K20 replacement
I was told by one well known camera dealer that the Nikon D5000 with the flippable screen is barely selling compared to their other models, despite all their advertising. He said he can not even give it away (exaggeration to make a point before anyone jumps on this). Well would you buy a "start...

K20 replacement
I think it is time for Pentax to take a quantum jump with software that can replace the mechanical buttons on the camera. If mobile phones have touch screens and GPS nav systems why not Pentax Camera’s User the screen in back of the camera for items like the Mode dial When viewing a photo have a...

K20 replacement
Or as long as my left hand it used to touch the screen all is active. But once I put my left hand back on the camera to take my shot or shots the camera then stops the touch screen until I need to use it again. left hand on the camera no touch screen. Left hand off the camera touch screen is active...

K20 replacement
But getting back to the K20 replacement. I think some of the idea's I have put here are good. I am not saying all are or would ever be added to a new K model. But this is room for Improvements to be made. I understand the Oppositions to a touch screen. But I see somewhere down the line these type...

K20 replacement
The trouble with a touch screen is 'is it needed and would it be better / faster?' One thing I have found after handling other cameras is how good the ergonomics are on Pentax DSLRs. Keep your eye on the viewfinder and you can very easily change aperture, ISO, focus point etc without taking your...

K20 replacement
The question is Live view. If we are going to use live view then the nose is not an issue here. I would not use the view then correct? But like I said before adding a infrared sensor either by the eye view or when I put my left hand back on the camera again the touch screen is disabled. Mobile...

Is Pentax's Magnifying Eyecup worth buying?
Hi all I was just looking at the SRS website for a replacement eyepiece when I found - a Pentax O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup. I need to replace the eyepiece on my K20D soon anyway, so I'm wondering if this 1.2 x magnification really does make it easier to focus or if it is just a gimick? What...

Is Pentax's Magnifying Eyecup worth buying?
Hi Greytop How do you find it helps? Is it really that much easier to focus or simply that the icons in the viewfinder are easier to read? Thanks.

Definitely easier to focus manually IMO.

Is Pentax's Magnifying Eyecup worth buying?
I use it too and agree that it helps greatly with manual focus, especially at macro. I don't have much trouble reading the OVF display either, though with glasses I image it might be a problem for some.

Is Pentax's Magnifying Eyecup worth buying?
Hi Greytop I tend to wear my contacts if I'm out for the day when taking landscape shots, I cannot cope with wearing my glasses through the normal viewfinder on my K10D Do you find the magnifying eyecup helps focusing with your landscapes as well as macro? As a novice, I've come home to load ...

Is Pentax's Magnifying Eyecup worth buying?
Hi Simon, I think the ME53 probably helps more for Macro work but having said that it never comes off my camera. The gain may be smaller with landscapes but I think it's still there. With regard to mirror lock up yes I think it makes a difference, mind you I'm probably a little lazy and tend t...

I'm not sure about at all. Mike I've had the Pentax 1.7x TC from them with no problem. Can anyone tell me if you could replace the glass in the magnifying eyepiece, to fit a perscription lens. I've looked at the diopter eyepieces but there the lens is held in with adhesive.

Is Pentax's Magnifying Eyecup worth buying?
Barrie, The O-ME53 consists if two lenses, if you remove the screws holding the eyecup rubber, the lenses are loose. Gregmoll - did you get the diagonal split prism. I thought these were usually for the K1000 and not very bright, so might affect metering. Yes the diagonal screen, I've never done ...

SRS, K20D one of dearest on-line now?
I had a problem with the lens shipped from Park Cameras with my K200 recently (Mk 1 18-55 and not Mk 2 pictured). When I called they initially gave me a small refund, but when after reflection I called back and asked them to exchange at no extra cost, they agreed, and only charged me the amount they...

SRS, K20D one of dearest on-line now?
I never thought I'd say this but SRS have put their K20D up by £130 to £649. I've just had a quick search around and they are one of the dearest on-line now! I was hoping to get a K20D soon but I don't think I'll bother at that price, I'll just have to make do with my K10D and wait until the prices...

Is the K7 already flawed?
Depending on the design of the rspective bayonet mounts and the back focus distance the lenses are designed for, it can be well nigh impossible to do what you suggest.
