Pentax returner after a year with Canon
My son has a 7D with 24-105mm 1:4L and 70-200mm 1:2.8L lenses and he loves it. Why change back?

Pentax returner after a year with Canon
Reason for the change back was for a few reasons: -it was a hefty bit of kit with three lenses and so i found i wasn't using it as much as i should have been , preferring my X100 and even my Leica DLux 5 -did a test shot one evening with my dLux5 and my 15-85mm lens, and saw no discernible dif...

Welcome back Pete, we're just as daft as last year. I look forward to seeing some shots from the Kr in comparison to your previous K20d posts.8)

Welcome back, Pete. Some interesting observations above, particulaly as the Canon 7D is one of the few non-Pentax DSLRs I really covet. Hope enjoy being back in the fold. I too love my mk1 kit lens!

Pentax returner after a year with Canon
Welcome back Pete. In my experience when stopped down to f8 at A3 print size there is no discernible difference between most lenses, not that it stops me wanting more lenses :)

K5 Screw drive problem
Hi everyone, I tried using my Sigma 105mm and 180mm macro lenses on my new K5 today. But the screw drive mechanism does not marry up correctly. All i get is a grinding noise when i try to focus. I've noticed that the drive does not protrude as much in comparison with my K10 & K20. Any one else ha...

weird bug with my K5
I have tried other SD Cards and it works fine. Take it out and it would still think it has a memory card in it and displaying a memory card error message. Yeah it should still be under warranty. Bought it back in November 2010 but i had to send it in for the stains issue and got a replacement K5 dat...

pentax kr problem
Hi, received my kr this morning but the focus seems way out, Ive adjusted the fine focus adjustment, and -10 seems to be about the best but still not quite right, this isn't just in tungsten light, its all lighting, took a few out the garden and was shocked, I have a particular bird feeder that I te...

pentax kr problem
Hi Jacqui It can't be anything simple as you are obviously an experienced photographer. My K-r was perfect (even under tungsten, actually) out of the box with no adjustments needed - except for the viewfinder focus. It sounds to me that there might be a problem unless someone can suggest anyth...

pentax kr problem
Drive yourself bonkers with this test chart and instructions it was originally designed for the Nikon D70, but pages 13-19 are what you need and will show how far out the focus is when set at 0

pentax kr problem
A lot of people post issues with similar problems; I have had to adjust my K-x to -70 (yes, minus 70) in the debug menu and it now produces excellent sharp shots. I was on the point of sending back my 55-300 lens as I thought it was rubbish. It wasn't - the camera was not focussing it accurately. ...

pentax kr problem
Jacqui, I would just send it back for an exchange as I think such adjustments should not be necessary and you are always likely to have doubts about the camera. You implied that you purchased it from Clifton Cameras on their interest free deal on another thread. I've had to return an item to them i...
