Remote Controlling your camera HELP
For those of you with a K-m, K-x or K-r you can easily make an RF remote to use on your camera. Range is very long, works in sunlight and doesn't need line of sight and can be fired from behind. I have written an article on this about a year ago if you search. Basically you just use a TV remote and ...

50-200 V 18-135
I think that people reviewing such a lens will make allowances for its range, and will also compare it with other extreme-range lenses. In comparison with the competition, it might be relatively good. BTW, if you aren't prepared to change lenses, you probably shouldn't be using an SLR. The abil...

50-200 V 18-135
Sory am unable to figure out how to post the pictures Advice on that here: You can get the basic exposure details of each shot from the camera - helpful if you could show this at the very least as if for instance the 18-135 lens was wide open and the 50-200 was stopped down, that would affect s...

Bi-Latrel Pricing....
I bought my 12-24 from Park Cameras a couple of weeks back for £588. SRS were the same price at the time but didn't have any in stock. I'm getting the feeling that someone's 'taking us for a ride'

Bi-Latrel Pricing....
Had these been the prices last year when I was swapping from Nikon, I wouldn't have gone for Pentax. It is a shame if that is going to be the level of the pricing for Pentax lenses from now on. Killed any chance for me going for a K-01... :( I cannot see how the 17-70 F4 is just £150 less than a ...

Bi-Latrel Pricing....
And what does it say about Pentax in relation to other brands? A OM-D + a few very very good primes will set you back less than 2k, selling what I've got would probably net me a fair bit more than that and I am getting similar benefits but even smaller lighter body even better IS and some amazing zu...

Bi-Latrel Pricing....
And the K-5 is still cheaper than the D7000! Nikon packed a lot into the D7000 but somehow, especially after using a K-5, it did'nt quite do it for me. The first one had to go back as it backfocused every lens [I've never had that sort of problem before and usually try to leave well alone, but tryin...

It's always a hard sell for anything, and for all makes. Ask the guys in Jessops and similar stores...and they might mention the hours of talking to people and then the, "Yes, that's definitely what I want, I'll come back later." Indecision is rampant and the slightest thing will unnerve many buyers...

Bi-Latrel Pricing....
The only thing that has happened here is that a few prices have increased, so I do think all the worry is a bit out of proportion. Nope. My decisions are made based on the previous round of price increases as well. Almost every lens costs double or more now to what it did three years back. If you fi...

I run mine in "P" program mode with the program line set to "Normal". This means I can use the rear dial to adjust the aperture, making it AV mode (which I use most of the time), or the front dial for the shutter speed, making it TV mode, without having to change the mode dial. If I mess up these se...

Me too GlynM, I also run in P mode most of the time. Why do so many people opt for Av mode when you get Av mode and more from P mode? Simple. In Av mode I can adjust aperture with one dial and ISO with the other. That's optimal most of the time. Other than that the best advice I can give is RAW ...

catch in focus
I have turned on catch in focus on my K5 as per P134. lens is DA 18-135. I focused on a chair with half press of shutter button then moved back 3ft and presed the shutter full down and an out of focus chair was taken at that time. What am I doing wrong.

catch in focus
Was the focus sensor in use still aimed at the chair?
