96% coverage in viewfinder...why not a 100%
jospan, I share your feeling "I don't mind if my only post processing is converting RAW to .jpg" It still gives me a great kick when that is all I have to do, instead of copious tinkering at the computer. When one works with them all day, it is nice not to have to go back to them for...

K10d Alternate Lenses
Welcome to the forum! You're unlikely to find anyone who has both lenses and can therefore do a back-to-back comparison. I have the Tamron and I'm happy enough with it, it's not perfect but it's pretty good for the money. If I had the Sigma I'm sure I'd be happy with that as well. I think the ...

K10d Alternate Lenses
Hi, Welcome to the forum. With both lenses you can't go wrong. Exelent value for money. They are both autofocus. A lot of forum members use the tamron. And are very happy about it. The Sigma also has a APO version who is a bit more expensive. About 160 GBP new. The Tamron is about 104 GBP. If yo...

K10d Alternate Lenses
Hi guys First post after just getting my K10d, I am interested in wildlife and motorsport and would like a zoom lense. Having spent all my money on the camera I have a very limited budget. I have been looking at the following Sigma 70-300 F4-5.6 DG Macro Tamron AF 70-300 F4-5.6 DI LD Macro ...

K10D battery
Hmm, I just took my Old Konica Minolta Dimage A2 out of its bag and checked out the batteries. I had bought 2 batteries for it years back: NP-400 @ 1500Mah BP-400 @ 1300Mah The battery that came with my K10 is a: D-LI50 @ 1620Mah And it is shaped exactly like these two old batteries. ...

K10 odd movement
Hi, OK something odd here. Just bought a brand new K10, battery's charging away, but whilst handling the camera (with or without lens attached, it doesn't matter) when I rapidly turn the camera from portrait to landscape position (and back) I can here something inside the camera sliding from one sid...

K10 odd movement
Just as an exercise, to test the competence of the Pentax technical team, I sent off another e-mail to them last night. It read: I think my camera might be faulty. A friend suggested it might be the giggling pin interferring with the flux capacitor. I mounted the camera on some sky hooks, but...

K10 odd movement
they just have a big machine that reads all the incoming e-mails and post back a standard reply. Of course. I said the Pentax support department is run by morons. Actual tech guys are often very good, and I expect they're as frustrated with their lot as we are with ours. It's the people running...

K10 odd movement
This would be understandable if it didn't fall down with the problem people seem to recount with depressing frequency, namely that cameras sent in, come back either unfixed or worse. So enough of the actual tech guys are either too busy, and are being crapped on by their management, or aren't all...

My pin had stuck "up" for the longest time, pretty much since I bought the flash. A little shake and it popped right down. Honestly if I knew how soft the mechanism was I'd probably had take it back right away. Anyway, it recently got stuck inside such that I could not get it down. I...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
Thanks for the answers people. All of them good and Robs from down under was very good. Rob does this mean if you want to go back to shooting just jpeg at 10MP you have to go into the prog. to change it again? I reckon it does. It's not a problem just a chore. CHEERS Vic.

Yep, fortunately I never do, if the shots are worth printing using a 10MP file they are worth post processing from RAW IMO. ...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
Actually, there's a good reason to shoot Raw+JPG. I was talking to this semi-famous photojournalist at my photo club's last meeting (/bragging) and he said he always shot raw+jpg because he trusted his camera enough for the quality of the JPG in case he needed to quickly send them back to Canada wit...

RAW+JPEG WHERE??? HOW???
Lol, yeah I guess I'll admit it's technically possible - but it would require you to somehow reverse engineer your camera's internal code. (Pentax doesn't give it out to anyone, not even to the people who write the raw-conversion software for them) And then you'd have to write code to make the extr...
