Shake reduction off for tripod use - why?
I'm am always forgetting to turn off SR and then turn it back on again...:oops: Well you'd be a lot better off leaving it on then. Lots of people have speculated along Prieni's lines... My guess (and I would need to read up on this) is, that when the camera is on the tripod the SR's acceleration...

Shake reduction off for tripod use - why?
Back when I first got my K100D I experimented w/ SR on a tripod, taking a number of pictures both ways, w/SR on and off; blown up very large I could see no difference between w/ and w/o. Test was done w/ FA-J 75-300 on a tripod heavy enough for the rig, aimed at a brick wall and some architectural ...

O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup users
Stefan I guess there might be an issue with the fact that the flip up magnifier is described as adding "2x magnification to the central portion of the focusing screen, recommended for critical focusing". The original poster mentioned something suitable for use for general photography :) Edit: S...

O-ME53 Magnifying Eyecup users
I recently acquired the O-ME53 for use with my K10d and M series lenses. It makes a surprising difference. I recommend it. I focus using the matte screen - I do not like focusing aids in my field of view, and I dislike the effect on metering. It makes manual focusing just that little bit easier.

Studio Setup
I've used the 100mm a lot of times and used f/2.8 sometimes. Here is the shot. Was taken at a photo course and we used constant lighting here with, so they didn't had the output of the flash-units and we applied the light subtle. Most of them were indeed shooting at f/4 but I thought I could d...

Experience with repairs, quotes?
I scratched the front element of my DA* 50-135, took it back to SRS to get them to get a quote for me, the response came back 'beyond economical repair', apparently due to it being sealed. From what you have explained, I wouldn't be surprised if you got the same response, and no repairer worth th...

Buying a K10D
I had a DL before the K10D and the AA's never had the battery life of the battery in my K10D. I would look on ebay, the classifieds on here and look for a used model. I would never sell mine as it is a good back to my K20D.

Buying a K10D
Does anyone have any opinions on the K-m. Reviews seem to be very mixed and people seem to be frustrated by the lack of AF target points in the viewfinder, but is this really such a big deal? Also, I've noticed the K-m is powered by 4 AA Batteries as opposed to a Li-Ion battery. I have had proble...

Buying a K10D
If you want to know why you wont find a "new" K10D anymore, just look back through the forum to the time when they were freshly discontinued. Look for posts by Chris@SRS. He was buying up old stock wherever he could find it and still selling out faster than he could find them. The K10D is a fanta...

K-m and 0-ME53
Yes I played around a bit with the K-m when she got back in May. I think is a great little package. Very nice handling, solid build for an entry level camera and capable of taking great images (lets face it most D-SLRs are) :) Yes the standard eye cup doesn't come off that easily, it clips in pos...
