Kx or Kr anyone?
Hi Graham I've had a similar photographic journey to you. I've got a K10D and kinda fell out of love with it because of the weight and, until recently, unresolved back focus issues. I even went outside the fold completely and got a Panasonic Lumix LX3 which I used almost exclusively for a while. ...

Pentax K-r fault
It might seem odd that I say this but bear me out, the best things that could've happened to my DA* lenses was the SDM motor failing, as the lenses came back from JPS better than new. It really is annoying and inconvenient when you have a failure but I am happy to accept a repair. I hope the indiv...

I wouldn't want to have to pay for the cost of geo-tagging (which I would never use) when I buy a new camera. If you can't remember where you took the photos, there's little point in doing photography. Photographs are memories :lol: You can get a Eye-Fi card that transmits back to your laptop.

I've used an Eye-Fi in a K20D for over a year without any problems. Prior to that a K10D and *istDS. I've not tried it in the K-5 yet, but it should be OK. They can't say it's fully compatible if the camera won't let you mark favourites etc. to send straight to the likes of Flickr. There's al...

If you search the US Pentax forum there's a lot of positive stuff about Eye-Fi and no negative. Even some posts from Eye-Fi reps. themselves. I often use mine in the garden and it usually transmits OK or it starts transmitting as soon as I walk into range. I could move my broadband router outside...

I would like to see a proper shutter release socket on the K-x/K-r and the IR receiver mounted in such a way it can be triggered from front or back of the camera. Also mirror lock up on these cameras. Dave P.S - drop proof would be nice - see my topic above!!!

I could probably extend the range with what I've got or even set up another network with a more powerful router (my spare) or even an ad-hoc connection, but it's not really that important at present because the photos load when I go back into the house anyway. Maybe later I might try some remote tri...

can I have the 77 zone meter from the K-7 on my K-5 please? I don't know why they went back to the 16 zone for the K-5, it seems odd. Also, 1/250 flash sync. Oh, and the rather wonderful 51 point fast AF from Nikon in my K-5 too. Finally a far bigger buffer, as if I am shooting 7fps, it tak...

I have been using Geosetter, but it doesn't always get it right when you upload to Flickr...generally works pretty well though. I have started photographing the GPS display when I take aerial shots and using the coordintaes to tag the pictures. It is a bit time-consuming though. As it uses ExifTool...

Help - dropped K-x !!
After a couple of previous lucky escapes in the last two years I've finally done some damage. Apart from the hot-shoe breaking (the flash was on it at the time but thankfully is ok) I think there might be some autofocus issues. It seems slightly out, but it could be the lens not the camera. (55-300m...

Help - dropped K-x !!
Thanks. Tried the hack which works. Not sure if focus is better as it's not far out so will probably take a time to tell. Looks maybe better with test shots though. Great facilty to have all the same.

K-5 Elecronic Level
I suppose if it's off you could allow for it and instead of 1 dot showing set it to 2 or 3 dots whichever is correct. As long as you are never temped to use the horizon correction function :D. My K-7 went the same way, but only in the horizontal plane, in the vertical plane it is fine. However I ...

k5 video and lens aperture
Theoretically you could use one of the older Pentax (K, M or A) wide angle lenses, line up all the orange numbers (aperture set to f8, focus varies between lenses but it's usually the first numbers down from infinity) and have everything in focus from infinity to a couple of metres using this hyperf...

k5 video and lens aperture
the manual lenses are really easy to focus smoothly even without a rig and follow-focus - I saw how shocked my boss was when he saw a section of movie from my M-135 with refocussing as it was extremely easy. The 28 is also extremely good. However, no, you can't always get away without refocussing....

k5 video and lens aperture
Perhaps a rear LCD loupe would help you get that focus? Deep depth of field is a bit boring in video. You'll always struggle with a long lens anyway, even set to f16 the 70-210mm won't have a massive DOF. However, even at f4 you will see the image pop into focus quite well on a longer lens. Slowly f...
