Perhaps naive question, but who needs such fancy metering?
I have my meterings et to the same as the focus point which is usually the centre spot and then recompose. I can see the advantage of better metering but im set in my workflow now...

Perhaps naive question, but who needs such fancy metering?
It makes good sense to use these tools and techniques to improve the exposure at capture, and it need not interfere with any creative flow, just needs to be built into a natural shooting workflow, and of course practice makes perfect Gary, as I understand it, the option to link active focus point...

Pentax - a good range now
The new Mark11 Jessops is an improvement over the old now defunct earlier model, at least at The MetroCentre on Tyneside. Staff are far more helpful with Pentax inquiries than at the previous now defunct model. The store is bigger and has a dedicated Ricoh Pentax section. OK it's set further back i...

Pentax - a good range now
A good thread. So who will step up and pen the ideal sales pitch? You have a K5, K5II and K5 IIs on the shelf with a poster on the wall showing the K3 . A potential sale has just walked into the shop and asks your advice on the Pentax K5 range and also adds a query about the K3. What do you e...

Interesting........
I am heading back to family at Christmas and will be picking one up while I am there (provided no issues like the wonky level or sensor stain issues emerge - i feel confident they will not). I think I will have enough time to work out if it is duff before I come back and then anything unexpected can...

I have a windows phone and wanted to use my eyefi card whilst shooting in the club. I bought an android phone and boy what utter junk. Its like going back to the stone age. Unresponsive, jittery scrolling. Thankfully my son who works in var phone warehouse found me a cheap iPhone 4 which works a tre...

Yes, I got given a Galaxy 3 and gave it back to buy my own Nokia Windows phone. But then if the liveview works properly with a Galaxy or an iphone, I think I could live with it. I am getting used to overturning long held values and beliefs - after all I have just bought my first pair of M&S jeans, h...

The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
Yeah many comments I see are asking what the video bitrate is and if the AF system works during video recording. And I'd like to know if the focus peaking is able to function during recording also. Still very quiet on that front. I do like the ability to view the images on an iPad. That would ...

The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
I do like the ability to view the images on an iPad. That would be really good for checking focus etc as I personally find the rear screens make everything look good in the field, and find pixel peaking quite difficult to check that well on the rear screen as often it all looks really good on the b...

The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
Have they managed to break through the dynamic range barrier yet for the impoverished amateur? You know, you can have all the mega-pixels in the world and ASA 100x that of the fastest commercial film, but whats the point if all your high lights still end up blown or there's no detail in the shado...

The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
There is a lot of new learning (and 'programming' :wink:) for people with the K3 system. In continuous mode you can now choose a varying 'array' of points, which you can effectively move around to create an off-centre position for the array, which can be 3x3, 5x5 or 7x7 I understand. Very amazing st...

The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
Of course the photographer has to keep things in the central area of the frame, but I wonder if that's what they tend to do anyway now? You could be right. We have lenses which are soft outside the centre unless stopped down and people still buy them to put on their shiny new camera bodies which als...

The new standard of performance - K3 shoot.
They've respected the core of the design - the pentaprism system with 100% viewfinder is retained right through from the K7 - plus I think there's a slight increase in viewfinder magnification? This along with the basic operating principles of the camera have stood the test of time so I'm glad we're...

Road map and 1.4x converter
Just my input as a new member. Tcs are not only for the 300mm plus users. I have success with using it on a DA 55 f1.4 and DA 15 f4 when I need that extra reach. Never use it on Sigma 35 f1.4 Art though, why spoil perfection ! The Tamron 1.4 Pz AF MC4 is at the moment as good as you can get , I wa...

Full Frame (again)
the new retro-Pentax LX-D will adopt a whole new shorter flange A-mount (A for Ace, after K and Q), which will allow two adapters for legacy K mount lens - one for manual focus with metering etc, and a more expensive motorised adapter for auto focussing as well. Hmmm. A mount makes me think of th...
