K5 Price?
It's funny you say that as every Pentax I've owned has had to go back for one thing or another , even this KM had to have a New board fitted Having lived in France for six years I have some advice. Never buy anything in France. Customer service is an alien concept here. I would not hesitate to...

K5 Price?
Phox don't seem to sell online - so you would need to visit France to buy one - which puts the price up, even from Kent. Presuming its a Pentax cash back thing I would say it would be through the majority of Europe like the last couple. Don't think they would do anything for a month or two though...

K5 Price?
I don't have a camera at the moment and am getting increasingly fed up about that. I could wait and see if they come up with something, but who knows? The prices could even go up again given the state of the yen and the dollar at the moment. I take back what I said the other day about hardly anyone ...

Samsung GX10 cracked LCD - repair?
Some clumsy oaf (cough) plunged his big size 10 on top of my camera bag containing my Samsung GX10. Luckily, the only damage is a large crack all across the LCD screen on the back. I'm guessing that there is a plastic cover in front of the LCD screen istelf, because the LCD seems to be working perfe...

Samsung GX10 cracked LCD - repair?
Replacement back covers shouldn't be too expensive (IIRC, I picked up a new one for the *ist-D for around £6), but replacing it may be tricky... it might just be bonded to the back with some thin double-sided sticky. You might try phoning Asahi Photo - I have found them exceptionally helpful ;) ...

Should I get the K-r?
Hi all First post so please bear with me.. I used to have a Nikon D60, loved the pictures I got but sold it about 6 months ago for a micro 4/3rds camera thinking that a smaller system would get taken out more. I did take it out more - and found that I always had it on hand to take lousy pictures (...

hello, looking for some information.
One thing to keep in mind is that all those lenses are manual focus. Nothing wrong with that, I use older manual focus lenses all the time, but modern dSLRs are much less easy to manually focus than your Mum's Program A. I'd make sure you get one of the "kit" lenses with the camera so that she can...

hello, looking for some information.
Welcome to the forum Johanna. As far as buying goes, definitely my vote goes for SRS. I bought my K10D with kit lens from them and it arrived the next day (no charges for forum members). They also have used gear which they warrant for 6 months, just give them a call. If your mum has plenty of P...

AF Calibration on the K20D
Hmmm you don't need to hack your k20D at all, AF Calibration is standard feature on the K20D. Read the manual I would say. The check your calibration there are some tests chart you can print out or some use some Lego :mrgreen: Put the camera on a tripod and make sure you've something with a lot...

AF Calibration on the K20D
When you adjust the focus, you should always work with the diaphragm wide open (smallest f: number) to make sure your results aren't "screwed up" due to depth of field.:idea:

AF Calibration on the K20D
Haha, I was using custom 35 as a sharpness enhancer, instead of under function - sharpness. No wonder I was getting soft focus.

AF Calibration on the K20D
[quote:3496ace15f="Smeggypants"]however invoking the Debug menu is very easy. simply write a text file called MODSET.442 into your DCIM folder on the SDHC card. The file should contain the text [OPEN_DEBUG_MENU] I'm afraid that is not correct. The MODSET.442 file should be in the root folder of t...

AF Calibration on the K20D
I bought a Pentax 55-300. The focus is just so much better. But I havent given up on the Sigma 70-300 APO yet. I bought a focus chart, and will perservere a little longer. May be keep the Sigma as a second lens, for those bad weather days.

AF Calibration on the K20D
Regarding AF adjustments on the K20 - perhaps the K7 as well - The AF adjustment through the MODSET function adjust the AF globally. I have one lens that I could not bring into focus through the function settings. All of my lenses needed a + 9 or better to bring them close to accurate focus. I...

AF Calibration on the K20D
By using the 50mm f1.2 may be the problem. Whilst I don't have that lens, I have encountered severe focus shift (back focus) on some Sigma fast primes (30 and 50mm). This phenomenon is also suffered by some Canon and Nikon lenses as well. For that reason, I check the focus adjustment of my fast len...
