K-5 & a Telescope
Basically you have 2 options for linking a camera to a telescope and using the 'scope optics, one being a T mount adaptor which allows the telescope to take the place of the eyepiece, with this you just get the magnification of the main lens in a refractor (or mirror with a reflector). The second op...

K-5 & a Telescope
I also hope to start doing some astrophotography this year. However the more I read into it the more complex it seems to be to get good images. This UK-centric astronomy forum seems to have a lot of useful information on astronomy imaging: . On reading this forum I decided to follow their rec...

Sensor Cleaning Pentax K-r
I have it on by default. Canikon friends bemused by such a fine feature and the dust preview screen option. The ad hoc option in the menu seems more vigorous I use a hurricane blow brush to clean the protective screen in front of the sensor if persistant dust. I check whenever I'm back from field...

Flash Exposure Comp Not Working (K5)
I seem to have found yet another problem with my K5 today. Tomorrow I am doing a portrait where I need a catch light in the eyes of the model even though her face will be in the shade. I was doing a test just now sat in my kitchen and set my flash compensation to -2.0 and took a shot, I then s...

K-5 firmware update
It isn't faster focus in low light that's needed - it would be nice if my new da*300 would auto-focus at all in low light :roll:

I might just upgrade then if it improves focus speed.

K-5 firmware update
My K-5 has just come back from Johnsons as the shutter button assembly has been replaced and the firmware has been updated to 1.11 but as I have no plans to purchase a GPS unit in the near future that will do for me :)

K-5 firmware update
My K-5 has just come back from Johnsons as the shutter button assembly has been replaced Hi Rob, can I ask why it was replaced? My K-5 is taking 2 shots more often than not even though it is set to single shot in drive mode and I have just contacted Johnsons about the problem.

It`s much faster on the focus in poorer light. If only the same could be done with the K20.

the best value for money and quality is the pentax DA L 55-300mm far superior to the sigma, a little bit dearer but check the classifieds forum on here could find one there then slightly dearer again is the DA 55-300mm that comes with hood and quick shift focus which allows you to tweak focus man...

lens
then slightly dearer again is the DA 55-300mm that comes with hood and quick shift focus which allows you to tweak focus manually when in auto focus Quick shift is a life saver when in a quiet environment with this lens (e.g. concerts!) as you can quick-shift a manual focus while in auto-focus mode....

Some Pentax Ricoh Insights?
People elsewhere are getting fairly worked up about the bloke's answer to the inevitabe "FF question". Having read it a second time after a few hours, I am still at a loss to work out why. He essentially gives an extended, marketing-speak 'no comment'. As far as the future health of Pentax is con...

Happy K-5 owner
I bought my K5 a few weeks back but today has been the first day when the light and weather have been good for photos and I've had time to get out. I really am very impressed with the way the camera renders colours, through Capture One they look superb - much better than the D7000 I owned previo...
