You could try Daylight Bulbs if you have to take photos under room lighting. I've never tried them, but craft shops sell them as do Homebase. It won't be a problem if you use f/5.6 -f/11 because of depth of field. Personally I'd just use flash. No problems about it being discontinued. I got lo...

Hi gedski, The issues you worry about are pretty needless. The K-r is not a waterproof model that is the domain of the K-5 so it is advisable not to use it in heavy rain. There may have been one or two failures of the dial wheel but considering the millions sold worldwide it is a minor issue. As ...

Thanks for all of your reponses, gentlemen, they are appreciated. About the dampness fault. I was aware of the K-r not being weather proofed. I was concerned that perhaps on a dry day but with some dampness in the air there could be a problem. I think that the e-dial is doing what it should on m...

Thanks for all of your reponses, gentlemen, And lady :wink:. You may want to take care in cold weather that you don't get condensation on the camera. Before changing from cold to warm wrap the camera tightly in a plastic bag, before going back into the warm, so the condensation forms on the bag,...

Samsung going back to Pentax SR instead of it's own ois system... ... so it begs to reason... given past rumours of Samsungs medium format system... is it possible that rather than pay patent royalties, they worked out a deal to discount sensors for Pentax's evil medium format camera? samsung ...

Yay we can go back to being panicky and doom stricken again! Let's face it, us Pentax users are never happy if we aren't! :P But seriously I don't think the fact that B&H has discontinued the Kr means a great deal... Jessops haven't discontinued it, Adorama haven't... Maybe B&H have just decided ...

KR lens change problem
enable ,,using aperture ring'' at custom menu then :) Set your camera to M mode using the mode dial (your camera won't fire in other modes*) Compose and focus your image. Using the aperture ring (the ring at the very back of your lens; it will have numbers such as 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8 writt...

Photographing startrails with the K-r, mor assistance please.
It might seem obvious, but maybe worth reiterating. The length of the trail is determined by the length of the exposure (or multiple exposures) Full circles are not possible unless you live above the Arctic circle, but a passing immitation is possible with overlapping segments. This time of y...

Former Leica M user's first impressions of a Pentax K5
Having sold my Leica M film system earlier this year, and having used an MFT system briefly, the Pentax K5 actually seemed big and heavy when I first picked it up. In use however, I found that it fitted nicely into my Billingham bag, and squeezed into the smaller bag I use for walking. I think I may...

Former Leica M user's first impressions of a Pentax K5
Interesting topic :) Try setting AF on the AF button rather than the shutter, so it doesn't disturb your quickshift focus. There are two menu items to achieve this, one to disable on the shutter half press, the other to activate on the AF button. Pete

Make sure you use centre point focus only, otherwise the camera makes the critical decision of where to focus for you.

Former Leica M user's first impressions of a Pentax K5
I doubt if the scales on FA/DA lenses are very accurate :shock: It's better to buy a MF 24mm, 28mm or 35mm and use INFINITY at f/8. Most things from about 4m to INF will be in focus.

Pete is bang on the money, but another technique is to leave the autofocus linked to the shutter button, which is often quite convenient, and have the AF button set to *cancel* the autofocus. Then you just hold it down when you want to lock your focus.

I would just set the focus on the back button and disable the shutter release for focussing - once you get used to this it is far more flexible. Regards David

Think I would just switch to manual focus! But then I have still not found my way all round the k5's menu's yet!

Surely if the camera is on af-s and you auto focus with the shutter release then if you keep the shutter release pressed you can quick shift all you want? Then full press for the shot.

Think I would just switch to manual focus! Seriously - it's very easy to set this up. Go to the button customisation menu. You've got the AF Button (the one on the back), which has two settings - Enable AF (which means it focuses if you press it) and Cancel AF (which means that the AF won't o...
