Pentax repairs .. return times?
My K10D really needs to go back to Pentax so that I can get a mark looked at on my sensor (Too heavy handed with my rocket blower). It may need a new sensor or maybe just a clean but can anyone tell me what their turnaround time are like? Thanks. BTW, usually there is a filter in front of the sens...

Pentax repairs .. return times?
Posted my K10D just over 2 weeks ago - still not back. It was in for repair - I dropped it :( :oops: Nothing happened for first week - it had been booked in incorrectly, and didn't discover it until I rang up!. Should be back very soon - in part dependent on whether they needed to wait for parts...

Pentax repairs .. return times?
I believe that any complicated repairs have to be sent out of the country, and that tends to take time. My *ist D took about a month when it was sent to Germany, but came back like a new camera. When I lived in London, I used to take items to Slough myself. Sometimes they'll fix simple things w...

Hi everyone i sent a lens back earlier in the week and was gonna swap it for a different lens.But after a few days mulling over my options i am now thinking about a k200 with grip' which would be a backup to my k10 even though its a newer model.

would love to have done this george but my cash is tied up with srs for the previous lens:roll: Don't forget if you have any front/back focus problems it's not user adjustable as we found out a few topics back. EDIT: Typo:oops:

k200d user advice
I agree with George, why not another K10D? if not only for the fact that you can pick it up and use it instinctively, using a K200D will mean getting used to a different menu and most important using a body with only one dial. If the back up isn't an immediate must why not save up a few more quid...

K-m or K200D?
the k200 has more focus point then the km also it has a top lcd also it has better build quality and i dont think the km is weather sealed(could be wrong) the k200 goes from iso 100 to 1600 and the km 100 to 3200. hope this helps and why not the need for a k20d:?:, oh and k200 any day of the week,

K-m or K200D?
Since the prices are similar, the only good reason to favour a K-m over a K200D would be for the smaller size and lower weight. It would be the most suitable model for travelling light. That's a much greater benefit in my view than the number of focus points. No doubt some people make use of diff...

Kit Bag which one?
I have a a Lowepro AW100 pre-slingshot design. It was down from £65 to £30 in my local camera shop. It is quite taxing on the shoulders when doing long treks through the country. If you plan to do some long walks you really need something with decent back padding/strapping and support.

Kit Bag which one?
I too have a Tamrac Expedition 5, which is very comfortable. I too find a back pack more comfortable than a shoulder bag, especially when carrying a lot of kit. I can't imagine carrying the Bigma over my shoulder for any length of time. Check the empty weight of a bag - some are so heavy empty they...

Kit Bag which one?
I have:- Tamrac expedition 8X, which is huge, but very comfortable, even fully laden. Takes upto a 17" laptop. Very Highly Recommended if you need the capacity! My favourite bag by far, even if it gets the lightest use. Lowepro Fastpack 300, replaced a Slingshot 300 as it was too uncomfortable...

Kit Bag which one?
Bags are a very personal choice. Many people these days use backpacks, but I cannot bear them. They make my back sweat, which makes carrying them uncomfortable and they are impossible to get fast and easy access to the gear. I much prefer a simple shoulder bag. But there again, many people li...

Kit Bag which one?
Unlocker which bag did you take to the US with you? Took the Kata as it was the 'best fit' for airline carry on requirements, not as deep as there is no laptop section. Another advantage of the Kata is that you can store both straps inside the bag of the back to prevent having straps getting in t...

I would suggest: * Remove the back up battery and the main batteries * Leave for an hour or two * Put in a new back up battery * Put back in the main batteries * Reset the camera to defaults in the menu HTH! Matt

*ist D frozen
Following a call to Pentax who were unable to help, except to say send the camera back to them for repair, I tried reloading the firmware, after which the camera started to perform correctly again. However, during a photo session, the user accidentally pressed the flash button on the top plate when ...

Hello Pentax user's I have been looking at eyepiece magnification for my pentax, that was until i came across something called " " focusing screens.

Advice needed: Eyepiece Magnifiers+Focus screens
I use the O-ME53 on my K10 but find it hard to see the info at the bottom of the viewfinder when wearing my glasses, and the dioptre adjustment insufficient for my eyesight. I am planning to get a split-screen katzeye screen. Every time I go back to a film camera (MX/LX/ME Super) I am pleasantly...
