Yeah I also wonder about the extra AF points. I suppose for tripod photography it could be useful to not have to recompose all the time. Back in my film days I had an EOS 5, which had this eyeball tracking gizmo which used some kind of light beams to determine which AF point you were looking at ...

It's easier still to readjust slightly using a manual tweak to the focus point. Assuming DA lenses are being used of course.

ISO 100. Spain, eh? Hmmm. ISO 800 for Britain :wink: hehe :) - you're not wrong though K20D: I usually go for ISO400 for general walkabout. And in P mode. It's easy to flick the front or back wheels to force aperture or shutter precedence when required. Lens, I have my Vivitar Series 1 19-35 on....

Cheapest places to buy this lens?
I'm assuming it means taken out of a 2 lens kit? Yes it does, optically the lens will be the same as a standalone, however quite often it will not come with a hood or bag, and sometimes it will have a plastic mount. These lenses are usually appended with an L. That is always true for all the DA L le...

Focusing screen for K20D
Hi, I have a K20D which I mainly use on manual focus. I notice the focusing screen is interchangeable and I'd like to have a more traditional one with the split prism and blurry ring. I've seen do one ($160 with brightness treatment, + post & tax) and wondered if anyone had any experience wit...

I just MAY have too much time on my hands. ;-)
I had my camera repaired recently which included a reset. Its now back to zero. Now, if it was a car that would be illegal:D

Has this been posted, K-m2 and lenses.
Trouble is they are going to have a hard job doing that. The K-x has certainly hit K-7 sales (from what I have seen on the other Pentax forum) so to bring out a middle ground camera that would no doubt have the K-x sensor and a few more bits off the K-7 (weatherproofing and say focus points/top lcd)...

A bit of advice required. (help!!)
Try searching this forum as there are plenty of posts on this very subject. In summary, manual focus lenses remain manual focus, but those with a "A" on the aperture ring will work normally with the K20D as reagrds metering. Eralier lenses (K series and M series) which have no electronic contacts...

A bit of advice required. (help!!)
You can use any Pentax lens - M42 mount lenses need an adapter, of course! KA and later would be best as all exposure functions are available - just set the aperture ring to 'A' and use it like tke the kit lens. Non AF lenses will need to be focussed manually, but will have focus confirmation and...

A bit of advice required. (help!!)
Albert, I can highly recommend using old glass on your K10. I've found you can build up a collection very economically, if that's a factor and it's so interesting bolting on a "new" acquisition and trying it out. When you have to focus manually and (with non "A" lenses) set the exposure manually as...

K200D and Power Zoom
Thanks all, I just sold a Power Zoom lens on eBay and the buyer reported back it was faulty. It turns out that, as we now have confirmed, the problem is that the K200D does not support Power Zoom.

There is also and both have a good reputation (but are more costly). I have a screen for Katz Eye which is excellent and I've just ordered a 'K3 grid' from Focusing Screen to compare.
