K5 or K30
You are not necessarily waiting for the launch date - most people wait, until they are sure to not buy a camera with beta bugs (like the dirty sensors of the first K5 bodies) and with a price, that can only be that high, because it is brand new. I just got the K5 together with a 18-135mm for 1066...

Looking on Amazon the K5 cash-back offer ends 5 days before the K30 becomes available :(

Did anyone hear about Pentax Cashback?
I got my K-5 and has sent the cashback form back to Pentax a week ago, but I haven't received any response like confirmation email and so on. Do anyone know how long to wait for the cashback or anymore information? Thanks

Did anyone hear about Pentax Cashback?
I am beginning to get fed up. I bought a K5 with lens from Amazon and received back on 30 May and immediately sent off my claim for the £80 cashback by recorded delivery. I had a call on 23 June saying I hadn't provided all necessary info, as had sent a copy of order statement from Amazon and not th...

Did anyone hear about Pentax Cashback?
It's can't be a scam to give us some money back. What it does is make a promotion that attracts both dealers and buyers. The dealers get paid when the camera is bought and it's the manufacturer that provides the discount. We don't pay extra to get the cashback, so there's no interest involved ...

Stolen K5
Dear All I'm a new member to the forums, only joined a couple of days ago after meeting FrtizTheDog at Bempton Cliffs shooting gannets. I'd rather hoped one of my first posts would be more positive, but I've had a terrible 24Hrs.. Last night I decided to pop out in Beverley to take some shots...

Sorry to hear the bad news. I hope you are able to get your gear back, or at least get something from the insurance for it. Stuey - you will need to PM Hullman - as he is a new member he can't PM yet.

Stolen K5
Sadly a fact of our society these days, but sorry that it's happened. I hope that you are able to get your things back, and those who think this kind of act is acceptable get their just desserts at some point. Sadly they will probably fence them off for a fraction of their monetary (let alone se...

Is it possible that they could have clocked you putting the gear in the boot. Breaking into a boot when you don't know what's in it seems a bit a random My thoughts exactly, perhaps someone who knew it was there? I could add words like scumbags etc but that doesn't help you get your kit back:cry:. ...

I've have heard a lot of scare stories - my GF's sister in law (who's Roamanian) were visitng Bucharest a few years ago - on the way back to Germany they stopped at a hotel. Leaving items in the boot covered and only taking 'essentials' with them....She thought the staff looked 'shifty' and would y...

confused about finding a macro lens
worldthroughalens I currently have two Macro lenses, a Pentax SMC DA 35mm and a Tamron DI 90mm both of these lenses are great and perform very well when used correctly. Personally i prefer the Pentax SMC DA 35mm, but if you need more reach the Tamron DI 90mm is very good and priced very reasonabl...

confused about finding a macro lens
Thank you for the feedback, I agree that longer focal length would be better. So would a Sigma 70mm f2.8 EX DG Macro lens do the job? I many take nature shots so the subject will always move lol I think a 70mm macro sounds like a good compromise between 35mm/50mm & 100mm... Working distance should b...

confused about finding a macro lens
I have been in that position as well. For insects such as butterflies and Dragonflies I personally think 100mm is the minimum focal length. 150mm or 180mm can be expensive. Alternatives are your 70-300 with an extension tube but it will be manual focus and manual exposure (depending on extension tu...

Focusing Screens
There's been some mention of focusing screens for thye 50mm f1.2 lens, but rather than divert other threads I've opened this one instead. It has been suggested that it's difficult to focus the 50mm f1.2 lens accurately, but unfortunately (or fortunately) I can't judge this as I don't have any dif...

Focusing Screens
The only suitable screen I know of is made by Canon :lol: It's FF and has to be cut down for Pentax. There is an online retailer who sells them cut down. This is just the details of the screen: http://www.digitalrev.com/product/canon-ee-s-focusing-screen/MzI1NQ_A_A Some reviews: 31 p...
