Where for Video??
Right, thought I must come back and comment here. Officially taking everything back. I've recently produced two short 'music video' style clips using the K-30 and have been massively impressed by the results. The clips involve children's activities, such as trips to the park and a birthday part...

Difficult decision Alistair. I was looking for a 7D and a sigma 120-300 (plus converters) for a while For now, I've accepted that I'm going to miss some action shots because of limitations to the focus tracking. And that's with the K5 On the plus side I am happy with the quality of both the Si...

its probably the most important decision I will make and i just don't know what to do. I just wish the auto focus was quicker on the Siggy :-(

its probably the most important decision I will make and i just don't know what to do. I just wish the auto focus was quicker on the Siggy :-( It's not the Sigma at fault. I have the 50-500mm OS for both K-5 and 7D ... the lens on the Canon is way faster than the Pentax mount version. Just ...

its probably the most important decision I will make and i just don't know what to do. I just wish the auto focus was quicker on the Siggy :-( Given the much improved low-light AF sensor on the K-5 II, perhaps it's worth giving that a go- can anyone comment on if the K-5 II improves focus speed for...

apologies i meant to say earlier that the DA 300 isn't an option because the teleconverter removes auto focus. what about the mk2 k5? is it a good move?

I am certainly no expert on bird photography, but like everything else photographic wise you just have to practice technique, be patient and know what you are trying to photograph. I do a fair amount of sports related photography with a K5 and have learned how to overcome some of the focus limitatio...

This is something I have a bit of a giggle about - people always say that Pentax AF is slow compared to others systems yet when looking on the 'pophoto' site the k5 is as quick or quicker in their tests than other cameras until the light drops and with the k5II is this an issue:?: I have to feel...

so is the auto focus good on the k5 ii then? I think i read somewhere someone saying that you CAN auto focus with the da 300 and the converter. i didn't think you could

wow I am amazed. always thought it wasn't possible. can you guys show me a link for the converter and how i get it to work. Are you saying auto focus is possible but slow comparable to Siggy 500mm?

What do you think of the K30 DAVE? Im not bothered really about cameras - its the lenses that bug me. If the 300 worked great with a teleconverter id stay...no brainer. But Im getting the impression its bothersome and thats no good out in the field. The amount of shots I have missed with the...

id like to think I'm getting the best out of my kx. photos on my Flickr will show that to be the case. People with better gear are amazed at the output. auto focus is an issue for birds in flight but sometimes it comes off. If i was to buy the da300 would cropping still yield good results? can som...

Was messing around with a 7D and I cant stand it!!!! The image quality of the K-x is BETTER at 1600ISO (comparing) It's well known that Canon crop bodies are behind the other makes when it comes to ISO performance (never thought I would say that actually) as they make their own sensors unlike P...

Glad folk on here say the Kenko 1.5 works with the 150-500 Sigma... It does but I wouldn't bother though. While the big Sigmas are very good for the money they aren't good enough to take a teleconverter. You are better off cropping. My 50-500mm is off back to Sigma via SRS today, just refuses ...

Doesn't look like he's using his glasses to me. He is looking over the top of them. Common problem with people who just use glasses for reading. Do you take them off or look over the top when using the viewfinder. I take them off normally (but not always), but have to put them back on to revie...

Hi guys. The DA 300 beats the 150-500 at 300, no question. But between 450-500 I still prefer to pick up the 150-500. I don't think there's much if any difference in quality. The DA300 isn't the fastest focusing lens I prefer the OS in the Siggy for the stabilised viewfinder I like being able ...
