Advice needed: Eyepiece Magnifiers+Focus screens
I use a Katz Eye split-image screen with my K20D and previously K10D. I wouldn't want to be without it even if I stopped ever using manual focusing. It's so good to have instant optical precise confirmation of focus (when the subject is suitable). More details can be found by searching this forum an...

SHDC cards
blimey - that is cheap - will add a couple of those to my next order....... Cheap isn't allways the way to go with memory cards. I have had some bad experiences with cheap SD cards. From that moment on the only cards I am using are Sandisk Extreme III cards. I would agree that cheap cards are a tot...

SHDC cards
Well, I got 2x 8 GB cards , bought one got one free, I went to the usual camera shop I deal with. He knows I want to buy a new camera so , I think I'm been groomed, which has no effect on me at all.

Extra kit for a newbie with a k200d
I'm very happy with my 55-300mm. I was never that impressed with my 50-200mm - it never seemed very sharp - but some people seem to be, so there seems to be a bit of variation. I haven't tried lunar photography with it, but even with a 300mm lens the moon doesn't look that big. You could probably...

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
On pentaxforum.com someone posted that the AF is quicker in some cases. I can't tell for sure but I get the impression that it is a little quicker in darker environments but this can allso be my imagination. The SR now allso works when focus is not confirmed, it starts working immediatly when you...

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
I updated to 1.03 and went out into the garden and took this, it was windy and in the shade and I do think the update has made a difference and it might be my imagination but I think the auto focus was faster. Taken with Pentax 18-250 at 250mm f6.3 1/90s AP ISO200

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
Thanks Gwyn, all I need now is my camera back:cry:. I called Pentax in Hamburg yesterday and they told me that they had to wait for parts that had meanwhile arrived. So it could be that it is on it's way to me. Or to my works address. During the Easter Holidays.:cry: I won't hold my breath, let'...

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
Maybe they'll do the update for you :wink: I hope you get your camera back soon - there seem to be a lot of K20Ds being repaired at the moment:(

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
Initial impressions - the focus on my DA55-300 does seem faster, maybe slightly more damped, but it has made little difference to my DA*50-135.

Initial impressions - the focus on my DA55-300 does seem faster, maybe slightly more damped, but it has made little difference to my DA*50-135. How do you think the firmware can affect damping?

Initial impressions - the focus on my DA55-300 does seem faster, maybe slightly more damped, but it has made little difference to my DA*50-135. How do you think the firmware can affect damping? With a digital servo system, the software controls how it works. It is probably a PID servo . Or in no...

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
Is that true that the firmware update prevent the possibility of adjust lenses to fix the front/back focus? Hope it is only an uncorrect rumour!

Firmware update for K20D 1.03
Any body found much of a difference with the new 1.03 firmware update? No. Is that true that the firmware update prevent the possibility of adjust lenses to fix the front/back focus? Hope it is only an uncorrect rumour! That's the most stupid rumour I've heard about the update so far. It is in...

Circular or linear polariser?
Have yet to see linear polarizers give any problems on my K10D. Everyone I have spoken to have not seen problems with this on other current models or brands either. This may have been a problem with older style of auto-focus and metering but does not seem to be much of an issue now.

Circular or linear polariser?
As for me adding my 2 cents since moving to auto-focus in mid 1980's I went to the Circular Polriser by Tiffen as I knew the firm as a AMERICAN purchased in Cheltenham yet was made in JAPAN, I still use this filter for the 18-55 / 50-200 mm as it same filter mount as my previous Tarmon 28-70 mm for ...

lens not stopping down on K10d
Take the lens off the camera. Turn off the S/R. Switch camera on and look into the mount. On the left you should see a steel pin with a plastic mount on it with a lug poking out. Turn the on/off button to DOF preview ( you must have optical preview enabled). The plastic mount and lug should move ...

lens not stopping down on K10d
Actually just as easy to look through the lens when on the camera, and activate the DOF lever or take a 1 sec exposure....you will see if the lens stops down or not. Have you changed the focus screen by any chance ?
