why pentax is better?
Pentax lenses hard to find? You should tell your friend to remove his "blinkers" (eye shields - used on horses to stop them observing what else is around). As many others will tell you, you can buy a good selection of new high quality Pentax lenses or any Pentax lens from day 1 onwards will fi...

why pentax is better?
It's hard to explain, but the way my K100 felt when I picked it up (in the days Jessops stocked all four main makes) after the equivalent Canon and Nikon made its purchase a no brainer. The other two clearly are good reliable cameras capable of excellent results and have a stroimng following due to ...

why pentax is better?
i switched from Olympus a while back. The main reason was noise issues at high ISO and secondary was that my wife already had a Pentax. I am very happy with the K7 but the Olympus was a great camera too. The ability to use old lenses is a huge bonus as I have picked up some great lenses very cheap...

why pentax is better?
Mike-P There is a look to Pentax lenses. It is the lens rendering that really makes the difference. Even M lenses look good on either film or digital bodies. Others have spoken of (early 70's) lenses being still compatible. All lenses with K bayonet mount can be used on any Pentax K mount SLR. ...

excessive noise
It depends on the image and the output size, if you've a lot of detail you hardly notice the noise but if you have a "flat" surface of one tone you see it quite well. Here is a shot at iso100 unedited also with the K10D. When you look at the part that's in focus you don't see any noise but wh...

K7, should I wait ?
If high ISO is important, I'm not sure the K-7 would necessarily satisfy you. In decent light, I would venture up to around ISO1600 with it (if I had no option), but in poor light I try and keep to a max of 640 or 800 at a pinch. The K20D was a step up from the K10D (although a step back at ISO100...

? - Hoya 52mm HRT Circular Polarising & UV Lens Filter
UV filters don't have much use anymore because the lens coatings and the filter in front of the sensor already cuts UV light so you might be better of not adding another piece of glass but that's something for you to decide. As for the PL, I use it all the time, with a bit of an overcast you can ...

? - Hoya 52mm HRT Circular Polarising & UV Lens Filter
CPL filters affect the capability of the camera to autofocus, particularly with zoom lenses in the higher range. Personally I think it has some effct on exposure as well. Stick with the UV You're describing linear filters, circular would effect the focus and metering just as much as a UV filte...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
I rather like the following quote: Prediction is very difficult, especially about the future. Niels Bohr There were similar K5 rumours in Sweden a few months back, but thats all they were. Just rumours. Cheers, /Ian

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
I'm also happy with the two camera line up although something like the K200D might appeal to some that want something as easy to use as the K-X but want the weather-sealing and the focus conformation in the viewfinder, I think that might work at around the £500 to £600 mark. I don't see a gap to fi...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Why cant they move forward and produce a camera better than the K7,whats the point in back peddling . Will they come out with something worse than the K20 or even the K 10 which are now out of production!, surely the only way to work is to improve on the current top model and scrap the one at the b...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Coming back to possible K7 replacement, nobody has mentioned a swivel LCD in their wish list. Not like the Nik variety, but similar to the one on the Optio 750Z (which I think is still one of the best Compacts around). But also I would be happier if they got the basics right first (like faster a...

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
It's very secure once folded away. Are you careless with your kit Stefan? ;) Another option would be to put a colour lcd screen on the top plate! You only need a small display to check composition and it could show focus confirmation.

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Stefan, the Nikon screen is basically a copy of the Fuji S9000 bridge implementation some years back now. A good effort but the Oly version is much more flexible.

rumor of Pentax K5 ???
Not happy with the direction Pentax are going, but hey, if I don't buy into the new stuff, it won't bother me. I remember back in the 1980's when I had a Super A and Pentax introduced the SFX I said exactly the same thing. Back then I just did not see the need for autofocus and thought the SFX was a...

I remember back in the 1980's when I had a Super A and Pentax introduced the SFX I said exactly the same thing. Back then I just did not see the need for autofocus and thought the SFX was an ugly looking thing. I do find the SF and Z series cameras particularly pug ugly no matter how well they do...

k7 af system
The K7 is also the only Pentax with an extra sensor for the AF that adjust the AF to the type/colour of light so that it is more accurate. And also you can adjust the AF of 20 lenses (right?) if one front or back focus.
