Changing from Analogue to Digital
The K7 is a great camera. At the moment it's the flagship Pentax dSLR. The Pentax K-X is another option if you want to have good high-iso performance. Other than that, your two lenses will work great on any dSLR. Just remember the crop factor though, so your 28-90 will be equivalent to a 42-...

Wheres the KLUNK?
He's gonna ask for a special filter next that puts the marks back on the photos that are missing!

That's it. I'm getting rid of my K-m!
Yes I love it to bits, it's a fabulous gem of a second body. BUT....my manager (who I sit next to at work - he's formally my boss, but we are more like work colleagues) used to shoot a lot on 35mm years ago and has been flirting with the idea of a DSLR for a little while now. We've often talked a...

That's it. I'm getting rid of my K-m!
@Bob, maybe they can simply take the hardware of the K-X and put it inside a K200D body, some might be very happy with such a camera. And then a pro camera like the Canon 7D, Pentax would have a nice 4 camera line up then. However thanks to Pentax's wonderful marketing strategy it's your only op...

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
Hi all, off on safari in September with the 170-500mm Sigma. Any tips on what type of filter I should screw on the end?. Am on a limited budget and did have a cheap 86mm when I bought it which just threw everything out of focus. Any help would be appreciated.

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
I'd spend less money on a secondhand fast prime instead. Something like a 50mm/1.7 would supplement the Sigma really well for landscapes/sunsets etc and be of much more benefit than a filter on front of your lens - just keep the hood on and cap when you're not using it. On safari in Botswana a c...

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
Been twice in the last couple of years. First year's dilemma was which lens. Opted for FA*300 and FA 50mm Macro. No filters just a good lens blower. As for the bag, I used a Currys special as it sat flat on the floor of the jeep and was easy to access the camera when needed (Most of the time) bu...

Pentax K-x: Slow focus!
I owned it briefly and returned it. The battery issue was very bothering. Pentax should have done a better job before releasing. I returned it before the new firmware was release so I am not sure it fixes the problem. Two things I don't like through my limited use. 1)ver slow focus in low light in L...

Pentax K-x: Slow focus!
Using live view the focus tends to be slower. Using the camera as you should via the VF, there is no slowness issue. . . i have used the K-x with a 50-200mm WR indoors for an event and the focusing is spot on. Using an 18-250 lens indoors is not going to help you in low light. That lens's min...

Pentax K-x: Slow focus!
The K-x is a very capable little camera indeed. Pentax has managed to squeeze what is, for this class of camera, an impressive feature set into the camera's minuscule, rather inconspicuous, body and the image quality, especially in low light, is the best we have seen so far in the entry-level bracke...

Pentax K-x: Slow focus!
Have to admit that while I was away I realised that some pics weren't 'straight' so I started to use Live View - and it does seem slower focusing then - not to mention the number of rather loud clicks of things opening and shutting inside . Having said that I would not part with my K-x -- I loooo...

Damn, I should have seen this yesterday :( Send it back and buy this one .. you wont find a better used one that's for sure. I was very picky when looking for it.

:oops: Have to admit that when I first had the K20 I kept going back to the ISD and then bought the K7 at the turn of the year and I am still not happy with it and use the K20 more often than not. It is the view finder that I find hard to get used to, tried magnifier but it is still difficult to see...
