K-5 Sensor Stain - Grey Imports..!!
He probably meant that any being sold *now* with sensor stains are grey imports. The first cameras were official UK stock but they should all have been taken out of the system for refurbishing by now, as dealers (especially Pro ones) would have sent them back to Pentax when the recall was announced.

Kr Review, undeserved bashing???
There was no "K-r bashing" that I could see in their conclusions - in fact, it seemed a very fair appraisal. In what way did you think they were bashing the camera, jules? Well I suppose I'm being old fashioned here, I guess I'm seeing as being bashed for just being a Camera and not a fully fledg...

Kr Review, undeserved bashing???
I've just read the review and its only served to convince me that I'm fine with my KX (yes I'd have liked the high res screen and visible focus points) and now I have a full range of lenses I'm looking forward to my next trip abroad in May. Having only got into Digital SLR's this last year, (5000...

Kr Review, undeserved bashing???
Conclusion - Pros Good detail and color in JPEGs at base ISO (ok, nice) Good high ISO performance (might say "best in class") Compact dimensions for a DSLR ISO range up to ISO 25600 (again, might say best in class) 6.0 frames per second continuous shooting is class-leading (ah, finally) ...

How many people have needed to calibrate lenses - K20d/K5?
I am in a similar position to Mannesty. I have had a go at calibrating lenses on my K20 more out of curiosity than necessity. I have not been able to improve the focus of any of my lenses though.

How many people have needed to calibrate lenses - K20d/K5?
All my lenses have been spot on, and that means a lot of lenses. My two month old 10-17 has only been used for very close work and not a great deal of that but this week I took it to a high spot overlooking London and saw it auto-focussing on distant buldings to the 0.5 metres point. Whether I us...

How many people have needed to calibrate lenses - K20d/K5?
For distance stuff the 10-17 does indeed have a wide DOF. But for close ups, where it excels it's definitely worth checking and calibrating it. My 10-17 has needed calibration at very close distances on all my cameras. I first noticed it when I left for a shoot one day with the 10-17 attached to...

There is such enormous DOF that focusing should not leave anything out of focus. It's a very sharp lens indeed, so something must have happened to yours, such as a serious knock. Or a manufacturing fault

How many people have needed to calibrate lenses - K20d/K5?
One thing to remember is that for those who use manual focus most, or all, of the time, their lens/body calibration will 'appear' to be accurate. The available adjustment is for auto focus inaccuracies and apparently doesn't affect manual focus.

How many people have needed to calibrate lenses - K20d/K5?
Yes, my lenses focus where they should, but that doesn't mean you can't or shouldn't check yours. None of this will help if the dioptre adjustment on the viewfinder isn't set properly first, and that's where I would always start. Point the camera at a blank, defocused area (sky, white wall, etc.)...

How many people have needed to calibrate lenses - K20d/K5?
Posting shouldn't be a problem. The lens may have been faulty from the beginning, but to be sure just take some shots outside in good light at a variety of distances. It you're not happy, contact SRS. I know I should have done this before posting but I have ventured into the garden in the rain and u...

Memmory rip off?
There are a lot of variables with memory cards. A Sands Ultra isn't that fast a card anymore. Reading back after shooting in continuous is often slow as the buffer has to empty first. The other things you also pay for are reliability and warranty. I have had lots of 'cheap' miniSD and microSD ...

Shoulder Straps
Some pics of the JJC NS-J1: The plate is ABS and the clip seems strong with a very positive spring By altering the position of the plate you can get the camera to hang the way you want - just reaching back slightly puts your hand in exactly the right place for a 'quick draw'. Here I've cha...

Shoulder Straps
I can see an 'Opteka Professional Wrist Grip Strap' on Amazon for £7.95 - asnyone know if this is worth it? I have something very similar and I swear by it. Makes it much more relaxing to hold the camera in one hand with your hand dangling by your waist. Because of the strap across the back of your ...

K20D Focus Mode Lever Question
Hi all, Can any K20D owners please answer me the following question. When you move the focus mode lever should there be a 'click' between each focus mode? The reason I ask is because I have bought a gripped K20D off a guy at work at a price I just couldn't refuse. When I move the lever f...
