Pincette For Focus Screen
Thanks, now my next question is, in which direction do you pull this tab? Or what is the correct procedure for doing this, I don't really intent to remove the focusing screen, I just need to flip it down in order to give it a blow with my rocket blower to clear the small amount of dust I have on it.

Pincette For Focus Screen
I just need to flip it down in order to give it a blow with my rocket blower to clear the small amount of dust I have on it. If you just flip it down and blow, you can send some of the dust up in the pentaprism/pentamirror. Once there, it is next to impossible to remove. You should remove the scre...

Pincette For Focus Screen
If you are nervous about scratching the actual screen, then wrap some sticky plaster around the tweezer points. what RR said :) Pete

Pincette For Focus Screen
Or, if you have read my thread OMG - they hit the floor, you will see another method that not only removes the screen but the dust as well :evil: not recommended but effective.

And no that isn't the way I would want to do it! What I'm really enquiring about is how you release th...

Pincette For Focus Screen
In the middle and down, well that is what I did and I expect to be told now that was not the way. Mind you it may change from body to body, the one I operated on was the K20

Thanks Thordell, I have the K-x, so hopefully it's the same procedure.

*ist model comparison !?
It's all very well detailed on PentaxForums too ! But I just wanted it in a single document, as a table perhaps, rather than having to flit back and forth between pages :)

k20 or kx
I have a GX20 & a k-x, having used both to cover the Glastonbury Festival this weekend, I would & I am looking to swap my k-x for another GX20, due to the high dust at this weeks Glastonbury I just couldn't take it out with me. The k-x is still a fantastic camera, but not for my needs. Pluses for...

k20 or kx
I've never owned a weather sealed body, so of course cannot comment on their usefulness/effectiveness. However IMO if the lenses also aren't WR isn't it like walking in the rain with a WR jacket and no WR trousers? I bought the k-x to use with my DA* 50-135mm for concert shoots, however for festival...

K20D or K7
I am a K20D user and am very happy with it. My nephew is 18 and he is about to buy his first DSLR. Would it be reasonable to recommend him a K20 or the new K7? I am asking this after reading the forum about focus problem and complexity of K7.

I killed a £1299.99 lens ... can it be fixed?
Hello all. All the way from the north of Thailand, I have a question ... and a story to tell. See, a week ago while on the roads of Laos I dropped a DA 12-24mm out of my bicycle bag (my bad). It fell some 30-40cm to the ground, and while visual inspection showed only a small, seemingly uncriti...

I killed a £1299.99 lens ... can it be fixed?
It does sound as though the zoom mechanism might have jumped off its runners, although I haven't fiddled with any modern lenses (just too complex for DIY repair). I bought an old Tokina 28mm a while ago with jammed focusing which turned out to have been dropped at some point - after persuading it ba...

Pentax k2000 - opinions?
K2000 is imported camera from the USA since in the EU and Asia it's called the K-M so I don't know how that will work with warranty if you got one. All in all the hardware in the K2000 is almost the same as the K200D but the K200D has weather sealing, top LCD screen, 11 AF focus points and AF foc...

Shooting video on K-x
I took the K-7 out today and tried some video for the first time. What a joke, couldn't see a thing on the screen .. makes manual focus (video) almost impossible outside imo.

Shooting video on K-x
You can brighten the screen, don't know if that will help :? Doubt it very much, anyway I felt a bit of a plonker holding a gripped DSLR with the Bigma attached up at eye level to the screen trying to focus. :lol:

Shooting video on K-x
i tried video once (with the A 50/1.7) Was amusing doing the pull-focus thing for about 20 seconds, but after that I switched it off and have never bothered since. I borrowed an old DVCam when I needed to record some video for work, and took stills with the Kx at the same time. Much easier all round...

Shooting video on K-x
To do pro video the camera is the least of your worries and the least of your expenses. You need a body mount, stabiliser, boom, mic and digital audio recorder, external monitor, pull-focus rig, lights, reflectors, etc. etc. Ever see a film crew out on location? You will never get the same results w...

Shooting video on K-x
Yes, I know you can shoot video with a DSLR, and people do all sorts of things with Canon 5DmkII's. Apparently the last episode of the US medical Drama 'House' was filmed entirely on 5Ds! You can zoom the display in video mode on a K7 by pressing the Info button, the same as in Live view, this ma...
