Advice please
Many thanks for aall the replies and I will certainly try the recommendations you have given. I have bought Scott Kelbys "Digital Photgraphy Boxed Set" which on a quick glance gives a good many ideas. Have also put a couple of photos in the gallery (sport section) which I think came out ok. ...

Pentax K-5 Silver and Silver Limiteds
Has anyone had chance to hold one yet? The only thing that appeals to me about the silver K-5 (enough to justify the ugly silver plastic that is) is the reshaped grip. Perhaps it's actually comfortable, unlike my K-7. It won't be plastic. The K-5 is magnesium Alloy, so will be more durable Howev...

DA & DAL
The DA has a metal mount, Quick-Shift manual focus override and is supplied with a hood. The DA-L (for Lightweight) has a plastic mount, no Quick-Shift and no supplied hood (although you can buy the latter seperately). There is no optical difference between the two.

K3 focusing screen
I'm just wondering if any of you had any experiences using the K3 focus screen from focusingscreen.com. I'm specifically wondering about the K-r. I will probably order one as soon as they restock (god knows when that will be) since Katzeye is a bit too rich for my blood. I was initially decidi...

K3 focusing screen
They won't help the AF system much, but are an aid for manual focusing. It's a personal choice whether your eyes suit split image or microprism aids, or indeed no aids at all, so having a look at some film cameras from the 1970s or 1980s might be a good idea. Microprisms appear to shimmer when no...

K3 focusing screen
@andrew_c: I'll try it without the magnifier. I actually bought it in the first 2 weeks from when I bought the body so I haven't really tried it on my manual lenses without the magnifier. @thoughton: I guess in some way it makes sense to try a cheap focus screen first, but on the other hand it mi...

How WR without a WR Lens ?
I bought a rain cover a few years back for a Sony which I'm going to use it did a good job with it, I had also thought about trying to pickup a cheap 18-55 WR just so I can still get out with my camera in the wet!

Now that Canon have dropped out....!!
Now that Canon have suddenly dropped out of next months Focus on Imaging Show at the NEC, lets hope those Canon users who still bother going look at the Pentax stand and think "Now here's what I should have had".

Now that Canon have dropped out....!!
Cant face been overshadowed by the success of the K5:P hehe :0 Steady on chaps, keep a grip. Wonderful to have a super bullet, but not much good without long reach barrels to fire it through. There may be many sports and nature togs out there that admire the K5 but can't use it as theres no long ...

Cheap Grip Warning!
Anyone thinking of buying a cheap third party grip beware, as mentioned in several threads before the buttons and switches are not up to the Pentax standard. The shutter release button fell off mine the other day:shock: My wife found what appeared to be a plastic stud of some sort and thought ...

K-5 - How accurate can I expect the focussing to be?
Yesterday I ordered a K-5. It arrived today, so after charging the battery I tried a few things just to get a feel for the camera. Mostly they've filled me with confidence, or even exhilaration, compared to the GX10. However, one gripe with the GX10 was that the focus screen was never quite in ...

K-5 - How accurate can I expect the focussing to be?
Hi there :) 1] have you calibrated the AF for your lenses yet? 2] The K-5 has a fault with front focussing in low light using the phase ( regular AF ) while the contrast focus through the sensor ( live view is accurate ) 3] Focus screens can't display a DOF thinner than that from arou...
