Thanks for the tip John I will. I have had a play with catch in focus in the past, but only with manual lenses. I think I'd got the idea from the manual that it would assist manual focus in that I could hold the trigger down and it would only fire when it thought the subject was in focus. My eyes...

You said you were not bothered about having to focus manually. In that case, nearly all the Pentax SMC A and SMC M series are high quality and mainly inexpensive on E bay. Buy it and try it, keep it or ditch it as you will. The Ms are all manual. The As will work with auto settings provided you set ...

Have a look at my sig. I've just added an SMC A 70-210 too. I'm getting better at manual focus but need a lot more practice with fast moving subjects before i'd be anywhere near confident of getting more in-focus images than AF can muster. I'm trying to stick to 'A' manual lenses as I find the li...

18-135 see my portfolio ( robin, cat etc) super lens, fast focus wouldn't leave the house without it Right payday tomorrow and can't decide between a k50 or a k5ii. If I went k5ii I would have to get either an 18-55 or 35 2.4 then buy the 18-135 later on. Or I can go k50 and get the 18-135. ...

Welcome back. The two manual lens that you have brought are excellent and I'm sure you will enjoy using them. Exactly what did you miss to make you come back to Pentax?

The main thing was the weather sealing but also the ergonomics and its a lot of camera for the money. What made me come back the most however was a thread on here about the m club and the fantastic pictures that had been taken with lenses costing around £25.

K3 FluCard range
Probably similar to the Eye-Fi card. Walls will cause problems, but anywhere on the same floor of a house should work and mine is OK about 7M into the garden, but I could move the router outside and get more. You don't want to go too far away because you have to walk back to the PC :mrgreen:...

k30 sensor cleaning
been through a few Pentax cameras over the years, always happy to accept that they needed tlc once a year (or so) to remove the odd speck here and there. So was quite excited to learn that the k30 could at least partially vibrate the occasional bits of dust away from the sensor and maybe keep me con...

New Pentax K-S1
a fiend ? I wasn't aware any canon models had the mode dial on the back ? I've a 500D, had a couple 50d's and have a g10, also seen other models - any idea which model (s) have it there ? Meh we're all different - I know some Canon users never liked the joystick on the 50D and I think 40D had ...

It's that same rotating dial on the back that changes the options. The new Pentax may have a different use for it but the mode dial on top is quicker to access.

New Pentax K-S1
yeah the one on back of canons is to change shutter speed / aperture (selectable) not mode dial. Not quicker to use with camera to eye though - which is why I think is good and clever, also surely no slower to use way from eye either .. surely ?

New Pentax K-S1
From Dpreview " Final Thoughts While the somewhat bizarre LEDs on the K-S1's front grip will likely garner the most attention, under the hood it seems like a quite capable DSLR. On the spec side, you get a 20MP APS-C CMOS sensor, a selectable AA filter, built-in image stabilization, and a max...

I suspect we are really seeing the Asian market and design influence here. It's crunch reality time for me and I just see pentax heading off in a direction / with a focus that is quite divergent to my wants and needs. With the rapid development in mirrorless I just don't see much here that is new...

Depressing Review, and most of you are thinking too much of western Europe and the US. There is a whole world out there with more money than we have to play with who like bells and whistles and colours and flashing lights. That is who Ricoh are catering too. Sales in Europe and the US will be nice,...

I agree, it seems they can't win :roll: I'm of two minds with statements like this. Consumers need to keep it real with their assessments of products, but they are also entitled to a view. I'm only a supporter of brand loyalty where both parties are getting something from the deal, otherwise it's ...

I am thankful, I'm lucky to have any camera at all! Exra lucky that it's a K3 and extra extra lucky that I was in a position (Eventually!) to get the original one I bought back. :) If Ricoh don't update the K50 anytime soon, I can always get another K3, win win win! It'a all good, well for me anyway...
