Pentax Ricoh future
most of my shots ar eon a tripod so while I guess theoretically that could still happen I think I'm probably still getting decently accurate focus. Guess it depends on what/how we are shooting :)

Accurate manual focus on the K-5 at around 1M is impossible :shock: I'm not sure what you mean by this Algi - I have no difficulty manually focusing my K-5 at any distances. I use it for Macro, Wildlife and all other manner of things where I focus manually. The viewfinder is good and there is a fo...

I understand now Algi. I didn't realise you were referring to testing lenses - that is a whole different kettle of fish to just using a camera for everyday shots. Thank you for the explanation. I was referring to everyday use and comparing this with my other cameras (K-m & K-x) which are more d...

Plenty of fun, sand and smiles there! All now gone! On a whim I went back to have another look, but now the "fun, sand and smiles" has now been completely scrapped in favour of more drizzle. Check it out yourself. You can't make this stuff up -- LMAO.

I could understand pulling the shots where the camera is on the sand or has sand on it. Sand would get into the moving parts of the zoom and focus ring. It may not get inside the camera but it could jam things up and make the zoom feel gritty. The other 'general' shots were fine though.

Thanks Will. I have not handled a K-01 as yet so I did not realise that it had focus peaking. Ricoh GXR users are hoping that some Pentax technology will find its way to the Ricoh side in the form of an interchangeable camera unit that will allow Pentax lenses to be fully usable on the GXR.

About focus "PEAKING" I spelt it wrong but I think my way is better as to use it you are "PEEKING" CHEERS Vic.

I'd never heard of the feature before the K-30, but it does look very useful indeed. Focussing at f/1.2 is a right PITA. The viewfinder isn't accurate enough and you have to magnify LV to see the mm DOF :)

"Sue, I really will have to get a 50mm f1.2 lens because....." .... when Pentax introduce a FF sensor (with new matched AF module a-la 1.7TC), the price of old FF glass will triple. Best get it now while they are so reasonable......darling. You would though, wouldn't you. A new AF TC allowing a...

I cannot answer the poll as none of the answers fit. The problem is that Pentax have a mountain to climb to compete with Canon/Nikon. Minolta are effectively out of the game and Sony were never in it! All the new cameras in the world won't make a difference* but new glass will. Pentax need t...

As a relative newcomer to photography and DSLRs (I learnt the basics years ago on a Fuji fixed lens SLR-like S2000) I was becoming disillusioned with Pentax after the Ricoh merger, lack of new models and the apparent focus on the 'designer' K-01. I was starting to think my (albeit modest) investmen...

I see the Amazon pages are back for the K30. On these pages is a link to what Amazon call a 'Lens Finder' See If you follow the link you end up with a box where you select the brand. Guess what? They've forgotten poor old Pentax, even though I got to the Lens Finder directly from their sale...

The dioptric adjustment, I take is the little slider on the viewfinder? if thats the case I take it use autofocus on an abject then adjust it so its crystal clear in the viewfinder? No adjust it so the viewfinder screen ( markings ) itself is as sharp as possible. Have the lens out of focus on a w...
