AP review of the K-3
I agree with the fact that the kit lenses do let the whole package down. Using DA* lenses makes a dramatic difference. His thoughts on the interface rang true for me as the first thing i did was turn that damn screen off! The only problem is that unlike my previous Pentax`s there is no info at start...

K10D and Bigma focus
Before we start can I just say I am still new to this hobby so go easy on me.I am into mainly bird/wildlife photography and have the Bigma because I am disabled and unable to get closer to the subject unlike others and mainly take photo`s from a hide or a vehicle.I have been rather unhappy with the ...

K10D and Bigma focus
Can you crop the picture and post a picture of just the bird? It's a bit difficult to see anything wrong atm because it's such a small subject. The lights not helping things though because it's so flat.

K10D and Bigma focus
Second one looks ok to me since it's a 100% crop and you are shooting at 500mm wide open in iffy light. you can see feather detail in the picture and the eye seems sharp enough. First one is rubbish ... is the Bigma the old version or the newer OS? Interestingly I am in the process of packaging u...

K10D and Bigma focus
That's better, the first is definitely out of focus, however the second is perfectly acceptable. You are shooting into a dark area and so your light is going to be reduced and this will likely affect your shutter speed. Don't expect every shot to be perfect there are always going to be missed shots....

K10D and Bigma focus
Focusing on the chart looks OK to me, nothing that I'd be complaining about. As for the Bullfinch, After looking at the Exif Data all I can say is under those conditions I'd have packed up and gone home, 1/80th wide open:shock: 10/10 for trying:D So putting the flat lighting aside for a mo'...

K10D and Bigma focus
I had a Bigma 50-500 (older version) that produced exactly the same symptoms - I couldn't get a sharp image out of it at any focal length above approx. 150mm. I sold it and bought a 150-500 and that is superb - like chalk and cheese. I don't know if there is a general issue with the lens, but wh...

K10D and Bigma focus
My lens is very old f6.8 total manual 400mm so with K10D 600mm and I have the same problem with focus. However bird table, nest or other fixed location set the lens on a tripod and focus then sit with remote in hand until something lands at where you have trained lens and focused to seems to work mu...

How much more demanding of good technique is the K-3?
A little more but just attention to detail, would be my answer. I think there is a little less headroom in the files for pulling them around in Post Processing, not having the K5IIs anymore means I cannot do the direct comparisons I wanted to but I may just get another after Christmas. Less DR? I...

How much more demanding of good technique is the K-3?
So I was browsing through the various forums and noticed a rash of my K-3 is soft, my lens must be fault, you know blame it on everyt hing except yourself while at the same time uploading images to prove your case. I noticed when I swapped from a K20D to the K-5 that the latter was far less forgiv...

How much more demanding of good technique is the K-3?
This debate reminds me of the one which went on on Nikon forums when the d7000 was launched. I haven't gone back and checked but I seem to remember a significant number of "my new Nikon is soft/out of focus" etc. type posts. i get the same problem with my k-7 but I'm afraid that is poor technique. I...
