Rubber Comin away on K20D
My K10D did it a few weeks ago, bit of superglue on a needle tip and just a quick wipe under the flap and its now stuck down good as gold. While superglue certainly does the job I wouldn't recommend it. It'll hold the rubber down but those coverings are designed to be peeled back (they cover access ...

Rubber Comin away on K20D
While superglue certainly does the job I wouldn't recommend it. It'll hold the rubber down but those coverings are designed to be peeled back (they cover access screws for the body) and if it's been super'd the cover will have to be torn. Well you could have told me that before I did it ... :roll: ...

This is a very famous picture on Ned's blog! Click on the photo to get a larger image, then look at the camera on the wall of his spa! Then you'll see why he made this shot a soft focus one!

Should I go for the GX10?
niles, ive bought the gx 10 from park cameras about three weeks ago. It is my first dslr and i am very pleased with it, but still getting to grips with the non auto use. Can anyone suggest my best route for taking blur free pictures of kids running, is it is0 800 in auto with the anti blur on? or ar...

Checking front/back focussing
Hi When checking for front/back focussing issues with a specific lens and K20D do you focus once then change the focussing mode to manual so it doesn't refocus when changing the adjustments from -10 through +10 ? or do you leave the focus switch to af-s so it focus's before each shot ? Jas...

Checking front/back focussing
I've not got a K20D, but you would have to leave it on AF so that you can see the result from the next test using the adjustment previously made. It's purely an AF exercise, there's probably a separate manual focus error as well, but you can't adjust that. shim

Checking front/back focussing
I'm not saying to manually focus the shot but to auto focus it and leave it at that point and make the adjustments on camera to see which one is the correct one. You would then make the adjustments in camera for each subsequent shot and see which adjustment point was the best. Confusing myself e...

Checking front/back focussing
The adjustment only has an effect when the camera autofocuses. Leave it on AF-S. Take a shot normally. Make an adjustment. Take another shot normally. Compare the two. Simple as that.

Checking front/back focussing
You work like this (with the camera in AF-S mode): 1. Put camera on tripod 2. Get a decent test target 3. Set the lens to either maximum or minimum focus point 4. Autofocus and take a test shot 5. Examine at around 11x magnification on the LCD 6. Adjust the AF if needed 7. Go back to step 3...

Checking front/back focussing
Examine at around 11x magnification on the LCD and compare with previous shots at the same magnification by turning the front wheel. Shoot JPEG test shots instead of RAW for the clearest images on the LCD when blown-up (because the "RAW" images displayed are actually highly compressed imbedded JP...

Can You all Check your K20D's Please
Been on and off the phone with Chris@SRS today about the Rubber not sealed at the back of the K20D. The strange thing is they all seem to be the same. (or at least the ones he had in shop). So im just curious if this is by design or fault or something else. The area concerned is on the back at ...

Mine is well and truly stuck down. It is proud of the plastic though, by design I reckon. It gives the right edge a soft feel for the thumb, unlike the hard plastic of the opposite edge of the back.

Come on Pentax, start thinking like Japanese Pentax are Japanese and really have very few QC issues when you think of the huge number of units produced. They have never had a complete lens recall like Canon have. John, I would like to repeat that I am not Pentax bashing here. Having worked wit...

Can You all Check your K20D's Please
The photo of the problem seems to have been erased. Mine seems OK. The seal is recessed into the body and would probably only come off if it was levered off or played with. Every time the card enclosure is closed it firms up the hold. Only got my K20D a few months back, maybe it is an upgrade of sor...

K200D Are they still being made?
Now do I keep the K100D Super or not? If you need the cash to finance another lens, sell it. If you don't, keep it as a back-up. Have fun with the new camera. Kris.

Lens Contacts (electrical)
I have however just bought a sigma 55 - 200 lens. Anybody had any experience with these? My first impression is that it seems ok. If it's the AF version it's a good lens.:D I have one and use it regularly, it's handy to have in the bag on city breaks as a back up to the standard lens. If it's ...

K10D & Sigma 70 lens, focusing problem
I purchased my Pentax k10D because of the ability to use my old non-digital lenses. One of those lenses was a Sigma 70-300mm 1:4-5.6 APO lens. Although not the most expensive of lenses it served my well on the old 35mm SLR, however I cannot get this to produce properly focused images. Even set to ...
