Auto Focus Stacking
betty's post mentioned the sensor moving. Yes, but that has nothing to do with focusing. (Unless you have a 45 degree mirror in front of your lens. When it might. Marginally. Perhaps).

$200 :shock: I don't think many would buy that for Pentax Where did you get that figure from? The remote app is free if you are happy with jpg or $48 if you want to focus stack raw images. There are free stacking software products as Pentax users tend to be 'frugal' (apart from LBA sufferes), but e...

The $200 to $240 is off the Helicon website for an unlimited licence. Canon have a Digital Camera Software Developers Kit (SDK) which used to be free (I'm sure it still is). http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/standard_display/sdk_homepage There seems to be a good selection of methods t...

Reported K-3 mirror flap issues
This sounds a bit drastic to me, but it confirms they have done something specific in 1.11 to counter this potential issue. I read that as a band aid, rather than cause rectification. "We don't have a clue what's causing this, but when we detect that it's spazzed out we'll turn your computer off ...

The Best DSLR for Everyone
Without wanting to make any assumptions about individuals, I have been pondering what aspects of a camera may be more likely to appeal to different photographers. It can't all just come down to price alone - manufacturers must surely consider different types of user in desiging their range and decid...

Interesting discussion on TWIP podcast
That's very interesting Jon. Two of my Pro friends gave up on mirror cameras a couple of years ago, one for Leica and Fuji and the other is sponsored by a manufacturer. I believe that for many photographers there is room for all sorts of cameras depending on the task in hand. I've used 5x4, tl...

Manual focusing
Hi, I was wondering whether there's any way I can get my K5 to zoom in on the LCD screen when I'm manual focusing? It does this automatically in autofocus, but I can't find any way to get the camera to do this when focus is set to manual.

Manual focus lenses on Pentax K-5 II
Hi, I'm contemplating making the jump from my *ist DS to a K-5 II. Although I do have a few autofucuss lenses I tend to use a lot of the older manual focus lenses such as the 30mm/2.8, 55mm/1.8 and 85mm/1.8. I've read elewhere on the web that manual focusing can be a bit hit and miss with the standa...

Manual focus lenses on Pentax K-5 II
Hello I can not comment on the focusing screens but do use manual lenses on my K10 and K5 and use focus confirmation which is generally very accurate :D Hope this helps. Stu.

Manual focus lenses on Pentax K-5 II
I've never found any difference in manual focusing. I suspect it depends much more on the acutance of the human eye.
