Med Format. DSLR
The last I heard it is back on but that it will be a Japanese market only product. Of course with the wonders of the Internet I'm sure you'll be able to get one sent to you from Japan without too much trouble, just be aware that it won't be cheap to buy!

Med Format. DSLR
I can see that a MF pentax can be atractive for starting professionals though and even some oldies might go back to Pentax simply for the joy. About the sensor, it's going to be most likely a Kodak, the with 31,6MP was last mentioned but Kodak in the mean time have brought out the & with 39...

K200D JPEG Settings
It's not only our personal taste, but also the type of images we shoot. If you always shot in misty dawn situations, for example, your requirements might be very different to a photographer who shoots fashion by studio flash. I used "Bright" when the winter was dull, but have now changed back to ...

K200D JPEG Settings
I used "Bright" when the winter was dull, but have now changed back to the normal setting to prevent results looking too garish I'm using Bright because the Summer is so dull:)

K7 Prices
Today I called SIMPLY ELECTRONICS, the company that I refer to on this post. Apparently the equipment is not a Grey Import and is in fact stock held in the UK. I draw your attention to something that worries me about this company and the way they work. The goods, like I say, are held in the ...

Pentax marketing of the K-7

K20D.......WHY.......
Absolutely agree with using the K20. I thought the K10 was the bees knees but more often than not focus was an issue with the K10 for me too. The K20 is a well improved bit of kit. Cedric

K20D.......WHY.......
I can't help feeling that a lot of my shots are too soft, not "tack sharp" like I'm aiming for. I'm sure a lot of this is down to beginners technique but with tripod, remote control and now magnifying eyepiece there should be no excuse. So 2 questions: 1. Is there a good online guide for shooting...

K20D.......WHY.......
Use both hands to support the camera from underneath, keep your elbows bent and tucked in close to your body (pointed down), don't take the shot while inhaling (either exhale or hold your breath) and finally squeeeeeeeeeze the shutter gently - never jab at it. Leave your finger there until after the...

K20D.......WHY.......
Another piece of advice is to manually focus. It can work a lot better than AF. And you can choose wherever you want the focus to be in the frame, without messing about with moving AF blobs. I defocus and refocus with every shot. This ensures a good number of keepers. The following was done hand-...

K20D.......WHY.......
Calibrating focus is straightforward. 1 Switch camera off. 2 Mount lens on body. 3 Switch SR on. 4 If the camera DOES NOT recognise your lens, it will ask for the focal length. If it doesn't ask, you're OK. 5 With camera held steady (best on a tripod) take a picture of the test chart at an a...

K20D.......WHY.......
One additional point to add when calibrating focus,that is use natural light. Tungsten lighting is known to affect AF. Steve

K20D.......WHY.......
Ooh - so much advice! Calibrating focus is straightforward. Good to know I was on the right lines with the focus chart but as they say: a little knowledge can be dangerous. Thank you for spelling out the complete procedure. Thanks also to Steve and rparmar. Results of Shake Reduction: testing ...

K10 D Repair
Now I have a K20 I am contemplating having the K10 serviced. It would be good to have the focus checked/adjusted (only because I don`t fancy rooting about in a debug programme). Has anyone experience with Johnsons Photopia or for that matter any other repair centre?

K100D Super
I just could not resist ... went back to the Amazon website again. They are now offering a K100D (without even the Super suffix)at the exceptional price of £649). Looking at other threads on the "forth-coming" replacements for the K200, K20, K-m [insert model here]and think that the marketing peop...

K20D status now end of life
Personally, I think its a sad indictment of modern times that such a superb camera as the K20D has had a production life of only 18 months. Compare that to the older film cameras (K1000, ME, MX etc.) and it is disgraceful, I think. I agree , but like or not the K20 is seen as old technology. I doubt...
