Auto focus speed K5 vs K20d??
Have since sold the Pentax and bought another Sigma because I couldn't. Are you still happy with this decision or do you miss the DA* at all? infact the only lens slower is the 55mm where I find it quicker to leave it in the middle and run back or forward to focus. :lol::lol::lol:

Auto focus speed K5 vs K20d??
17-70mm is faster to focus than the 50-135mm. But the DA*50-135 doesn't hunt which i hear is a problem sometimes with the DA17-70.

But that wasn't the question was it, as usual you are just complicating things Stefan. Mhuni has the 17-70mm and just wanted a comparison between the two with regard ...

Auto focus speed K5 vs K20d??
And here i'm complicating things and not reading things well... He didn't say specifically the AF speed, i know this is the big factor in this topic but the way Mhuni asked the question looks like he wanted a more general answer or not, with word like "behave"... Smeggy, I was wondering about th...

Stefan, the clue is in the words: "I was wondering about the AF comparisons" G

Auto focus speed K5 vs K20d??
Thanks for the feedback everyone. Interesting to know that your preferred choice is the 60-250, Mike. I thought the AF was as bad, if not worse, than the 50-135 on this lens.

Had the change to test the DA*200, DA*300, DA*60-250, DA*55 and the Sigma 100-300 today and i've the DA*16-50 and the DA*5...

Pentax K-5 v1.10 Firmware
Pretty poor release note from Pentax. Unfortunately this is their standard. Someone should really get on the ball at Hoya and realise the importance of explicit documentation and timely firmware releases. Each one is the occasion for promoting the product line, but they prefer to sneak them out the ...

Pentax K-5 v1.10 Firmware
So after having my K5 fixed it came back not with 1.03 installed (the condition I gave it to them in) but 1.01. Now there is this release, I'm assuming that the latest Firmware release will always include all the previous ones too ? 99% sure they will but can someone confirm that other 1% ? Cheer...

K10D Not Recognising Lens
You did not give any detail about the SMC 70-200... I suspect it is a manual focus lens, and does not have the proper connection to the camera to transfer lens information such as aperture etc. It will work fine, but you will have to use the camera in manual mode, as well as manual focus mode......

K10D Not Recognising Lens
Sorry, I believe that it is this lens and does have auto focus etc http://www.pentaxforums.com/lensreviews/showproduct.php?product=208&cat=44 Ah yes. Then I imagine the 'A' setting is necessary for the camera to detect and set the aperture as suggested by Pentaxophile... My quick response was...

K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
I posted this poll in another forum and thought I would get feedback here as well. Trying to get a sense of what kind of shooters are out there. I rarely use my camera indoors and so even if I had a front focusing issue on my K-r (assuming it was confined to indoor light) it would not be a facto...

K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
The question is presuming there's a problem by stating "does the problem affect you?" whereas I found no problem when I tested the K-r. It focused exactly where it should. I'm sure others will comment in due course. John, yes....the question is presuming. Since the question is pertaining to the ff ...

K-r front focusing "relevance" poll
I love my KR and I keep posting photos (in the Portfolio on here)taken with it since I bought it before my mid May trip to Greece. My 55 to 300mm DA ED lens hunts sometimes requiring use of the quick focus ring but that's that lens for you. I believe the autofocus to be vastly superior to that...
