Focus confirmation on a DS
I still love my Ds, even though I've given it to the BP now. I miss it. A pity they couldn't squeeze all the good things about the K20D into a Ds sized package. I found the fact that it uses AA batteries to be a plus point to be honest - you can always buy AA's wherever you are in an emergency. It'...

Pulled the trigger (Part 2!)
Hi guys, Decided to cancel the order with Warehouse Express and ordered through SRS instead. You only live once and got the DA* 16-50mm instead of the 16-45mm. Well, I'm sure the plastic fantastic can take it! Arriving Tuesday, well chuffed. Big thanks to Chris at SRS, thoroughly nice guy...

Pulled the trigger (Part 2!)
Still not sure where the saying "pulled the trigger" actually came from (although I can make a pretty decent guess)and personally hate it myself but anyway. Well done, sure you will be a lot happier knowing it came from a decent dealer, I presume Pentax got back to you about backdating the cashba...

Self inflicted heart attack, stroke & shock!!
Well, I've been hanging my nose over a split screen focussing screen on my K200D, and a while back I ordered one from eBay. It arrived in fairly good order, but with no instructions, a while ago and I've been nerving myself to fit it since then. A trip to the zoo today convinced me that focussing...

Self inflicted heart attack, stroke & shock!!
The split image section blacks out when the eye is not totally central to it and also with slow telephoto lenses. This has always been the case and is inevitable. AF cameras don't need a split image screen to work accurately and fortunately for me my eyes don't need one either to manually focus. I'v...

Self inflicted heart attack, stroke & shock!!
I use a Nikon split screen, custom made for the K10/20. I got it when I had the K10 and put it straight into the K20 when I got it. I do a fair bit of manual focus work and swear by this screen, I wouldn't go back to the standard screen. I have heard good things about the Katzeye screens but ...

Self inflicted heart attack, stroke & shock!!
Well, I dragged off to my usual test site for a bit of a session. The testing was fairly 'quick and dirty' without checking many aperture settings. First impressions are that it's going to stay in for a while at least. Autofocus was unaffected and worked fine. If anything, it was a shade bette...

Aperture recognition K200D
I tested the exposure problem on my K10 a little while back and found it gets progressively worse as you say until about f/11 then got better again. Not sure what the issue is with the Chinon lens but the fix -- determining a standard EV compensation -- should still help I would have thought? BT...

Dodgy cable
Sadly, it isn't one of those which is a standard mini-USB fitting like the others I already have. The socket on my K10D is much smaller. So, back to the original question, any idea where I can get a cable for my K10D? Thanks Kris.

K100D Super Problem
Hello, new on here and also new to SLR's so please bear with me I wonder if anyone can help me please. My camera (K100DSuper) lost its Auto Focus yesterday. One minute it was fine, the next it stopped working. It's not the lens, we've tried other lenses on it, same problem. Manual focus is fine....

K100D Super Problem
Hi and welcome to the forum. Firstly, the obvious question, has the camera been set to auto focus and not inadvertently been bumped into manual :?: There is also a setting in the custom settings to disable the AF function when you half press the shutter button, have you made any settings chan...

K100D or K10D - Am I missing something?
As others have pointed out; "no" is the answer. You can make photos every bit as good as a K10/20D with your current camera (albeit at a slightly lower resolution), however, I do think the additional body-based buttons and controls on the 10/20 - together with a lack of scene modes - makes experi...

Upgrade camera grip for K20D & K10D
This year I went to Photokina and the K20D models Pentax used there had a redesigned camera grip. It looks like... like they used two halves of those soft banana candies and putt them where your middle finger and your ring finger is, the rest of the grip stays the same. it really does give you a mo...

This month might be the only month soon I can miss my camera. I need it back before 3 december because we are going on ...

Something to Try (Only for the Brave)
Hi All, I think I've discovered a sure-fire way to see all the crud on your sensor. Not for the faint of heart - like moi - I'm still depressed.. Wait for a blue sky - or use a well-lit, clean sheet of blue paper. Set your lens for its absolute minimum aperture, completely de-focus and s...

Something to Try (Only for the Brave)
If I can put my 3p into the 'discovering sensor dust' fun ;). I have possibly better way, manual focus (and whatever focus setting), take a picture of a white/gray (best - uniform) wall, or piece of white paper, you can boots exposure a bit to get that white/gray object more white than gray ;). Loa...

Something to Try (Only for the Brave)
Wait for a blue sky - or use a well-lit, clean sheet of blue paper. Set your lens for its absolute minimum aperture, completely de-focus and shoot the sky. A couple of years ago, on the morning of the southerners PU meet in St. Albans, I used this technique to make sure my *istD sensor was spotle...
