K-5 AF Problems
Also - are the Pentax lenses that have the focus motor built into them better at focusing than the other type. I don't mean quicker, I just mean will they overcome the low light focus problem? Tried the sigma 100-300 f/4 indoors and it didn't locked on because of the low light but the DA*50-135 f/2....

Why do you stay with pentax?
I've recently given up Canon to come back to Pentax, doing my research before ordering a telephoto lens (DA55-300), the image quality in the shots I found on the net was superb and from a lens that cost half the price of some of my old Canon lenses. I would like to see a side by side impartial te...

Why do you stay with pentax?
I used Pentax in the 80s, was happy with them and when I got into digital photography in 2009, it was a natural choice. I started by using lenses I owned back in the 80s. The bAckwards compatibility as attractive, btu then started collecting some mdoern Pentax and Sigma lenses, and some older Pen...

Why do you stay with pentax?
If i were to use another brand then it would be Nikon (just waiting for the slew of D700s to hit the market after the D800 comes out) ;) However the only reason is i want a FF camera and 3 or 4 high quality lenses is enough. Pentax would remain as my main brand. The big benefit of Canon is that vi...

Why do you stay with pentax?
One of the main reasons I first chose Pentax was the ability to use it with older primes - a cheap option to get started. I have several bargains, for example a M50mm f1.7 for £10. The quality is ridiculously good for the price. I found a K series 35.mm f3.5 for £30 (with a film camera thrown i...

Why do you stay with pentax?
I bought into Pentax when I did a photography course & needed a DSLR, saw a k100d in ASDA of all places for £199.99 Why have I stayed with Pentax / samsung??? Because their build quality in the price range is far superior to any body lens of similar price manufactured by Canikon. Having picked up...

Why do you stay with pentax?
I can see plenty reasons to choose and stay with pentax. I bought a second hand k-5 and had a problem with its sensor. Luckily, I received a new camera because of its sensor stain. Then, I could not get clear photos, so I checked its focus and found that my 50mm 1.4 lens needed a focus adjustment...

Why do you stay with pentax?
When I check most of pentax af lenses, the prices of them do not look cheaper than good lenses of other brands. The choice of lens is limited and the prices are not cheaper... I have found the opposite. I have done a ton of lens research and have found that whilst other manufacturers have lenses tha...

Why do you stay with pentax?
Then, I could not get clear photos, so I checked its focus and found that my 50mm 1.4 lens needed a focus adjustment. I also found that the manual focus was not quite accurate under f 2.0. I felt really annoyed with these things yesterday. No use to rant about that because every camera that use a Ph...

Why do you stay with pentax?
The only reason I would move away from Pentax is: 1. I decide to go Full Frame, then I'd go Canon. 2. Decide to do some action photography for a living (which I don't see myself doing in the near future). I'd need lenses that are simply not available for the K mount. Then I'd go for Canon again....

Why do you stay with pentax?
Because I like Pentax and as Charlotte says the ability to use older Pentax K lenses. I slightly disagree with Charlotte in that some of the older lenses are every bit as good and sharp as the newer ones (maybe a little less contrasty, but this can be fixed afterwards). Have a look on ebay and see...

Pentax K-R
I bought the shorter zoom twin lens kits from DSG (Currys,PC World, Dixons etc) for my KX puirchase. I paid £549 back then so value improves doesn't it? The replacement (black) KR from SRS early May this year came (back in may with the metal bayoneted quick focus ring MK II 18 - 55. £429 the pair...

K5 firmware question
The downloaded file contains the readme text file. The update process has remained unchanged from the very first *istD. Download the file and run it (.exe). This will extract two files, the readme.txt being one, the firmware, the other. Charge your battery. Format an SD card in the camera....

K5 firmware question
I've a Canon A560 that's 'hacked' to shoot RAW, the great thing about it is the hack is purely SD card based. Take the SD card out and the camera reverts back to stock until you put the card in again. That's quite a neat way of doing it, nothing's permanent.

K5 firmware question
I've seen numerous instances over the years of people who have had somethign that works, but have installed the latest update, even if they didn't need the new feature offered, simply because it 'might' improve things, but then find out that the update has broken something. I would concur with Smegg...

K5 firmware question
Stefan commented that the upgrades can be taken back to a previous version - that's not the advise I was given by "JP" for my K10D unless the requisite Pentax kit is to hand. "JP" would not have told you that you can reload your camera with previous firmware, if you first edit the firmware to make t...
