srs microsystems
mattp, you can be assured that those of us who like to deal with SRS do so for good reason. My personal experience is with a DA* 16-50mm lens which they have replaced twice due to well documented focussing issues, without question. SRS has helpful and knowledgeable staff and they sell the prod...

K10 reliability
Hi Everyone - here's a hard one to ask, but nothing ventured.... My K10 is coming towards its first birthday. Its been fantastically reliable. So the question I have is do I shell out for the breakdown insurance...or save the money towards the next step upgrade? I'm not a pro and probably av...

K10 reliability
Pentax provide a statutory 12 month guarantee. The Pentax Pro centres themselves extend that to 2 years. So if things go wrong you go back to the Pro centre and they sort it ;) Matt

K10 reliability
Hi Rataegeoff, You can check out some of my work here Click on the image and click on the link 'More Properties' to see which lens I used. What do you think of the results? Getting back on topic I have an event to shoot in 2 weeks and would really have liked a second body as back up! Which b...

K200D or K10D
I think there are a few more important advantages to K10 than have been mentioned..... The K10 is sealed against the ingress of damp and dirt etc and, vitally, has an exterior lever to change meter mode from segmented to 'spot'. This is a very important advantage as usersw of K100/k200 are forced...

K200D or K10D
There are other more subtle advantages also such as being able to remove/replace the focusing screen for a custom item (massive improvement to camera when using manual focus lenses) ...the K10 is much easier to hold and can take a grip which even greater improvement to ergonomics especially with lar...

K200D or K10D
Forgot to mention, as a new user the K10d could be a bit daunting, the K200d is aimed at just this level. Yes it is but its a camera you can grow further into. The K10D was my first DSLR and I've used it a lot in Av mode to get used to it. Modes on the K200D like; Picture (Portrait, Landscape, Macr...

K200D or K10D
They actually have the same focus system (as well as the same sensor) so you're not missing out. The difference is that the K10D has a 3-way selector next to the lens mount whereas the K200D has a 2-way one (with the choice of AF mode being made in menus). It's a small detail but another point to th...

Flash guns for K20D
We had the same decision in the end, Pentax 540 or Metz 58. We went with the Metz in the end because:- 1. It's all Metz do, they know flash inside out so we presumed better experience = better product. 2. Extra catchlight flash on the front of the gun. 3. Slightly more powerful. 4. Ab...

Torture!
You definitely need to take full advantage of the guarantee and not waste a month. You also need to check the lens is OK so it could be returned if necessary during the short statutary period. Two good reasons why you need the lens and Santa can perhaps pack up the box? :) Or at least give it ...

You guys must have great wives buying Xmas presents like that. I'm lucky to get a pair of slippers. Takes me back to when I was a little boy just after the war, times were hard, no presents. At least I was glad I was a little boy and had something to play with on Xmas morning.

Well if you must live in sunny Spain whilst a lot of us live in the freezing cold, wet UK :!: I got back here Tuesday after a few days in the UK and can honestly say its been the coldest and wettest I have known in the 18 months or so we have been here. It actually seems colder here because we dont...

Welcome to the forum, this makes me your first reply then. :lol: Sounds like you have the basics already covered. I cover a lot of sports events some indoors and basketball is one of the faster moving ones, as you say normally in poor lighting conditions (unless of course TV cameras are present)....

It is possible that your camera is back/front focussing with these lense, my K10D did and I was able to adjust it to compensate. Do a forum search for Back Focus and you should get some ideas on how to test this, you will need a focus chart and use auto focus at f2.8. Are you using AF-C? It is ...
