K-m at sensible price?
The Currys K-m offer in on again until Wednesday April 15th. Cash back price £329.99 inc 18-55 + 50-200 but you better be quick as the CB offer ends on the 15th too. Mind you, I bought mine in early February and still haven't had my cash back :(

K-m at sensible price?
Thats a good deal I purchased mine in Feb with the same deal The only trouble was they had the camera but no spare 50-200 so I took the display lens in its box Since that deal ended its been listed as £499 for the same kit on Currys website. Another advantage of purchasing from them is the buy now ...

K20ds Here
Sorrey I just made a mess up of the last two threads. They shoud have read: I have a K20 that may have a AF error that I must check out. I have read on this forum that it can be checked by using a focus chart. I could do with some advice on how to check it out, and what is the best chart to use.

Using test charts at 45 degrees can be unreliable because the focus point may not be perfectly aligned. Instead...... 1. Focus on a contrasty flat part of subject that is directly in front of you, like part of a house. Use f4 or preferably f2.8. 2. Take a shot. 3. Set AF Adjustment in Cu...

Couple of K200d questions
I use a mix of lenses on my K200d, including M and A 50mm, 135mm and 28mm primes. The results with older Pentax glass is superb. I only use modern 'digital' zooms though, I'm not convinced by older lenses in this field. If you want to use M42 mounts get a proper Pentax adaptor, the cheaper on...

K20D Cheap at Dixons
Strange that on a Google search Dixons once the UK's main camera shop never comes up? They seem to be about the cheapest for the K20D at the moment £567.63 inc. delivery.... SRS are £619 = £51.37 dearer and Dixons claim to have stock. Check if it's the mkII kit lens if anyone buys one. The links ...

What would be the K30D?
I cant see the point of a full frame sensor personally. The camera would cost too much and Pentax probably wouldnt sell enough the make the money back. Even the likes of Nikon havent exactly sold loads of D3's. Then we have to think about the lenses...

What would be the K30D?
K30D list: SAFOX IX AF with centre F1.2 sensitive sensor F2.8 for the rest. This should include a more sensitive AF module and better focusing algorithms to improve speed and accuracy. 3D tracking would be nice but you would need a lot more focus points. Improved 14MP CMOS sensor from Samsung ...

What would be the K30D?
A live veiw that flips up as per the Pentax EI2000 would be very useful for low shots, and waist level shots, and can even be used at arms length above your head (albeit upside down) to get over crowds. I'm sure if Pentax brought out a digital back for all the owners of 645's both MF & AF they woul...

Dust - AAARGH!
Don't need flash. Use a lens and a white sheet of paper in a reasonably well lit and evenly lit place. Use the Dust Alert function for the K20D. For other models (or a better test for the K20D), select manual focus and defocus the lens. Use Av mode at f16 or f22. Set the ISO to 100 or 200. Set EV...

Is Pentax to disappear?
Funny how I bought a brand new Pentax from another well known national camera store ( not jessops funnily enough ) only the other week. They certainly don't seem to have stocking issues.. well apart from the cash back deal making Pentax's sell better than hot cakes.

Is Pentax to disappear?
Just a thought, Panasonic, Sansung and Olympus DSLRs seem to be missing on J****** shelves, does this mean they're also going bust? Or has my local store got it right by stocking ALL these and Pentax as well as cutting back on canikony?
