Takumar A 2X tele-convertor
As an "A" lens it ought to work. The usual cause of problems of this nature is dirty contacts. Give them a good clean (lenses and camera); make sure they depress and spring back properly, and try again. G

k10D vs k20d with manual lenses/
I don't know about the K20D, but I tried my M50 on a friend's Samsung GX20 (the same camera as the K20D to all intents and purposes) and found it metered in much the same way as my K10D does - in other words; less than perfectly I'm sorry to report. As this problem could be "cured" on the K10D by...

Canon, Nikon & Sony - a revelation!
I've had my K100D now for 18 months and before that I had a Pentax Optio S and an Optio 550S (a brilliant camera - far ahead of the competition at the time and can even hold its own today). I have to admit that I never even considered another brand when I bought the K100D because I had always bee...

Canon, Nikon & Sony - a revelation!
I recently overhead a salesperson explaining a dual core chip as meaning you do two things at once on the computer, like "doing your email while watching a movie". But back to Pentax: they are completely superior cameras. Why anyone (other than certain professionals) would buy anything else is do...

Canon, Nikon & Sony - a revelation!
From the latest report I've read, they want to focus more on the outdoor market because of the weather sealing. If they can convince that it does the job and show that (in the later pentax isn't good), it is all about to be seen these days. maybe pentax should try to promote their camera through ...

Canon, Nikon & Sony - a revelation!
If Pentax advertised their cameras perhaps some magazines may rate their cameras and lenses a bit better. I mean when was the last time a Canikkon camera or lens got a poor write up?? I suppose the same goes for shops. If Pentax had more of a presence in the likes of Jessops / Currys etc. they ma...

Canon, Nikon & Sony - a revelation!
I had a walk through Tottenham Court Road in London a month or so ago, only one out of 20ish electrical/gadget shops had anything to do with Pentax, and that was that they had a K20d boxed on the top shelf out the back. :(

I used it a few days back - needed to get a shot from high up but not enough to stand on, so, Live View on, Held up at arms length, could get an reasonable view of the image, CLICK - first one was fine.

I don't have the K20D but a reason I would like Live view is that I guess it would/ could be very useful for setting up macro shots and getting the focus exactly right - is this tru for those who have it? Andy

I don't see how a low resolution screen can make checking focus easier. Every EVF camera I have ever used has been impossible to focus manually. The Pentax viewfinder shows quite clearly where the point of focus is, be it at normal or macro distances.

I dont have the K20 yet ;) but i will use the liveview for composing landscape shots when the camera is close to the ground and mounted on a ttripod. Its a real pain if the tripod is low and i want to compose the shot but am unable to sit down or get to the same level as the tripod. Since im sho...

Liveview was the first thing I turned off in the camera when I got it. The liveview implementation is terrible in the K20D. AF takes a century to complete and you can't even zoom in to a true 1:1 magnification, it only has digital zoom on the allready low resolution image. Using it for focus chec...

Currently I am fighting against myself not to buy a K20D, the extra crop factor qnd higher ISO over my K10D would be nice but they are not really THAT important to me at the moment. Had the Liveview been implimented properly and given 1:1 zoom for focus I would have bought one a while ago for macro...

Had the Liveview been implimented properly and given 1:1 zoom for focus I would have bought one a while ago for macro use. Me, too, probably!:? Andy

D40, K10 20 200 - Help please!
Hello folks! I have read that the 200D produces better pictures than the 20D? If that were true it would be a major egg-on-face moment for Pentax, but it's not something I've heard. The K20D is the flagship model and is supposedly a major step up from the K10D, on whose imaging engine the K200 is...

Cashback and voucher !
It seems that a lot of people are unaware of the cashback offers and the Pentax voucher. So I'll try and explain. I purchased a K20D and an SMC DA 18-55mm II lens, From a "Pentax Pro" dealer (Park Cameras). I then claimed the £100 cash back from Pentax. Pentax then sent me a voucher to use ...

Cashback and voucher !
When my Pentax camera arrives, the cash-back form which I have gives a choice of how you want the cash, I ticked a cheque. No mention of a voucher, cash-back means cash not a voucher surely.

Cashback and voucher !
If I understood Roscoe correctly, he got a £100 cash back AND a fifteen quid voucher. Not sure why he got the voucher as well, perhaps due to using that store. Gwyn... surely some helpful PUG person could claim your cashback and then send you the cash, if you find someone you trust? Best wish...
