Focusing manual lenses on K5?
I don't understand too much about grains and grooves on the focusing screen, but I fired off a couple of shots last night at f/1.2 which are shown below (with 100% crop of area I was trying to focus on). It's not perfect, but bearing in mind that a). it's f/1.2 b). it wasn't the only bottle of ...

Focusing manual lenses on K5?
It looks in focus.... Certainly not back focussed. The only way to be sure is use a focus rack and bracket +/- 7-10mm each way. Always better with still lifes anyway. -

Focusing manual lenses on K5?
Just done a few quick tests with the trap focus turning the lens from infinity to close with my finger on the shutter release. The camera fired when the Green Hex/Beep came on. Seems to work spot on even though I forgot to turn the SR on. Couple of results wide open.... hand held ... ...

Focusing manual lenses on K5?
Not so easy to focus when the subject is live and moving. here's a couple of shots at 1.2 I got of a random girl at a burger stall early this year I considered myself lucky on the focus front

You could even buy something cheap from their second hand stock: and px it straight back to them! But buying a 99p special off ebay would get you a greater net discount: Just save a K-5II/IIS for me :)

How long does it normally take to process the refund on the part exchange? I'm only asking as you will have had my K10D back for a few days and haven't heard anything? :D

K5 II - £100 Extra part-exchange!
Well I cracked and went for the plain mkii, I know I will regret not getting the mkiis but spent way too much money on kit this month already... That's what I went for as well. I'd spent some time trying to decide between the two but when this offer came it up it really focussed my mind and as I co...

I'm sure you could change your mind, especially if you just send it back unused and ask for the IIs :D

Having bought a K-5II before Christmas on the understanding that the trade-in deal ended on December 31 I am, like others, somewhat disenchanted that it has continued with a price reduction. Still, I suppose that's the luck of the draw. if Chris is still following this thread he might care to com...

K10D decision
Looking back at Cabstar's GX-20 gig photos, which test a camera to the limits, I'd think that this camera, or a K20D, would take you to whatever level you want to achieve. The K10D is a great camera, but if you can pick up a GX-20 or K20D for under £200, it really is a no-brainer. I recently bought...

K10D decision
The K10D will give you the smooth CCD look that I find is missing in CMOS cameras. Agreed. It's absolutely wonderful at ISO100. I regretted trading mine in when I bought a K-30, so bought a replacement here on the classifieds. The CMOS cameras are absolutely incredible at high ISOs though, and ...

K10D decision
Well I snagged a K10D for a very good price. My partner thinks it must be a more 'professional' camera than my old K7, because it's so big I presume! Going back two generations of Pentax cameras makes you realise how far things have come, but I like it. And the image quality with indoor flash is sup...
