K-m (k2000) or K200D - same price
The K200D comes with a better lens - the optics have been upgraded and there is a metal lens mount. The difference is marginal though. The body is also weather sealed. It is possibly slightly easier to use with older non-A lenses, thanks to the green button (can be assigned to Tv shift in Manual mod...

K-m (k2000) or K200D - same price
The K200D comes with a fractionally better lens - the optics have been upgraded and there is a metal lens mount. The optics are the same, if we're talking about the L and II versions. As for the cameras, I would go for the K200 (or second-hand K10D or K20D) to get the LCD top panel and more auto-...

K-m (k2000) or K200D - same price
I miss the quickshift with the L lenses :( I would go for the K200D too. With the K200D you get. - 11 focus points vs 3 - weather sealing - focus point that lights up in the viewfinder, KM does not have that. - there is a grip for the K200D not for the KM - top screen, sucks less power then...

Pentax Europe Online Store
I recieved the Pentax email news letter a couple of days back announcing that their on-line store was now up and running. I cann't recall anyone commenting on it (post launch) so I decided to take a look... Now I welcome the concept of Pentax having an on-line store - it should be a good pla...

Pentax Europe Online Store
I did email asking about their pricing compared to SRS/ Park Cameras etc, and making the comment that to see the prices could put people off Pentax brand etc. the reply I got shows they haven't engaged with the question: "Thank you for contacting the Pentax Store. We apologize for the inconvenien...

Grey Imports and what exactly is it?
Warranties can be an issue with grey imports, as often the warranty only applies in the market the goods were originally intended for. Check and see if the goods have an international warranty. Pentax has confirmed to me that it honours international warranties. You'll find companies like Purely ...

Grey Imports and what exactly is it?
The real important issue is not the terminology, but the nature of warranty. It maybe the producer's (Pentax) warranty or the trader's warranty. They are not the same. If you buy a Pentax product with Pentax warranty (Pentax European warranty), you can turn to all authorized Pentax service station w...

Some K-X questions...
Hi all! I'm new here *^-^* So, long story short, did Photography in college, but never made the jump to digital. Haven't properly held an SLR for about 8 years. Looking to get back into photography now I'm at university, and as my manual SLR was a Pentax, I figured I'd stick with the tried and...

Some K-X questions...
Welocme to the forum Ben. I don't know about January sales, but bear in mind that on 1st January VAT goes back up to 17.5% so prices may increase slightly. The K-x will be fine and many battery issues are probably related to users not using the recommended battery types. Rechargeables seem to be ...

Some K-X questions...
Yes there is a manual mode. You can use any Pentax lens from the Spotmatic era onwards. The M42 screw thread lenses are usued in stop down mode and need the Adadper K, as indeed would your K1000. The K and M series lenses have no electrical contacts and need to be used with stop down metering ...

Advice on upgrading my istDl
you're obviously a reasonably experienced photgrapher already so you don't really need the beginner oriented features on the K-X. You are thinking about taking your photography further into the serious amature or even pro arena so in your shoes I would get the K7 if I could afford it. I went from...

Advice on upgrading my istDl
I have just gone from an istDL2 to a K7 and, if you have the budget for a K7, I would go for it. The istDL2 did give me some superb pictures - better than its humble specifications would suggest, but with a couple of issues that really got in the way. I found the auto focus on the DL2 really bad, es...

5 hours with a K-x
My daughters Christmas present arrived this morning. I had a few hours to set it up and try it out before gift wrapping it :) From my faithful K100D... I am left feeling a little shocked at how good it is. The speed of it in all facets is fantastic. I though I would miss the top lcd but heck ...

Oh no I'm being stupid again the D3000 doesn't use the same sensor, sorry :oops: It's a Sony sensor though so there is a camera out there with the same sensor, Nikon use Sony a lot and of course Sony does. Nikon D5000 is probably the one. Or probably not :? Will get back on this :oops: ...

K20D and 50mm FA 1.4 problem
Merry Christmas Everyone, Have a little problem and wonder if anyone knows a solution. My Pentax FA 50mm 1.4 lens seems to have a problem focusing to infinity. It can focus on anything else and seems sharp but when I go beyond it's 10mm mark it just doesn't want to lock. K20D just has a flashing ...
