The Future of K5 Prices
Thanks for the pointers to stores who seem to be customer friendly. I will feel mildly guilty if I don't buy from SRS but then I'm sure its not their fault they have increased the price of a product they were offering to me at the lower price and suggesting I rang back a few days later when it was ...

The Future of K5 Prices
To anyone looking at other dealers, your buyers conscience can remain untroubled. SRS back at £949. Presumably a 5% drop in demand has occurred leading to this price rectification. :wink:

The Future of K5 Prices
Now that the light is so much better, I am ok with my K10 at least until October/November, by which time the K5 will undoubtedly be cheaper, and there will be myriad exotic new models on the market. Unfortunately, to me it seems increasingly uncertain whether Pentax can continue their plucky comp...

The Future of K5 Prices
I wouldn't buy even a lens cap from jessops, not after they advertised the 50-200mm for £50, then reduced it to £30, told everyone who'd ordered one that it was on 'Back order', while at the same time announcing "We are no longer stocking Pentax equipment" last year. It took me three months to ge...

If anyone finds a site with the GX ones it would be interesting to see what insight they give into how the cameras are set up. For instance some of the Pentax ones tell you how the exposure meter is checked and to what tolerances. They actually use PS Elements to read the mid-grey value. It shows 11...

There is a lens focus test chart in the back of some of the manuals. I think version 2 is the latest. Not really any advantage of the other test charts though.

Another manual tells you how they check the Green focus diamond using a 50mm f/2.8 macro lens and what the tolerances are. Hi Algi, Can you please tell me which specific manual you are referring to, I would like to read that section. Greg

My word..Canon owners want into the Pentax system....
A while back I had to sell my photography gear (all Pentax) needed a new roof and cash was short Very kind of my daughter to let me use her Canon camera and lenses whilst finances improved a bit. Would like to come back to Pentax, but got a lot more into wildlife photography especially birds a...

My word..Canon owners want into the Pentax system....
...would happily buy a K-5 if Pentax did a lens in that range or even better a 500mm f/4 Sigma currently make a 500/4.5 in Pentax fit - SRS have them in stock for just £3849.99. The Nikon 500/4 is currently available for around the £5800-mark and I'd expect any Pentax made lens of similar specifica...

My word..Canon owners want into the Pentax system....
Thanks for sharing the link to that thread. It sure puts things in perspective to me. To be honest, I've slightly been enticed by the latest Canon offering back in December. All it took for me to realize how wrong I was, was for me to actually hold a Canon camera (550D, then the 7D). Pentax sure ...

Which AA batteries for K-x??
The Energiser Lithiums are very light and very good. I did have to take them out and put them in again over Christmas due to wrong empty reading on camera. I get about 700 a set but do use the screen a lot to review for focus and exposure when on my foreign travels. 7 Day shop do them very cheap ...

Which AA batteries for K-x??
what happens if you then take them out [ call them set A ] , insert set B , finish what you were doing, and then allow Set A to return to room temperature in the house ? Can you then use Set A again ? I'm just curious because I have an Optio P70 that doesn't like cold weather shooting but if ...

Kr for bird shots?
See my Robin taken today on the gallery (uncropped with my new budget Pentax 55 to 300mm) Depth of field is critical and the standard focus screen on my KX not the best when manually fine tuning. Autofocus sometimes slow

Kr for bird shots?
Welcome to the forum Peter and uses a screw drive to work it And so did every body I've use my Bigma on (thats the Sigma 50-500 to newbies) My Pentax 80-320 was also the noisiest most hunting for focus of lenses you could ever hope to possess, niether of them scared birds away, neither did the mi...
