slide fim does not either, hence my recommendation that everyone should shoot at least one slide film in their lives, just to see how good their exposure technique and compositional skills really are. I shot one slide film in my life. Composition: Not too bad Exposure: Dreadful. Hopeless. ...

I do have some interesting sequential shots with very different exposure when I swapped between that lens to the 12-24 though...need to look at them in detail though when I'm back at the computer, it could be quite revealing. Ah. I've sussed this by reviewing the shots on the camera and the helpful ...

Can’t really help with the focus issue, as I’ve set my (now slightly dented) K20D to focus only on the back button, and manual focus when needed. However as regards the clipping, I use spot metering most of the time where clipping/blown highlights are likely to occur. Meter off the brightest ...

I spoke to Asashi on the phone a few days ago (about a lens I aquired), and they were very helpful. As they are only a few miles away from me, I went round there - its basically a technician working in the back of a shop. Very helpful, knows his stuff, and I could well end-up with the bargain of the...

Sorry Mike, took them a few days to reply. They have, and been very helpful, so will send my camera next week before I go back to work (in Libya). Hopefully all will be OK, will update either way. Paul

... Interestingly (but unrelated) apparently they have been waiting over 3 months for replacement SDM motors for various dead DA* 16-50's. There's probably all sorts of speculation you can read into that... Not what I wanted to hear :roll: - I have just about made up my mind to go for a DA*16-50mm ...

An update on my K20D Repair, sent to Asahi Photo for repair at the beginning of September. I've now got it back, took a while but I cant fault Asahi Photo, If I had pushed for a speedy repair I feel sure I would of received it earlier but being away for six weeks a speedy repair wasn't a priority. ...

I used Asahi Photo Ltd to clean the sensor on my K10D. I drove down from Cambridge and made it there for around 4:15pm. I went back after 5pm to pick the camera up. He had held the shop open for me and had done a fantstic job of cleaning tee sensor. I was happy and my clients were happy with the...

Dirty Sensor
As with most, if not all cleaning products, I believe that the lollipop is way over priced; then again last year I paid £35 to get my then K100D cleaned in a camera shop, total waste of money that was. precisely like you said. I've an artic butterfly but that's still going strong after more then a ...

Focus like for video? Newbie advice
Focus like for video? I am used to using video cameras, ( I run a small video production company) and the standard practice for ensuring focus is to use manual focus, zoom in on the subject, find your focus and then zoom out to frame up. We very rarely use autofocus. The focussing screen on our vid...

Focus like for video? Newbie advice
Modern zoom lenses for still cameras don't necessarily hold focus very well when zoomed, so the technique may not work.

Focus like for video? Newbie advice
The technique you describe is , but I'm afraid there is no similar adjustment avaiable on SLR zooms. Probably because 99% of users would just make a terrible mess of it! Its not the easiest of thing to get right at all times, even for professional cameramen in a studio, and they constantly have ...

With live view you can actually zoom in. Don't know if that helps with focusing and if you can do that with video though. But it's an suggestion :)

With live view you can actually zoom in. Don't know if that helps with focusing and if you can do that with video though. Digital zoom: You can do that with video, but only before the recording, not during. It is the best method for accurate focusing when practicable. It illiminates any AF/focus...

WANT TO REPLACED DEAD BATTERIES
Hi Since acquiring the Pentax *ist DL2 back in June 2006 I purchased a double set of Panasonic NI-MH RECHARABLES. Just back from using a full set it only gave me four pictures on the DL2 and the spare set only gave me 10 shots. Thus they need replacement and wondering if anyone as suitable ...

Advice re return or repair?
May not apply the same in your case, but have you taken a good look at the lens? I bought a used K20D + 18-55II from a (Canonikon) dealer with a warranty, and the lens would not zoom all the way to 18. When it stopped it stopped "hard" so I thought it must be serious. Rather than take it back, ...
