Jessops at it again!!
As I said the offer has ended. It was there for two or three days, may have been a misprice or the codes may have been removed as no cash back was mentioned....John

Jessops at it again!!
Living in Canada, in the late 1980's I went Jessops as I was a reader of "Practical Photography" and always saw their ads. I went to one in London can't remember where but the staff was pleasant and got a good deal on EXTENSION TUBES the only think which surprised me was the service charge they cha...

Jessops at it again!!
Weird one from me too, I wouldn't be shooting Pentax if the Jessops store manager didn't recommend the K10D to me. Then after handling it, it felt so much better than the equivalent priced competition, that I walked out with one. But.... since then, apart from an offer on the grip as I bought the...

Jessops at it again!!
Not too far off topic I hope, but does anyone else miss the Jessops of old, when it was owned by the Jessop family? I really miss the 'Jessops List' that used to occupy half a dozen or more pages in the back of AP. It was so extensive and tightly packed, they even sold a little fresnel magnifying gl...

Jessops at it again!!
Now we have the internet. Much more information, and from many more sources. I can find out all I need to know without stirring from my comfortable armchair. Then a quick phone call, and next day the kit arrives. Miss the exercise, though. G Yes but the fingers and thumb on the mouse hand a...

Jessops at it again!!
In Bradford the main supplier for Pentax has become Bradford Camera Exchange. Odd, as they were mainly selling Samsung kit, but a dealer in this area can only be good for our chosen brand.:lol: BCE also seem to be cutting back on their Canon stock... :? This when Jessops are saying they ca...

Planning to buy a K20D
For the sake of £30 I'd get one of those 50-200's from Jessops before they're all gone! And so I did today :D However the body and the other stuff have to wait till I'll get my payment :) I'd then get the K20D + 18-55 MkII bundle (£579 - £100 cashback), forget the grip (nice for balancing heav...

Planning to buy a K20D
Hmmm, I never used a telephoto macro lens. Is it 150mm telephoto 35mm equivalent with macro 1:1 or do I get it wrong? Still, I'm OK with manual focusing (well, I'm not sure how it works on Pentax - how it 'feels'), so maybe I'll look around for some cheaper solution for that. Is it OK to ask here a...

Wedding photos with the K10D
Realistically, you aren't likely to make fantastic pro iamges on that wedding. You know that, you friend knows that, so the pressure is off, a bit... I shot a friends graduation (PhD), I had advised him to go with a pro (even if they were very expensive), but he said its ok, he just wants to get so...

"catch in focus"
what does this do and does anyone use it.

"catch in focus"
Focus Trap is a useful tool for some sports events, leave the camera body on AF and with a manual lens pre focus on a point and hold the shutter release down. When the subject comes into focus the shutter fires. That is the theory, but with my Ist D the light and subject contrast has to be good........

"catch in focus"
This is what Hardgravity said in the "manual focus" thread: "You could set catch in focus in the menu to on, then just by slowly focusing through the desired object the camera takes the shot at the optimum moment." i've looked in the Menu's on both K10 and K100 and can't find reference to it.

"catch in focus"
i've looked in the Menu's on both K10 and K100 and can't find reference to it. You won't find any reference, in the K10D menu's. But it works as described above. 1# set focus lever on af- S 2# focus slight behind or in front of desired focus point. 3# press shutter release button all the way. 4#...

"catch in focus"
ok cheers guys, the k200 has it, not used it but might muck abot with it. :wink: Good luck, I've used it on several occasions with good results. When using it keep an eye on your focus indicators, the red square in the centre and green hexagon below don't always agree! but the shots still work. ...
