replaced and i think ...

I've broken my K10d
Well I'm not at all impressed with Pentax. I telephoned to see if the repair could be carried out in time for Christmas, as the camera works apart from the screen. I was told if I marked it as urgent it would be sorted out. I posted it Special Delivery 10 Dec. They received it 11 Dec. booked onto...

I've broken my K10d
Well, must say I had a very similar experience - well, showewhat. I took my camera to a local shop a while back. In the end it was six weeks and they did not yet send it for repair. (not a Pentax issue, but the service people at this shop) Anyway, they did finally send it off to Pentax on Dec 1...
