K-7 focus adjustment
Will, I used same method as Smeggy. Shoot wide open with each lens, so minimum DOF. A 12 inch ruler set on edge (here comes the blue tac again), on a table top, near a window, with the ruler at about 30 degrees to the camera and set about 3 feet in front of camera (on tripod), focus on the 6 i...

K-7 focus adjustment
Hmmmm... I might give that a go here and now, got an hour or so to spare this evening. Thanks for the link... no problem. i posted about it on dpreview too. it's really a sensible idea. i have no idea why people bother with lens align etc. when, in my opinion, you get something with as good an ac...

K5 PEF or DNG?
For what it's worth, both formats don't work properly with UFRAW. DNG has a bar at the right hand side with mostly pink colors and PEF gives an error :( Back to Windows again :evil:

KR or KX?
My 17 year old son has decided to move on from his compact and is looking to get a DSLR to expand his creativity. I was just wondering what the thoughts were regarding him getting a Kr for £459 (inc £70 cash back) or the Kx for £349? Any thoughts appreciated. Andy

K5 first impressions
Ordered yesterday, arrived today! Thanks SRS! Only played with it for 20 minutes, so far it looks simply awesome! My favourite bits so far (note I am upgrading from a K20D): 1. My Tamron 17-50 focuses much quicker. Possibly as much as twice as fast. (remember the K20D is already slower than a ...

K5 first impressions
1. My Tamron 17-50 focuses much quicker. Possibly as much as twice as fast. (remember the K20D is already slower than a K7). Part of it seems to be that the screwdrive is more powerful, and partly it doesn't seem to need to fine-tune the focus at the end like the K20D did. Do you mean the double foc...

I don't know really, it just seems to have less fiddling around at the end of the focus turn. It's quite a bit faster, that's about all I can say for sure :)

The K10D does that as well, it's the double focus check. Pentax is one of the few if not the only one that use it these days. I haven't hear complains about AF accuracy problems with the K5 so it seems to be doing well.

both my K20S and K20D exhibit a sort of mini-hunting once the AF has got 99% of the way there. The K10D does that as well, it's the double focus check. Pentax is one of the few if not the only one that use it these days. I haven't hear complains about AF accuracy problems with the K5 so it seems...

Many thanks for your comments and suggestions. Nice to know who to call at SRS as it is always my way of calling up front anyway before placing an expensive order just to make sure that I get the right stuff. As for the Kit price, that's was about the region I was thinking of (£300 to £350) cause o...
