Pentax and the PhotoPlus Expo
Linky no work Stefan, except to my email as an address for sending an e-mail :( Preceding that posted by Stefan, there was an[other] exhaustive discource there under the subject; similarly lamenting the perceived impression that Pentax was downsizing focus in the Nth American market region. It...

Pentax cashback
Didn't you get an early adopters price from SRS anyway? It was a little bit less than the advertised price. But others will have bought from SRS and other shops at a higher price and won't get the cash back. It doesn't seem fair for them.

I'm not arguing about what price I paid, it makes no difference how much you pay for the camera you are still entitled to the cashback whether you pay 800 or 1500 pounds for it. Since they only got the camera on the shelves a week or so ago they could back date the cash back to include those who ...

Pentax cashback
Well I do hope that the cashback scheme this time is a little better managed. Look back to an earlier thread discussing the never-ending saga of claiming the cashback last time it was offered. My point is that sometime between the time of initial purchase, and the actual receipt of the cashback, ...

Oh I know that Hyram. It started as a bit of a joke really but things got out of hand. I accept I'm not going to win the cash back argument. But I do get annoyed by everyone sitting back waiting for prices to drop and at the same time complaining Pentax aren't bringing out new lenses, FF camer...

Well you can always return the camera and ask your money back and then get it over 4 days again :) Or just try to send your receipt to Pentax with the cashback offer filled in and see what they say. No hurt in trying right? :wink:

:oops: You are right Stefan. I'm still not convinced they are "Nederlands modellen" as they claim they are - why would de Beukelaer supply them before the biggies who are Pentax premium dealers? Very odd. If they had looked like getting hem around the same time as SRS I would have gone to Urk ...

Battery settings
My first test with GP ReCyko wasen't success. ReCykos run out after few shots so I recgharge them (takes only 2h to) and tried again. Battery light was green at first, but after couple of shots indicator went orange and after a while to red (battery settings was NiMH + firmware 1.01). Now I recha...

Unlocker, I would love 2 bodies but Cash is the problem! Can't afford to buy another K5 until I get my Sorry Arthritic broken backed asthmatic apology of a body back into a job! Sorry digressing :oops: Like I say my choice is keep the K7 that I have trouble liking (Sensor is the only deal here!) Or...

Has anyone got anything to report on the camera it seems to have been over shadowed by all the hype of the K5. Ian let me get back to you on that. I'll be using one for a commercial shoot next week.... will post results shortly after that.

Thanks again guys for the feed back and the links this camera looks to be very good value for the money. Which to be honest realy makes it harder to Make my mind up which model to go for. I hope as said earlier both models might be available shortly in a store to try out first hand. Ian

K-7 DOF Preview
DOF preview was the biggest joke ever..... most people can't even see the bit that's in focus without a split screen viewfinder.... so how can they see where it's going in and out of focus :shock::lol:

K-7 DOF Preview
I find it useful not so much for checking what is in focus but for seeing how much I can stop down (e.g. for reasonable DOF on a macro subject) and still keep the background reasonably out of focus.

K-7 DOF Preview
I am amazed considering the number of people who claim that they can't see when it's in focus wide open. I was referring more to the optical viewfinder rather than Live View. With the lens stopped down to say f/11 it's very difficult to see anything :shock::lol:

K-7 DOF Preview
I've always focussed manually and used to use 6x6 cameras that had no focus aids or DOF previews. I've also focused 5x4 views cameras and enlargers manually I can see when it's in focus, but couldn't pick points where it was only partly in focus :lol:

but couldn't pick points where it was only partly in focus :lol: I agree with you on that but the DOF preview does give you an indication though, at least better then nothing. If i want make a wiseass comment, only the the focus point is in focus and the rest only partly but because they aren't o...
