Cheapy focusing screen
I bought one from ebay, but not sure if this is the same seller. Mine also had the tab on it and it was easy to replace, although I did get a couple of dust specks underneath which eventually came out using a blower. It works great and I am very happy with it. Focusing is a doddle with manual lenses...

Cheapy focusing screen
I bought a similar one. It's fine, except:-- 1. The size of the split image + microprism is rather large and distracting in general. I don't remember the one in my P30 being so large - though my memory could be playing tricks. 2. Half of the split image goes black when a slower lens is use...

K10d and older lenses
I currently have a Pentax Z-70 and am now intending to go digtal with a Pentax K10D. I have various lenses and wonder if they will work with a new digital camera. The two I use most are a Pentax 28-70 auto focus that came with the Z 70 and a Tokina AT-X 80 - 400 auto focus. I was hoping I only n...

Firmware
Would I be correct in thinking that, if I do the 1.3 install, it will include all the improvements and bug fixes covered by the previous firmware upgrades, i.e remote flash and more comprehensive configuration of e-dials, etc? Yes. In terms of the actual feature set, the upgrades are cumulative, th...

Firmware
Just to let you know, and those who are contemplating it in the near future, that I am now running version 1.30. All that fretting and sweating wasn't justified (visions of a failed upgrade and a dead camera!). The only disconcerting thing was the read/write LED flashing continuously after the "...

Using the Histogram - Luminosity & RGB
had a situation yesterday. it made me laugh, I was at a photo store, trying out the 50-135 f2.8. Gerri fires a shot with the k10 and comes up with this weird screen, with a bunch of little rectangles, on black... neither she nor the clerk could figure it out... I get handed this camera and at fi...

Question about macro lenses
At closer distances the macro lens might show higher resolution and sharpness and certainly a flatter field. For portraits this could actually be undesireable as it might not be flattering enough! Both will give you the ability to tackle portraiture and depending on the lens you might add a soft ...

Pentax K100 - Autofocus not working
Hi and welcome to the forum. First, check that focus confirmation sound is turned on in custom settings. Do you get the focus confirmation beep when focussing manually? You should hear it. Do you get the focus confirmation hexagon in the viewfinder? You should see it. Have you checked th...

DL2/DS2 support and apple aperture?!
that worked. now that I got that, I'm gonna go back to my automator files and add that script in somewhere. Would you be interested in some quid pro quo, when I get it done?

GX10 with K10D firmware?
Does this not apply to the GX10? I doubt it very, very much. Normally, to bring down costs, manufacturers will use a flash chip that can just hold the firmware. Providing a dual-firmware boot option is expensive to develop and requires at least twice as much flash storage space (I've developed &quo...

Sorry, but I just had to announce to the world that I now own my own K10D!! Through much nagging, got my other half (Unlocker) to get the K10D Grand Prix Edition (with a little cash from me to help) - so I now have his K10D!! :o :o :o Been having a play over the last few days (including my ...

I now have my own K10D!!!
I dunno how this happened! Been saving up and been winning on online poker over xmas / new year to fuel my LBA, and was due to come back from SRS with a Sigma 10-20mm and a 50mm 1.4. Somehow I have now lost my K10D and have a Grand Prix K10D! You sure do owe me some glass girl!

Website revamped again
Pete, That sliding menu system just doesn't work very well. If you move the mouse to the right, over landscape pics, then back to natural pics, it slides another menu under the mouse cursor, then moves to that one. Irritating in the extreme. Pics look good though. Cheers,

K100D optical preview
Just had my K100D a week and delighted with it, however I can't seem to get either the optical or digital preview to function. The book said you can select either, which I did from the menu, opting for optical preview, but when I rotate the shutter release collar having half pressed to focus, the op...

K100D optical preview
Ok folks, thanks for that. As I was beginning to suspect, I have set the camera correctly - apperture permitted, Manual setting, Manual focus and still the optical preview does not work, although the meter does function correctly with the AE switch activated. So I guess there must be a fault with m...

K100D optical preview
I wouldn't live with it if it's faulty after such a short time. Take it back to the shop and don't leave until it has been replaced.
