Film Versus Digital
We shouldn't discourage anyone from using film - it enables various things to be done that may or may not work out in a similar way on digital. Sometimes effects can be found by accident when playing with the chemical route. But to go back to film, exact emulation of a film/developer combination ...

Film Versus Digital
See, I actually regard the developing and scanning as part of the fun of shooting film. I use an Agfa Rondinax tank so I don't need a darkroom, and can have a film developed and scanned within a couple of hours (most of which is spent waiting for the negatives to dry so I can cut and scan them). ...

Film Versus Digital
Relative to income, photography has become much cheaper for the average person over the last fifty years, let alone the previous fifty, even taking into account the digital revolution and the seemingly high setup costs. This was the main issue that the OP was raising, I think, even though the threa...

Time Laps - Pentax K-x
Sorry to take so long to check back. It's been a busy time. I think I've sorted out the problem. Firstly the power off was set for 1 minute, so .I disabled that. Still didn't work after that. As I was only playing around I hadn't set to save the photos, so the buffer was filling up, with no...

A price check query
Hello all, Been away from here for a long time, and I'm afraid this will only be a short return, as I'm about to turn to the Dark Side for various reasons - sorry about that... but I thought I'd give people here the first chance to paw over my stuff before offering elsewhere or even the dreaded ...

K-5 Over-Exposure with flash
I only received my K-5 yesterday so it may be that my problem is due to unfamiliarity. If I use the AF-360FGZ flash unit it seems to expose correctly using PTTL if the flash is pointing towards the subject but if I bounce the flash off the ceiling or have it at 45 degrees angle with a STO-FEN typ...

K-5 Over-Exposure with flash
I'm surprised that people are using such high ISO values with flash. It is probably more to do with the fact that the camera just sets everything for ambient light in auto. So unless you go through the process of setting everything to manual, you end up with a camera that sets shutter speed and iso ...

K-5 Over-Exposure with flash
I've occasionally encountered this bug too, although only a few times. I don't use flash much so I just switched to manual and took another shot, but if I used it a lot this would be very annoying. There is also another flash bug on the K5 which has been . It's even weirder, the flash overexpos...

K-5 Over-Exposure with flash
The one saving grace is that you see the problem on the camera's rear screen. At least we dont have to pay for ruined films. I take note of John's comments and greatly respect the experiences of the professionals on here. However there is somewhere an issue that needs Pentax to address. I agr...

K-5 Over-Exposure with flash
Am I using the best default settings, I wonder? Probably not for functions ;) :D One of the main arts of flash usage is balancing the light between ambient and flash. Often this is where my expectation of the balance is quite different to the camera's idea :P There are really simple ways of tell...

Pentax k5 vs k10d Grandson vs Grandpa
In good light, the K10 is a fine camera. In anything else, the K5 walks all over it. Bret Although having owned a GX10 for 3yrs and a K-5 for only a few months and shots, with the same lenses I fully with Brett's sentiments on both cameras - I am hanging on to the GX10 as a backup, but I would not w...

Pentax K10D slanting pictures
I also recently had the tilt problem on my K7 (still just under warranty). On talking to Pentax technical, they told me to return it for repair. It came back from JP servicing with a note saying it had been 'repaired and calibrated, but no details as to what the problem was. It is fine now though...

You are not alone. This happens alot. I took mine in with the same problem and the Pentax tec. tapped it on its side and it came back on. Just tap it and put a battery in it and start shooting. I googled it and we are not the only ones with the problem. Just crummy product at a premium price.

No replacement but it's back after just 7 days and in perfect working order (I hope - seems that way) ! The shop didn't know what the issue was as Pentax didn't say ... just that it was a simple fix.
