Pentax DSLR Cashback Deals...
Give it a week or two,(after they are in the shops) and the price of the K-M will drop. It is aimed at new to DSLR's users, so the price needs to tempt them:D Mick Tooks, you thinking of coming back to Pentax?:lol::lol::lol:

Pentax DSLR Cashback Deals...
I ordered my K20d last week - with the 16-45mm lense for £699 (but still not arrived yet). Will I be able to claim the cashback? The camera with the 16-55mm was £599, so that would tie up with the new price of £499 with £100 cashback. I had to order from Warehouse Express (and not the much lauded...

Focus confirmation on a DS
I have just got hold of an ist*DS and was having a play with it today and decided to try my Takumar M42 50mm 1.4 on it. I am using an original pentax adapter with it but for reasons unknown I can't get the focus confirmation to work with it. :? It works fine on the K20 but not the DS. Am I missi...

Thanks mate for the confirmation. I thought it was just me being dim :roll: A little disappointed at this as my old eyes aren't what they used to be, and I rely on the focus confirmation. :cry:

It works with M lenses, so why doesn't it work with all lenses? How does the type of lens make any difference? The confrmation is based on the image, not on info from the lens. Use MF mode.

Clarky, I've dug out some SMC Takumars and a Pentax M42/K adapter, the focus confirmation comes on on my DS when the focus switch is set to MF or AUTO. However, I think the problem lies here: menu/custom setting/FI with S lens used. this should be set to '2 available' Hope that helps. BTW t...

Gartmore, Thanks a billion. That did the trick. I couldn't find it in my manual.

Enjoy the DS, quite a different beast from the K20d I'd imagine but a sweet little Pentax nonetheless. Anyway, this is one of the things I love about this forum, knowledge sharing without frontiers.

The *istDS is a terrific camera and in many ways I preferred it to my K10D.... I have to agree John. After my brother hijacked my K10 I have been on the look out for a good second body that suits my needs and reading the reviews on the DS, I knew it was the one and just waited for one to come up at ...

It was more compact, fitted the hands better, had a more substantial AF/MF selector that didn't get knocked. The single control wheel did not bother me as a simple press of a button converted it to the alternative use. On the other hand, the K10D has more resolution and better image quality, a mo...
