Pentax O-GPS1 out yet?
I have a Garmin eTrex (about £60) so before a shoot in multiple locations I make sure the K5 and eTrex times are in sync - they always are. Then, when I get back, I open the eTrex track in Google Earth and I can see the exact locations I was in at the time the picture was taken. The thing is abou...

Pentax K200D- as a second body
The k200 is a great camera, check some of my portfolio shots on the site. _but_ after getting a k5, with it's easy control layout, and sublime high iso performance. I think I would have trouble going back to it ( gave the k200 away in the end). A k20 would be a better bet, it's less of a drop fro...

Looking for Teleconverter for D*300mm lens.
Pentax 1.7 converter Just because i am a pedant; The Pentax 1.7 converter will AF with any lens, whatever the age or original focus mode provided it can fit the mount. The Pentax 1.7 converter has a moving element, which fine tunes the focus already set by the main lens. In order to work the ...

Battery Consumption
I've had the same problem, as I hadn't read the manual. I got about a year out of the set of Energiser that came with the camera, and carried some new Duracell batteries ready for when they finally ran out. Got about a week out of them, so I suspected they were duff and put some more in. Over the we...

How do you clean your sensor?
Hi. I want the best option and unfortunately, some dots appear in photos. Then, go back to shop to clean paying £35 again? I think digital sensor get dust quite easily in my experience. Maybe others don't need to clean their sensor that often and I will be wondering how. Thanks.

How do you clean your sensor?
I use a brushless blower. The in camera check screen is useful but you do learn more from an out of focus F22 pic of the sky from time to time. I'm surprised some users only do it rarely. I find outdoors photography invites some dust however careful you are with in the field lens changes. I...

Disassembled my camera to convert to IR...
This morning I decided to convert my old Samsung GX1L to be a proper IR-capable camera. This involves taking it to bits of course, so it was with some trepidation that I commenced unscrewing parts of it. There are about 26 screws (all different sizes) and many ribbon cables (three types of conne...

Disassembled my camera to convert to IR...
Success! The offending cable is now secure, and the camera takes pictures. After some calibration I've adjusted the autofocus to +320 via the debug menu and that gives sharp focus using the centre AF point. Interestingly the Samsung GX1L has 5 AF points instead of 3 on the Pentax *ist DL, so s...

WEll done so far, extreme bravery award follows! Have you remembered to compensate for the focus point of IR light? Unfortunately this will also vary with lens and with the focal length set on some zoom lenses as none of them are corrected for IR light. However, perhaps if you use a prime lens...

Just more testing so far... Using the Samyang 85mm at f/1.4 the final AF adjustment is 540 um (so 0.54 mm) to allow for the IR and the thicker filter. For the Sigma 10-20 the AF is generally useless. The Sigma shots have some very strange characteristics, if I focus on the conservatory door fr...

Sensor scratch!!
How is it a loss? It was sold on Ebay as used and he got a brand new camera which is worth more than was originally paid for an extra £60. Personally I would be well happy. As for the seller .. to be honest would you take someones word for it if someone came back to you saying there was a m...

RAW or Premium JPEG?
I am primarily a manual, raw shooter, however, there are some in camera tricks that only work with jpeg, so why not? heck I've even been using some of the Auto focus and modes.... they're there so why not?

RAW or Premium JPEG?
I'm aware that there are limitations to everything, but we have to start somewhere. I chose this image as there were lots of colours, shapes, shadows, bright areas and as the DOF has been limited also the gradation from sharp to the out of focus areas. http://www.ephotozine.com/articles/x-rite-co...

Anyone using Gimp?
Just a few thoughts: - I tried GIMP V1 a few years back. Found that I preferred Photoshop. Gimp was more powerful, but much harder to learn. - GIMP is software for Linux - then translated for Windows. Don't expect it to always do things the way that Windows standard software does. - Take an ima...

Anyone using Gimp?
It's a matter of being aware where you have saved your work, in this respect GIMP is no different from any other software. Always make sure you choose a sensible place to save rather than letting the application choose for you, regardless which application you're using. The only difference with GIMP...
