Leaping from K110-D to K-30 Need Help.
Long time no see, welcome back Mac. As far as I recall everything you have will work on the latest bodies. Just make sure she gets the 18-55WR with the K30, that way wet weather won't worry her.:D

Leaping from K110-D to K-30 Need Help.
Hi to all! Especially those with such long memories! (Don and HG) I think I was using my flash in Auto mode even on my K110-D Steve and elfer, so no loss there! Man, ya gotta love Pentax! I notice our McBrian is back? Thought he went darkside? Thanks again everyone, and I'll let you k...

K5, telescope adapter and F stop....
The flashing F just means the camera doesn't know what the F stop is. It doesn't need to be set. You might need to set the menu option to 'allow aperture ring' (I can't understand why this isn't the default), and perhaps have the camera set to manual focus - so that you can do test shots without ha...

K30, focus peaking and manual focus lenses
I am reliably informed that Santa is about to wield my debit card to replace my K200D with a nice shiny new probably black (maybe blue) K30 body. I have read lots of reviews and am completely convinced that the K30 is a major upgrade to my K200D except in two respects - focussing with manual focu...

I've no experience of either camera model you mention, but I do know that the split-image focusing screen in your K200D was not fitted as standard. from Katzeye will fit your new K-30, so you could continue to focus the way you want.

Focus peaking works ok - it's not a replacement for a film era viewfinder, but in a bind its ok. I'd see how you go then get a katzeye fitted if you need it, as suggested above.

I've no experience of either camera model you mention, but I do know that the split-image focusing screen in your K200D was not fitted as standard. True - I fitted a split-screen from focusingscreen.com some years back. I've just had a quick whizz with a freebie utility called "ExposurePlot" to ana...

K30, focus peaking and manual focus lenses
Just tried a couple of manual lenses on my K30 and they work fine with focus peaking i used a A70-210 F4 and a 50MM M1.7

The cost of a Katzeye screen with Optibrite Coating, once I've paid import duty & VAT is going to be about what I'd get for the K200D if I were to sell it. :cry: So, I may as well keep the K200D and use that when manual focus doesn't work so well on the K30. :) Problem solved? Maybe .........

It would seem that Santa thinks the problem is solved, as he has just waved my debit card at our friends from SRS and they have deposited a K30 body in his sleigh. If Parcel Force do the business, it should arrive on Weds. :-) Andrew

K30, focus peaking and manual focus lenses
I just bought the K30 to use with a M 50mm f1.4 and the M 24-35mm. Both my wife (camera technophobe) and I found it really easy to use Live View to take photos in focus using Live View. We found we couldn't quite get it right with Focus Peaking but probably because I am not using it quite right. I w...

OK what I have decided to do is order the K-30 in the beginning of January from SRS. Did you say they supply a free battery and two years warrenty?

All Pentax cameras have a battery (and charger) included. Pro dealers (such as SRS) offer a two year warranty. Remember to quote your user name to ensure you get free delivery. If you do get charged, just drop a message and he will sort it for you.

K30, focus peaking and manual focus lenses
Parcel Force did the business. It arrived around lunchtime - only 24 hours after placing the order with SRS online. Amazing.. A quick play reveals that I have a lot to learn. The K30 feels a lot lighter than the K200D. All the buttons are in different places too. The menus are not so hard t...

Well done! I look forward to your photos. One other thing that the K30 excels at is video! :)
