Auto focus making people lazy?
You know what'd be cool? A seperate column, called the "Boxing Ring and Flame Throwing Arena" That way those who obviously enjoy heated debates, can open a new thread, and carry on, without hijacking, what usually starts off as an interesting topic.... (I know, I know, I'm as guilty as some and...

K10d underexposure
I have mine set on -1 all the time as I mainly use manual focus lenses with the A setting in AV mode and the K10D seems to over expose considerably with those past wide open.

I have mine set on -1 all the time as I mainly use manual focus lenses with the A setting in AV mode and the K10D seems to over expose considerably with those past wide open. I've noticed that recently, it's never been a problem with my Pentax A series lenses (although I only have one), but it seems...

Woohoo!!!!!
Gwyn, enjoy the treat. You will get used to it very quickly. I made the jump from my trusty *istD to the K20D in April. Haven't really looked back, the *istD is now serving as a back-up but I haven't used it since. Good light, Prieni

Woohoo!!!!!
I sent an e-mail to my brother this morning warning him to expect a package from SRS and the reply came back "Oh you means the parcel that arrived this morning for you!" Fantastic service, especially as I didn't place my order until nearly 3pm BST yesterday. Can't wait until Monday when I get my h...

Woohoo!!!!!
I'm off to the UK tomorrow morning so I'll let you know my first impressions on the lens when I get back - Friday if I can, otherwise Saturday. Hope you can wait that long and that LBA doesn't strike in the mean time!

K10d and automatic ISO change criterion
1) If you want a minimum speed use Tv mode. In that mode you set the shutterspeed. 2)In general you can shots iso through the fn menu. Push the fn button to enter it. 3) In the custom settings menu you can change the two handle in each to suit you. Eg I have Iso on the back and apperture on th...

K10d and automatic ISO change criterion
I use Av mode with Auto ISO. However, I have programmed the front wheel to be ISO - rotating the finger wheel will fix the ISO, and pressing the green will set it back to Auto. In that mode the viewfinder shows Av, Tv, and ISO :D Takes a little getting used to (reading three values at once) but...

Think of your 31mm Limited fund Hefty, you don't want to eat into it! You're right, the 31 must come first and I'm only about a hundred short of target now (birthdays have caused it to slip back a couple of times) :wink:

K20D - Lens focus adjustment
Does anybody here have a K20D and a number of non-Pentax AF lenses? I have only Pentax and Sigma lenses. I'm interested to know if the focus adjustment for non-Pentax lenses is stored on a per lens basis. I ask because I regularly use my Sigma 70-300mm APO, 135-400mm APO, and 180mm EX DG Macro...

K20D - Lens focus adjustment
Because Sigma lenses are reverse-engineered (Sigma don't pay the required royalties to Pentax to get the technical info) then communication between new Pentax bodies and older Sigma lenses cannot be guaranteed. Sometimes Sigma re-chip lenses to update them.

K20D - Lens focus adjustment
The chip used by Sigma in it's lens seems to be kind of generic. I have two Sigma lenses that are recognized as the same, and a third one is not that gives only f-stop and focal length in the EXIF.

K20D - Lens focus adjustment
Thanks for your replies. I was rather hoping that some K20D owners might have a similar kit list and have gone through the focus adjustments on a per lens basis. Maybe I'll have to be the first then :D Now where did I put Chris's phone number . . .

K20D - Lens focus adjustment
If you look at your pictures EXIF, you'll know if the camera recognizes the lens. If it does, the lens name will appear. If it doesn't recognizes the lens, only the focal length will show. If the lattaer is the case, it will apply the correction you put in for that lens to any other lens that wil...

K20D - Lens focus adjustment
Looking at the EXIF data of an image taken with the 180mm EX DG IF Macro using PhotoMe, I get:- Lens ID 3 + 0 + 0 Pentax Lens Type - F, FA or DA Lens Names (of the ID) - Sigma (Model Unknown) So I guess the K20D is not going to solve my problem where the Sigma lenses are concerned, only the Pe...

ok BUTTON ON k10d
I expect that I should be able to get this from the manual but I can't find it. I use the multiple focus areas so I can have it AF to the right say rather than the centre. I can do that fine but on my K100D I could press the OK button and it would instantly revert to centre point - can you do the...
