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 ...

K10D & Sigma 70 lens, focusing problem
I've had similar problems with the same Sigma lens (APO 70-300, no DG), there was back or front focusing I believe. But when I do focus manually (which is what I was used to do most of the time on my MZ-5n) it is okay. Check the viewfinder if you haven't shifted the dioptric adjust, it happened to m...

K10D & Sigma 70 lens, focusing problem
[/quote] Thanks for the f8 tip John, I will give that a go. In all my tests I have used a tripod and tend to get the effect of the image being unfocused rather than camera shake. However my lens is not 'D' rated so I wonder if trying to get a lens that has been optimised for 35mm to focus on a CC...

Will K mount bodycap fit DSLRs?
Sorry for this total newbie question. I bought my K10D second hand without a bodycap. Will an original K mount bodycap from the earliest manual focus Pentax days fit on it as I noticed one on E Bay this evening? Cheers.

Will K mount bodycap fit DSLRs?
They should be replaced by a lens. There's very little need for a body cap apart maybe for a backup body. The shipping cap is adequate, but the proper bayonet ones are much better. I usually find I need a supply of both these and lens back caps as sometimes I buy body+lens and then sell them sepa...

Strap mounts
Nobody is the same Mike but it works for me. When I had the neck strap on the camera I would wind it around my wrist and hold the camera in my hand but it doesn't really do anything, if I would let the camera fall, the strap wouldn't have saved it I think. my wrist strap is a bit differend then ...

Strap mounts
Corks that looks complicated! I bought a messenger bag from TKMax for ten pounds which happily sits on a shoulder but when I'm using the camera that too goes on a shoulder. I also have a back pack for hiking but nothing so flash as the one you mention! Mike

Lens clearance to camera
Thanks for all the input ! Mannesty, I see your point. My bellows is a t-mount and the adapter allowed for just enough room to fit. I didn't have a grip to deal with. Beakynet and GlynM the Tamron 500's you have are adapt-alls? I know the extension at the back helps in clearing the nose of the...

Well no since the cmos sensor doesn't have anything to equipment to focus with, it only record light. If you autofocus with Liveview the screen goes black I think and now you know why it does it, sony use a different system. This the sony system, when the line is vertical it will go through ...

New kit lens. WR = Weather Resitance???? If so I'm tempted to buy one, would be a great adventure lens if it's cheap. I don't see why it shouldn't be autofocus in movie mode. There are rumours of a Nikon D750 coming out with that functionality and there are surely various possible technica...

News from Japan.
what if that really long flat prism is made that way because the af uses a hybrid of safox and moving the sensor forward and backward...which would make all mf lenses af, make all older af lenses focus faster, AND allow af in video mode? of course the video would need distance info from the lens its...

What's the difference?
I have a K10D, my Dad has a K200D. the K200D has HDR mode, which is a nice advantage, also the AA battery compatibility is nice in a tight spot although you do loose a little bit on single charge battery life. the K10D has twin control wheels and (it seems to me) faster and more sensitive auto...

What's the difference?
Yes, I did write that this effect is achieved in camera. The camera doesn't actually make separate exposures and then blend them. For true HDR you would need separate exposures. I tried this Effect when I first bought the K20 but found it quite useless and have never used it again. There is one...

accidently deleted pics
Yes, you can get most or all of the images back and there is free software on the web to enable you to do this. Artplus Digital Photo Recovery is the one we have used with success. There are others. If recovery is not successful, try formatting the card and trying again. With some cards we found ...

D-BG2 for £49.97 @ Jessops
Got another one from Warrington. Ordered it last Friday and it said collect today. Order price was about £44 but when I told them it had been reduced they let me have it for £35. Strange thing is they had one in the clearance bin for ages and nobody bought it so they sent it back to Leicester onl...

D-BG2 for £49.97 @ Jessops
Update Having gone back and reread some of this thread I noticed that the on switch on the gripo is only for the grip not master for the camera.Tried again turned on camera and all functions on the grip work.It seems all that is needed is a little use of a set of needle files just to allow a clos...

D-BG2 for £49.97 @ Jessops
So far as I know if you select Auto the camera will use the battery with the highest voltage (thus the highest charge) each time. In either other case it will use the indicated battery unless the voltage is very low (in other words, when the battery is flat). In all cases I do not think the swit...
