Buying cokin filters
i have just checked out the website of fotokonijijenberg.nl. It is a winner compared to all the rest i have seen. To buy a 77mm ring adapter, ND grad filter N8 and filter holder for z pro series it will set me back 120 euro delivered. It is far cheaper than anywhere else, by atleast 50 euro. Thanks ...

K-7 Returned with faulty sensor
Not very good have you taken it back to the shop and changed it or sent it for a repair?

K-7 Returned with faulty sensor
John, you might have to turn up your contrast/brightness. It runs down the centre of the image from top to the bottom and is only ~1 pixel wide. Tel, I've just sent it back to SRS for a replacement body.

K-7 Returned with faulty sensor
Ahh, sorry John, I misunderstood. Yes, I expect that it may be a paid repair but I'm hoping that Pentax may be a little accommodating. :) I've been slack in getting back on this. Pentax Australia (CR Kennedy) repaired it free of charge. I've not noticed the problem since.

Firmware upgrade and shutter count
To have the facility to change the actual shutter count would be like winding the clock back on a car, not advisable. If the shutter were ever to require replacement, then it would be reset.

Split screen disappointment.
I agree, however, all Pentax SLRs give focus confirmation in the viewfinder whcih works pretty well. A split screen also affects spot metering function, so not totally desirable.

K7 for £949 each
Most good camera shops will buy direct from the importer. A camera manufacturer can tell from the serial number whether a camera is a legal import into the country or not. If it is a grey import then they may well not honour the guarantee on it. They are within their rights to do this. Pixmania i...

K7 for £949 each
As I said, I have bought lots from Pixmania and never had a problem and was able to return things without any restocking fees. However, I have been lucky and not had faulty goods like the batch of K7s with the sensor problem and that scares me, regardless of the retailer frankly. I hope this gets na...

Sv has changed on the K-7?
Me also Peter i have mapped the dials in most of the manual modes.Mode(aperture shutter etc) on the front and iso on the back:wink:

Favorite mode and why?
I think I'm more of a novice. I like to use mine in program mode but then use the dials to adjust the aperture (usually to achieve the required DOF) and sometimes the shutter speed (for action shots). The advantage here is that if I mess it up the green button quickly gets me back to the startin...

Favorite mode and why?
Have never used auto on mine, I decided on day one that I needed to try and work things out from the beginning. I have used AV mode virtually all the time with the exception of airplanes when I want some prop blur whan I use Tv. Have lately discovered P mode though and think that's just about ...

Favorite mode and why?
Even when using an older lens I tend to leave the body in Av. I have aperture ring engaged in the menus so all I need to do is focus, compose, adjust aperture manually and shoot. Maybe I should use Manual mode!:shock: But what the heck it works either way!:lol:

Favorite mode and why?
Interesting... Once I learned about 'P' Hyperprogram I use nothing else. It combines all the features of AV and TV in one setting. By default it sets aperture and shutter speed based on the menu option program line setting in Custom settings. Default is Normal as in 'best setting' based on li...

Tele convertors
What kind of lens is it, 100-300mm doesn't say a lot but I can already say that you will most likely are getting troubles since the AF needs a minimum aperture of 5.6 to work proper. So that means that your lens needs to be at least f/2.8 for a 2x TC to let it work good with AF. The best thing i...
