Manual focus lenses on Pentax K-5 II
Is the peaking on the K30 the same as it is on the K-01? I understood the implementation on the K-01 to be better, but I might be wrong on this. I cannot say for certain whether the focus peaking implementation on the K30 is as good as that on the K-01 as I do not have a K-01, but I can say that it ...

Kamera Quandaries
Your answer my friend is MFT!:D:shock::shock: Really that is my considered answer and I can back it up with experience, except that I now (currently) own two different systems........... The IQ with the right lens is SO near APSC that you really wouldnt notice and even in poor light high ISO perf...

help needed choosing a digital slr
I would think the K-5 would suit you very well, especially as you appreciate the construction quality of your LX bodies. Magnesium alloy shell, weather and dust resistant and not too far out of date by any means. Of course the K-5 II or K-5 IIs would also be equally suitable, but a little more ex...

What settings
TAV 1/500th F8 when 55 - 300mm on camera. Max ISO set to 3200. Spot focus, centre weighted metering. 1/250 and F8 when shorter lens on camera, spot focus and wide metering. In film era I would set manual focus to about 20 feet.

What settings
This one's really easy to answer. The camera will be in whatever mode it happens to be in for the type of shooting I'm doing or was last doing. If something important and really unexpected come up that I absolutely had to grab without thinking I'd hit the green button then press the shutter, whi...

What settings
Its good to look at and consider the 'Memory' items in the menu - this affects which settings will be retained after the camera is switched off. If any item is not ticked in this menu then the setting will go back to a default after switching off. This affects things like ISO, Drive Mode, white bala...

K3 Apple Aperture RAW Support Update
I have just checked for software updates on my Mac and it looks like Apple have finally released an Aperture RAW update for the K3. It will be nice to get back to single-app workflow again 8)

How many clicks?
Thanks. Useful to know what constitutes a "reasonable" click count. Not dissimilar to car mileage v condition figures. I think Blythman's point about what is it about the Kx which let's me down is a good one as I do to chase technology for its' own sake. I like the size of the Kx and I am acquiring...

I upgraded from my K-x for better AF speed. A lot of my photography being birds. As David says the K-x is a very capable camera. The shutter is no noisier than many of the Canons and Nikons that are next to me when I'm in a hide. Although the K5 is much quieter. I always shot on centre spot AF an...

How many clicks?
I've owned an 18-250 in the past and found it better than my 18-55 mk1 in that range, it was a bit soft at the long end, although some of that was probably trying to shoot handheld without a fast enough shutter speed (I had a K10 at the time so max ISO was 1600). I kept it for a while after getting...

K3 does not recognise focal lengths below 10mm
Someone on the other forum made a small program that scans your folders and automatically corrects the Exif data for any shots taken with the Sigma 8-16mm. It did not work "out of the box" for me, and thinking back I believe I had to use a different version of Exiftool and update one of the .dll ...

Hi Smeggypants First image was pretty much a straight conversion from RAW to jpg. I did tinker with the other one a bit - just starting to use Aperture for PP. I'll have a look at these tonight along with the in camera jpg and see if they are any different. These first few images were just ...
