K10 questions...
I have the k10, and have never felt compelled to hack mine, the focus seems fine even with the 50mm 1.4 wide open... if yours ain't broke, don't try fixin it....:wink:

K10 questions...
My K10D also needed a severe adjustment to get it to AF accurately. Also severe backfocussing as it needed around a +210um adjustment. . You can take a few shots at your widest apertures and see if you camera is front or back focussing or not. Do this in daylight. And there's no harm in entering...

K5 - decent price, anyone used UK digital
I've used them a few times, going back a while though. Last purchase was a pair of Minolta neg scanners. They even did a VAT refund. Best regards

I was begining to doubt the K-5
Got my K-5 in early November, had a rude awakening during the first week at a gig where I took 700 shots and 95% were out of focus :shock: I put that down to horrific lighting and my not having bonded with the camera. Anyway I did a bit of testing and found that the af wider than f/2.8 was shall we...

I can't see the exif (if its there) on this machine but you need to consider your metering settings. Why ISO80? Number 3 is best of the set but no. 1 looks well clipped. Just looking at the first shot, you have quite a large contrast variance to capture and the sunlight on the daffs would have me...

I was begining to doubt the K-5
Hey guys, I have to admit I do get a lot of out of focus shots seemingly for no reason even with firmware 1.03 abduction in all sorts of light, not just tungsten, and I'm pretty certain its not user error. Do you think its worth me contacting srs? I shoot with the 31ltd at 1.8 and it just seems that...

I was begining to doubt the K-5
I'd love to hear your thoughts on the katzeye, does it affect AF in anyway? I have a Katzeye in my K20D and it transformed how I use the camera. I must take 90% of my images with manual focus older glass now. The K50/1.2, M100/2.8 and K135/2.5 being my favourites although at the moment I am going ...

I think my eyesight must be going. I hate to say this but they still look a bit out of focus/soft to me? What do others think?

. With regards Katzeye, I ordered on a Friday night and received 9 days later. Just under £150 all in. Did you have to use shims or does it focus perfectly out of the box? Giorgio

I was begining to doubt the K-5
Because digital sensors only see about f/1.8 regardless of how wide the lens is I have seen similar claims before, but no satisfactory proof that such a phenomenon exists. If we let more light in, how can a sensor or film not see it? It was quite well covered by a thread on here a few months back. S...

High ISO in low light vs bright light
I nearly always shoot in raw. I understand what you are saying. If light is short then under exposing and pulling it back in post processing will then bring up more noise. probably the case in my examples because when shooting wildlife I need to keep the shutter speed above a minimum to avoid focus ...

K10 beats K7, at least on some points..
As the old saying goes; there are lies, damned lies and statistics. The image quality is almost certainly measured at base ISO, where you would generally expect a CCD sensor to be superior to CMOS. At higher ISO ratings the CMOS sensor will come into its own. Ditto dynamic range. The viewfi...

K10 beats K7, at least on some points..
this is why I never upgraded to the k7 or k5..... the majority of my work on the k10's is with studio flash.... so I get the most the camera can give, quality wise.. I felt the image quality on the new models to not be a huge jump over what I was getting witht he k10's... that was really lucky for...

These camera reviews are getting dafter and dafter :shock: That's the first time I've ever seen anyone mark down a camera for only having ONE Storage Slot :shock: :lol: It's like saying don't buy that pair of trousers because they only have three pockets :shock: The one storage slot actually g...

K-r focus screen
Not sure how it happened but over the weekend - the focus screen on my K-r became very badly gunked with 3 or 4 really very bad black marks on it - looks almost like the dreaded mirror damper gunk you can get on an old SLR screen. I intend removing it at the weekend and carefully trying to clean ...

K-r focus screen
You can replace the screen with the genuine Pentax part.

don't know how to explain
anywho... indoors, zoom lens.... you need to go with a higher iso to get good shots..... even with your 70 ltd you may find your indoor/poor light shots come out with too shallow a depth of field.... and may look soft or out of focus... you still need to up the iso... you picked a good camera and ...
