Pentax K-5 Autofocus System
It is an interesting too: http://store.redrockmicro.com/Catalog/DSLRRigs but I hope a company such as Novoflex :) Glad I clicked that link I've been thinking about rigging up something where I can quickly switch a lens between two ( or more ) preset focal distances. I've been getting int...

Pentax K-5 Autofocus System
Some Kiron Zooms have a Zoomlock and stops to limit the focus between two points.

Pentax K-5 Autofocus System
Would have to say though smeggy as a fairly new photographer (can I call myself that :|) I have found myself very easily distracted at times (sunrise sunset snow etc) now I'm looking at the world with a photographers eye. I've had to catch myself on a few times when I checked myself. I would think...

Pentax K-5 Autofocus System
Just seen this thread. As a fully qualified driving instructor I can tell you that if you use the above and you are caught it will be a straight £60 fine and 3 points on the licence. No matter what it is, if it causes a distraction and makes you move your hands away from the steering wheel or make y...

Pentax K-5 Autofocus System
What about if you selected a small aperture, manual focus at preset range and hyper focus? Use, is it the TaV mode? You set a fast shutter speed to get rid of any blur, a small aperture to maximise DOF and just let the camera set the ISO to match? At least with the K5 if it selects a uber high ISO y...

Photokina report
Good news about the K5 focus speed. I won't be getting one any time soon but if it shuts the moaning minnies up I'll be happy :D K.

Don't feel bad Gwyn... I misplaced a memory card last week.... Gerri had laid out a book for a boudoir customer and dropped it onto a card for me to take to the pro lab for printing. I got to the city... no card...:shock::shock::shock: clients not so clothed images in the wind....:shock::shock::...

No Gwyn, I am in a genuine quandry. I could be just finding the reasons for not spending the money:x:roll: Re your comment about focus performance - was there very much difference between the new lense and the other one you tried:?:

K-7 slow to process RAW images after installing firmware 1.1
It is worth the update, phase detection focus in Live view for still and video have been significantly improved! It is now almost as fast as using the contrast detection method in live view which brings the mirror down then back up! Also, focus on half button press helps usability a lot for me. ...

K-7 slow to process RAW images after installing firmware 1.1
I have just updated the firmware to V1.1 and have the same problem as Wadna. Unfortunately I can still only shoot 4 frames in continuous, after a reset. Also, after performing the reset, several of the menu items I had changed since getting the camera had not actually reset to defaults: in fact, the...

K-5 HDR function
If the HDR is like the one implemented in the K-7 it might leave you wanting more. I've not been happy with it out of the camera but I may be expecting too much ( and I'm prejudiced against it anyway) I would suggest just going for a 3 spread bracket and HDRing them if they don't produce. HDR ...

K-5 Liveview focus looks impressive
Apologies if this has been posted already... This video of the K-5 performing AF in liveview is very impressive. Ok, granted here's lots of light on the subject, but the extremely adjustable af target point & speed of the contrst detect system is very promising indeed.

K-5 Liveview focus looks impressive
As an afterthought, if this AF system is useable in lower light conditions then Pentax would do well to get into bed with a leading EVF manufacturer & get a mirrorless K-mount system to market a.s.a.p. An even smaller system coupled to the da ltd's would be an attractive proposition to everyone, ...
