K7 - Worth It?
Chris. I actually jumped ship from Sony to Pentax, and have used both the K7 and A700 a fair amount (about 20,000 frames shot with each camera). As far as bodies go, the ergonomics of both cameras are excellent. This is a personal thing. I find TAv in the Pentax invaluable. I can't believe tha...

K7 - Worth It?
Next time he comes on here asking for info and wasting everybodies time can we tell him to push off and not waste our time :roll: Hahaha.... Wait, you're being serious? It strikes me as more than a little self-important to think of this as wasting your time. A question was posed to a forum, no...

Nipper, a couple more details on the body/lens combo you plan on using might be useful for folk to really help. For example, I wouldn't like to rely on AF-C with most Pentax combinations, especially prior to the K20D. You'll perhaps get more joy locking focus either manually or with AF-S on a fixe...

I was hoping to use my tamron 70 200 f2.8 on k5 i know that the focus his supposed to be slow but my first dslr seems pretty quick to me lol, will be able to get pretty close, will i have to be careful with depth of field if i use small apertures ?

I was hoping to use my tamron 70 200 f2.8 on k5 Aha, now you're talking :D You won't have too many issues with that setup, I have the same and AF is pretty good, AF-C is quite respectable too. Aperture-wise it depends what you mean by 'small'. Remember that a small f-number actually means a lar...

actuations.
How long is a piece of string? Why are so many people SOOO hung up on actuations? no point at all. My main reason for asking the question is that Im starting to regret trading my k10 as part payment for my new kr. I may look to buy a 2nd hand model at some point but would like to know how long it...

I'm considering a longer lens for this (I'm presently using a vintage Tamron 80-210 redeployed from my old film kit, with a x2 - which really isn't up to it) and looking at the Pentax 55-300, or possibly the Sigma or Tamron 70-300. What do people recommend? Is 300 long enough? Or would a longer prim...

Hi everyone, Thanks to all of you for your comments and advice. A couple of you have asked for a little more detail on what I'm actually doing (right or wrong). When I referred to the flight line I did of course mean the display area normally across the runway in front of me. In terms of getting...

Hi, Haven't contributed for ages, but fwiw here's my tuppence worth. I went to Waddington, and used my K200D with a Tamron 70-300 lens. I took over 400 pictures, some of which were OK. In terms of framing I found that using continuous shooting mode helped, firing 4 or 5 shots as the planes flew past...

I've recently done Farnborough and Waddington where we've opted for the package which includes a grandstand seat so seeing the action was OK. I don't know Waddington, but I know Farnborough very well, and I'd estimate that the grandstand seating is at least as far back from the fence, as the fence...

The Future of K5 Prices
ha, SRS don't have stock either and are right now fulfilling orders placed over three weeks ago. Yes, the price has dropped a tad, but..... Bret They are still paying the cash back on all the orders placed before the 15th:D, My order went in on the 5th Jan and I thought it would have been with me...

The Future of K5 Prices
I've been hovering, with a bookmark for Camera Price Buster... I didn't start looking until just after the cashback finished or I would have gone for it back then :( I want to replace my GX10, so now I'm just waiting for the price to fall a bit. I *need* LiveView, tethering (via PK Remote)and...

The Future of K5 Prices
See SRS have put their prices up today :? £999 for body only from £975 (was just under £900 when you took the cashback into consideration) There is not a chance I'm going to pay more than the cashback price. The K20D's never fell back to the Cashback price once it ended. If anything they went ...

The Future of K5 Prices
I bought the K-5 when the cashback offer was on. Strange but if one bought the body and lens kit, the cashback was £40 more than the body only. The street price for the body with lens was £40 more than the body. Hence, I got the lens free. Nice one. Yes, the K-5 high ISO is everything it is...

The Future of K5 Prices
I ordered my K-5 from Amazon on Thursday when it was briefly 954, but via a cashback scheme that gives 5%, so 906 in the end. Close enough to my target 900... It is a huge leap over my GX10. Anything at ISO 400 or up is clearly better, particularly due to the nature of the shadow noise. Live V...

The Future of K5 Prices
The K20D was available with Cash Back for around £450 after that it was usually around £570. It might have dropped to around £530 at the end and SH ones were going for about £450.... so don't always assume that prices will come down. :shock:
