Focus Screen for the K20D
Why don't you give SRS a call, they may have stock that isn't listed on their web site. The advantage of genuine Pentax ones is that they come in a case and have the correct, essential IMO, removal tool.

Focus Screen for the K20D
One option is the Katzeye screen - still one of the best on the market. I had one on my K20D and was very pleased with it. They are not cheap but are good quality and easy to fit Import duties are not massive on an item costing this amount. Or if you want the original from a UK company (...

Focus Screen for the K20D
Before getting a Katzeye from a forum member I used a Pentax LL80 screen which I liked because of it's thirds markings.

Focus Screen for the K20D
I have a Katzeye screen on my K20, with the bright coating - expensive but makes manual focusing very easy. A downside is that it interferes with the metering - particularly on 'spot.'

Video Capture - Pentax or ??
Nigel makes a very good point with regard to the in-body Shake Reduction. I like the older manual focus lenses as the images they produce suits video very well - lovely warmth of colour and soft bokeh. I rarely use the video on my DSLR, but my son Daniel does and the results he has had from his ...

Video Capture - Pentax or ??
Shake reduction was one of the things we also thought about but we then looked back to our use cases - 90% of the movies we are going to produce, are interview sequences of senior mgt members or customers - those scenes we are going to shoot with a good video tripod (not just to get a stable picture...

Pentax K5 IIS - really reliable?
Normally they are very reliable and have no widely reported issues, sounds like it could be sensor failure which is unlucky in your case...take it back to the dealer and I'm sure it will be sorted asap Simon

Pentax K5 IIS - really reliable?
Is this the case with different SD cards? If there was a write error to the card, this could happen. Is the preview photo on the screen OK? is it just when you go back to the picture or upload to a PC?

K5IIs lock up
Couldn't find the original thread... Covered my son's school rugby match yesterday. K5IIs did very well with both DA*50-135 and DA55-300. Focus was mostly bang on the money. Got some cracking shots - so was really pleased (>650 images, whittled down to 280! Yikes!) However, the body locked up ...

K5IIs lock up
Think I was the 1st to report this. Mine did it 3 times over the course of the 1st 3 days, I said if it did it again it was going back, I still have it. From memory it had the grip on with a new Hama battery in. Had to pull all the battery's to get it back. This was on the original firmware. As I s...

K5IIs lock up
I've not had my K5ii lock up, however my K5 did lock up once. I was shooting in AF-C mode and high speed continuous shooting with a screw drive lens trying (!) to track birds in flight. It knackered the lenses drive and had to be sent to sigma for repair. It was as if the camera couldn't cope...

K5IIs lock up
I'm getting a feeling that lockup seems to mainly happen when the grip is being used. Maybe it's the switching from one battery to the other when the first runs too low? I can't test that suggestion as I don't use a grip. I have never had a lockup with any Pentax DSLR. I know for a fact that m...

It's going back for exchange. It's only a niggly little thing but I've only had it for 6 days and I'd like a new camera start out perfect!

It's going back for exchange. It's only a niggly little thing but I've only had it for 6 days and I'd like a new camera start out perfect! If it is a firmware issue, having it replaced won't solve the problem. The fix will come with an future firmware update.

That is really annoying - the camera was supposedly newly in stock and i'd have thought it would have the latest firmware. A new replacement camera will probably still have the original firmware version 1.00. It's worth updating it before you send/take it back to the supplier.
