K10 eyepiece.
I use O-ME53 with no problems, as a glasses wearer I do have to move the eye about a bit more to see the view finder display info (f stop, shutter speed etc). However a very big plus point is, that it projects back further than standard eyepeice and hence keeps the lcd panel nose print free. :lo...

K10 eyepiece.
The only time I got excited, when looking at the back of my k10, was while reviewing some images of models I shot at a Nygard event some months back...... They were some nice shots of very pretty girls. That's girls, not "Birdies", and not the back end of a camera.... javascript:emotico...

Remote control
is it really that easy to use? Yes! :) The receiver/cable release just plugs into the camera and can be used as a 1m cable release. Push the switch on the receiver to the W position and use the sender unit to fire the camera. The sender has two buttons, one to control the focus and one to fire the...

ist or K100D
No-one has mentioned the *ist DL. How does that compare? I ask because that's what I bought. From what I recall, the major difference between the DS and the DL was the viewfinder; the former came with a pentaprism, the latter with a pentamirror. I think they also differed in the number of focu...

Pop Up Flash
Built-in flash should only be considered as a fall-back device when you need to get a picture in a hurry or when you are just doing snap-shots. Note that most pro cameras do not even have them. Frontal lighting is very clinical and uninteresting and the size of the light source is comparatively t...

istDS Battery discharging
I wonder if my routine will help you out a bit? I buy my batteries, date them with a sharpie pen, and mark them in sets of four. I rotate the sets between various devices (I have several flash units that get used more often than my ds2). So when I have one device is use often (my ringflash) and it...

Dioptre adjustment and manual focus
I've just discovered something that has made my manual focusing a lot quicker, so I thought I'd share it. I'm lucky enough to have good uncorrected eyesight, and looking through the viewfinder, everything in focus has always looked good and sharp. However, I was idly playing about with the cam...

Dioptre adjustment and manual focus
Greetings all, Page 60 of the K10D manual describes the procedure for setting the dioptre adjustment. As a variation to this, I did it by taking the lens off and then pointing the camera at the sky. I found it a bit distracting doing it with the lens attached as the cloud detail was catching m...

Dioptre adjustment and manual focus
I would think that everybody would benefit from correct diopter adjustment. As another eyeglass wearer, I found that the diopter adjustment on my K100D has enough range to compensate for my glasses. So I adjusted the diopter to provide a sharp rectangle in the viewfinder without glasses. I kno...

Dioptre adjustment and manual focus
I would think that everybody would benefit from correct diopter adjustment. I can't speak for people with glasses, of course, although I struggle to take pictures with sunglasses on. My situation was that I thought that my VF was already adjusted correctly - because everything was perfectly sharp...

Dioptre adjustment and manual focus
It's a very good point. Users of old cameras with no dioptre adjustment (or diopter if you prefer!) can buy adjustment lenses for the viewfinder. Alternatively, glasses wearers who use reading glasses may find that these are ideal for viewing through older SLRs. The focusing screen has an opti...

Full frame DSLR ?
So IF Samsung brought out a FF camera and Pentax held back would the Samsung still be Pentax mount? Can't see Pentax sitting back and watching that.

Full frame DSLR ?
What all the 135 format lovers forget (135 format is the correct description for the format commonly known as 35mm. or "full-frame") is that Pentax has discontinued production of almost all 135 format lenses, and it would be wholly uneconomical for it to resuscitate them. Those lenses w...

Bargain Samsung GX-10
I tried Nottingham and was told Oxford Street had them at £249! But Oxfors Street checked the back room and there were none left. In desperation I have my daughter enquiring at Nottingham in person as it comes up as a deleted item and doesn't show accurate if any stock.. Thanks for the tip!...

Something growing dim
Hi all, I'm still having trouble getting fine focus with my Pentax manual lenses on the K10D, pictures not always as sharp as I would like, sort of bit hit and miss as to when, oh the joys of getting older. :lol: I’ve been to the optician and yes, new glasses on the way, (had been 4 years sinc...

No others that I know off. Don't go the cheap china route (on evil bay) Beattie doesn't make them for the K10D. ( not that I know off, that is.) If manual focus is your thing. Go for the katzeye. After a slight sting in your wallet :lol: , you won't regret it. :wink: Martin.

Remember to get protection out there boys and girls!
His Sig should be changed in: Pentax K10D with a VERY dirty focus screen and a broken LCD screen. As you said spider: He probably did it himself and thereby justifying the purchase of a new shiny K20D. :twisted: I hope the Misses doesn't fall for it. :lol: :lol: :lol: Martin.
