I must confess that I don't take 'the other channel' very seriously. One of my few contributions there led to a certain amount of bewilderment: http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-news-rumors/66180-another-k7-k20d-comparison-test.html :o Hee Hee Crikey that moderator has no sense o...

Did you get yours from Mifsuds, Mike? Has it been them dragging their heals or was it lack of stock? To be fair it was a combination of a lot of things. First of all Mifsuds told me to send it direct to Johnsons and had I done so it would have been a lot quicker but as I purchased it from them I tho...

Looking for partner to *istD - go with newer or stick with old?
I've had the *istDL for a few years now but upgraded to a K10D a while back, for the same reasons you're thinking. I'd go for it as the K10D is great, for me coming from an *istDL anyway. I've still got the DL and take it around for those 'you never know' shots and keep the K10D for the times I go o...

Looking for partner to *istD - go with newer or stick with old?
I'm biased as I waited years before being able to afford a K10 and I haven't been disappointed. The one at SRS seems a decent bet. You'll really notice the difference in build quality. It's also a very nice size and weight, ideal I think with plenty of space on the back for the buttons and wheel...

Focusing Screen and focusing in general with the K-5
Hi all a couple of questions if I may. I tend to have some problems with manual focusing. I seem not to be able to get on with the focusing screen that is in the K-5. Are there any of the 'old style' split screen focusing screens available for the K-5 (that do not cost the world. It seems that 'Ka...

Focusing Screen and focusing in general with the K-5
Would not pressing the 'info' button when in live view to magnify the image do the job? A slower method, of course, but it costs nothing. In a way it would but if you set up macro I like to just adjust the focus and do not touch the camera in any other way. But that's probably just me and a left ove...

Tamron 1.4x TC MC4
...arrived today from New Jersey having won an auction on US eBay 2 weeks ago. Used but in mint condition with box, leaflet, pouch and covers. Slapped it on DA* 300mm and quite impressed, although in low light/low contrast the autofocus is poor but then I was expecting that anyway. Off to Trinida...

kx and k7 both officially discontinued?
[quote:3496ace15f="Don"] but that does not mean Nikon is in the sensor manufacturing business or even the design (although collaborating on the electronics and end use of such a sensor could indeed affect the sensors ultimate design). The first link for the D700/D3 does show that it is a Nikon deve...

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Well, Chris, where do I start? Maybe it's just a feeling, but my computer boots faster and most applications start faster in XP than in Win7. (Running a 2.8 GHz Quad core processor with 4 GByte of RAM). Power management in Win7 caused my system to freeze, having to reboot to get the desktop ba...

battery grip
I have the original because if I spend £1200+ for a K-5 plus WR Lenses I was not prepared to break the weather sealing with a cheap knock of grip plus I got £120 cash back anyway so that was only an extra £80 at the time (also, I have to admit that I was thinking about a third party one briefly at t...

battery grip
Out of interest, what am I risking when using a third party grip? Mine certainly fits firmly enough on the camera. While I can imagine that if you are someone who always uses a grip the original might be worth the investment, for occasional users my impression is that decent copies will suffice. ...

Samsung GX10 - 2x Convertor - What Focal Length Do I Need
Chris, You put in 2x the focal length that you are using - so if you have the lens at 200mm, you put in 400mm. If zooming, then you could choose an "intermediate" value such as 250mm, but I would recommend sticking with the long end - I assume you are trying to increase the effective length of y...

Samsung GX10 - 2x Convertor - What Focal Length Do I Need
Thank you both for the info. I tried 50-200 + convertor again earlier today, after giving the contacts a wipe and the menu didn't come up. I looked on the settings screen menu and the OPS option was greyed out which according to the manual and the internet means that the focal length has bee...

thinking of buying kx
Hi, I am considering buying the k-x and was wondering how much of a problem (if any) people have found the lack of focus lights, never come across this before so don't know how much it will bother me. I do always use the centre point for focusing so I am hoping it will not make much difference. any ...

If you always use the centre point then it should make no difference at all. I believe it still beeps when focus is locked if you want it to anyway.

My experience mirrors those above - I exclusively use the centrepoint, and it does 'beep' when the subject is in focus. The beep also works when focussing manually FWIW. It's a very good camera, no doubt about it.
