Remotes for K20D
- £2.61 delivered from hong kong. I got one, can't fault it. (can fault Pentax for not putting a receiver on the back, though!)

Remotes for K20D
Flossie - the K20D does have a receiver on the back. I have the remote F. The E will work too.

Remotes for K20D
[quote:3496ace15f="PeteL"]I have the remote F which i keep with my spare memory cards and takes up very little space. But my favourite is this The Seculine Twin 1 R3 which can be used both as a cable release or as an Infra Red release with a range of 50 metres with Pentax and Nikon Camera`s and 25 ...

Remotes for K20D
Just got to work out how to get it to auto focus and job done. Any ideas on this one. Thanks again. Andrew Somewhere in the guts of the menus there is an option of "allow AF with remote" (not sure of the wording, have a hunt through the menus). K.

Pentax K10D firmware
As I recall from my K10D, you have to update to version 1.3 (I think) if you wish to use the SDM focussing which is integral to the DA* lenses and becoming more common on others (such as some of the Pentax-fit Sigma zooms). Without the upgrade the lenses are effectively manual focus I think as they ...

Pentax K10D firmware
Without the upgrade the lenses are effectively manual focus I think as they don't have an alternate screw-type drive. After the firmware upgrade they work just fine:) Some of the earlier DA* lenses (such as the infamous 16-50 and 50-135) do indeed have a backup screw drive slot. In fact there have b...

A2 prints fromK7 vs K10D
A1 size? More like the size of the side of a house. Actually there's a theory that the pixel count doesn't matter once you pass a certain point, say 5 mega pix. The reason is that the larger the print, the further back you stand - so while you peer at a 6x4 inch print, you stand several feet awa...

An acquaintance of mine wants to but a DSLR and has a budget of around £4000 to £5000. He has always been interested in Photography and wants to take it up as a serious hobby, but has no definite objective - landscape, wedding, wildlife, portrait could all be there He had initially considered ...

I agree with John. Besides which it's topo easy to focus on camera and lenses and forget about filters, tripods, bags, software, etc which make up the bulk of purchases if not price. In fact my suggestion for a beginner would be a K7 and a 40mm prime. Learn how to shoot first, then get better g...

I think perhaps your friend should buy an MX, a 50mm lens and shoot some velvia. Take a bit of time and explore the camera and get to understand what is involved. £5000 is an unbelievable amount to spend to start out. If he were to push the boat out he could maybe buy a 24mm lens, an 85mm for port...

My point was that rather than laying out loads of cash, it is probably best to take some time and learn the skills required to use any camera. I still think that is best done with an entirely manual camera. That camera could be film or digital. Obviously you do not have to pay out for film and pr...

Where can I get an OEM K-m focussing screen?
My ebay screen turned up. It doesn't work (completely out of focus, adding the shim made it worse). Now I have an original screen with two scratches on and a load of fluff. HELP! Anyone know where I can get a replacement original screen, or alternatively how much Pentax Service would be likely to...

Where can I get an OEM K-m focussing screen?
After my experiences with the cheap ebay focussing screen I am not inclined to fiddle around any more, I just want my camera back the way it was. The VAT, duty and Parcelfarce admin charges would be horrible on an imported split screen costing over £18. I really think Pentax would be on to a win...

Where can I get an OEM K-m focussing screen?
I've now ordered an OEM Kx screen from them (should fit, the Km uses the same body) with a view to reverting to standard. The split prism is just too dark when you use something like a polarising filter, and I'm not sure that the focus is much more accurate than using the MK1 eyeball. This time,...
