Size of K100D focus screeen question
Thanks, for answering. It confirms my thoughts on that. The exposure problems occurring with the K10D/20D are screen related when using NON A lenses. Martin. I think it's the "Bright" coatings that the more recent screens get to make them bearable for use with slower (f/4-f/5.6) consumer zooms t...

There is a new screen in the K-7 and a new 77 metering system so Hefty your prayers might have been answered. That Danny (unlocker) didn't test it with the K-7 he had for testing :evil: :wink:

I wonder, How is your light meter behaving with this screen and using NON A lenses. Any compensation needed, or is exposure spot on ? Martin. Sorry Martin you have lost me. How does the Focus Screen affect the Light Meter? I know you are supposed to blackout the viewfinder when using remotes etc...

It has been discussed in detail on PentaxForums.com. The K10D/20D have been equipped with a new type of OEM screen compared to the ones in the *istD series. When I use the *istD screen in my K10D(easy to swap as the have the same size) and use NON A lenses like M42, K or M ones the metering is spot...

I always use my 1" X 30" belt sander to make new screens. Frosted scotch tape is a breeze to draw pencil lines on. http://greyhoundman.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html Very good DIY, Transit. :) Thanks Greyhoundman :) It was your tutorial that got me going on this ! Used a very fine inde...

Same routine for me. By now I know which lens needs what compensation at any given setting. Still....it would be nice if this issue is taken care for in the K-7.(fingers crossed) Good light to you, Martin. interesting... just rather nervously checked the new DA40 but all is well :) ok so th...

Hey Pete, just to confirm what you probably already know by now: An AF adjustment does not affect what you see in the viewfinder. It is just a software value informing the AF algorithm about the amount of compensation needed to obtain precise focus. An AF adjustment does affect manual ...

Well worth doing the adjustment so that MF lenses benefit from the green light and the beep. Trap focus also works better (assuming it's available on the K100D ).

Another rubbish K-7 review in UK magazine
I hear you. I actually played with the camera for about an hour at SRS a few weeks back and I am confident that anyone who has actually had that opportunity would come away raving about this camera...If not, then you have to question what other factors are colouring their judgement. You cannot fail ...

Pentax ME Super SLR
Yes, all Pentax lenses and most 3rd party lenses with a K mount will fit on the K100d and all other Pentax (D)SLR cameras from the mid 70's to the present. Deppending on the exact lens and camera combination, some features may not work. Only features supported by BOTH the camera and the lens will...

I'm almost jealous
We're just back from a trip to Urk, which will mean something to the Dutchies amongst us :wink:. I bought my husband a K-m while we were there. He tried both the K-m and the X70 but like the K-m, best. It is a lovely little camera, and so light and easy to carry I am almost jealous of him having ...
