pentax k7
Also is there more scope with the K7 to 'match' the lenses to the body? Have heard you can do this with the 'cheat' Russian ware. Is this correct, and i so any assistance in how woud be helpful in the decision. The two main lenses I use are both Sigma, one the 18-250 and the other the 150-500. You...

pentax k7
I upgraded from a K200D to the K7, so here are my thoughts: Size wise the two are almost identical, unless you are comparing them "gripped" as the K7 grip is a lot bigger than the K200D one (should also note that the K7 grip is a lot more useful as far as buttons etc). The biggest initial differe...

AF on K-7 Vs K20D
I've just been doing some comparisons between my K20D and a K-7 and found no significant differences, even in low light (before the focus assist light on the K-7 come on). What lenses have the issue? If they are screw drive, the symptom can often be caused by backlash in the drive system, and dep...

AF on K-7 Vs K20D
A mix I am afraid Richard The ones it really happens on are as follows:- SMC-DA* 50-135 F2.8 Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Tokina 20-35mm F2.8 Plus, very occasionally SMC-FA 50mm F1.4 Sigma 105mm Macro Sigma 55-200mm DC Like I said, it is not all the time, but only on occasion, but when it happe...

AF on K-7 Vs K20D
Well, my k20 needed some AF adjust, and went hunting in low-light... It also had a specific problem with my tamron 70-200 2.8 where it couldn't snap out of close focus : once there, it just did a little focus move on each half-press, but nothing else... I had to either switch to MF, or focus on some...

Camera to PC/Laptop – Reviewing shots
The majority of my photography is now studio based, and I’ve been making do with a compact camera, “hand” syncing the flash units whilst using a half second exposure. I remove the accompanying appalling noise afterwards :wink: So it’s time to get a camera for the purpose, and better quality whilst...

Camera to PC/Laptop – Reviewing shots
Well I’ve cracked it. Remote Assistant was the way to go, but not by using it quite as intended. Under Tools > Options > Auto-save setting – Save in, I put the desired folder path on the computer. And only use RA just to save shots to the computer, easier than trying to look at the camera. Then I...

Camera to PC/Laptop – Reviewing shots
I used the usb lead that came with the camera, it's 1mtr. Shouldn't be a problem adding a usb extension lead to make it easier though. I'll mention just in case - if you a linking to a pc, it may be worth checking out which, or if all ports are usb2 high speed. Usually the ports directly mounte...

instant gratification (K20d) or patience (k-7)
Hey, My broken camera is still stuck in a void. In the meanwhile I have been getting cash together. I have enough for a K20D. however I'm sure with an extra effort I could wait a little and save/get enough for K-7. Is it "instant gratification" and go for the K20D and get on making imag...

K 7 sceen protector.
Took said "unfit for purpose" item back on Saturday. Seems somehow a 2.5" screen protector had been sealed in the wrong packet. Shop changed it for a 3" one.......not a perfect fit but near enough and will suffice for now. Howard

Dropped my K7 !
I had just been taking a couple of night shots at a Railway Station and was walking back to my car with the intention of packing my K7 (Fitted with grip and DA* 16-55) away in the light from my car tailgate. Half way across the road the Camera detached from the tripod and fell heavily onto the groun...

Macro tubes help please
Bojidar Dimitrov has the answer. Most likely you don't have a Digital info contact. The KAF mount features the same six electric contacts as the KA, and thus remains fully compatible with the older mounts. However, in addition to those (electric) contacts, it features a seventh — electronic o...

K-7 shims
Apparently, this has been discussed here before, but I thought I would post my experiences with my K-7 with regards the focus shims and Katz Eye screen. I never knew there were focus shims used for calibrating the focus screens of the Pentax DSLR's. I did know there was a shim for the DS(?), but I t...

K-7 shims
G'Day Lance! That's quite a saga. It appears from your description that it is AF that is in issue here, not focus per se were one to do that manually? Also (knowing you had a K10 and K20), did you discover shims in those bodies as well?
