Using sensor shift
Vic, Assuming the camera is in landscape orientation... Up arrow shifts the sensor up - effectively shifting the PoV higher. So if the verticals are tilting back (the normal situation when looking up at a building) then shifting up will correct the converging verticals. Down arrow shifts th...

Using sensor shift
John. Thanks. The link was OK. It tells you what to do and how to do it, but it assumes you know how to use a tilt & shift lens in the first place. Thanks anyway. Matt. Thanks. After the camera being in landscape the next sentence says it all. Opposites apply up/down, left/right. I just didn't k...

do i need an upgrade from the K30?
thanks - i hadn't thought about how long it takes to get used to a new camera body so will definitely follow your advice and not upgrade the body. i liked the idea of the 30mm 1.4 (because i also will need it for filming when i am back) and think it will work well for some landscape and city sho...

do i need an upgrade from the K30?
May I ask why take the 10/17 when you are taking the 10/20 I would be tempted to take another body with me as then you have a spare like like buy a k5ii take them bothe and if you don't like it you still have the k30 to drop back on and if any thing goes wrong with your k 30 you are not without a ca...

do i need an upgrade from the K30?
Ref my last post - back-packing means just that, no suitcase etc., because it's all on your back! Would you really carry an extra body when you HAVE to carry spare clothes, hygiene kit, medicinal items, documents, etc., etc.? PS: we DID have suitcases when we went on holiday, and it was hard ...

do i need an upgrade from the K30?
Quite a few differences ... although they both have strong supporters and users who love them! K5iis has 16 megapixels / k3 24mp Both have no aa filter over the sensor, but the K3 adds a new 'aa filter simulator' that uses sensor shake technology to simulate the effect of the aa filter if you ...

do i need an upgrade from the K30?
My take would be that the K-5iis reads as the last of the old processor units. The newer K-30 / K-3 etc units have different processor types and different coding for the tasks. An example of this is the variety of video control options and recording formats on the newer bodies (1080p at 24, 25...

Hi Vic If you are a plus member you can access the mag back issues, found under 'Shop' then 'Magazine Back Issues' on the links at the top of the page. I think you need summer 2001. Bob

John. The sample images are good to see. Also I remember seeing your "CHIPS" shot way back in 2012 I think? I didn't know it was on an EI2000. It's amazing just how good it was "and I suppose still is" for 2.25 megapixels. I still wonder why Pentax never put the tilting screen on any other cameras. ...

(manual focus) Tokina Lens Problem!
Hey there, I bought two old lenses (RMC Tokina 80-200 4.5, RMC Tokina 28mm 2.8 ). The lenses themselves seem in fine condition. They are both old manual focus. However, the shutter just simply won't fire when I have them attached. I'm sure they have the right mount, but my camera doesn't work when t...

(manual focus) Tokina Lens Problem!
Assuming you are using a modern dslr, have you given the camera permission to release the shutter when a lens is set to anything other than 'A'? (manual lenses don't have 'A' so they come in this category). There is a specific menu item towards the end of the 'capture' or 'custom' series. It is s...

(manual focus) Tokina Lens Problem!
Thanks guys, problem solved! It is a shame that it's stuck wide open...I'm guessing there's no way around that?

Have you tried pressing the green button?

myles, to control aperture, or simply to shoot?

If they are 'A' variants then aperture control should work from the body. Otherwise you have to select lenses with a manual aperture ring on the lens itself

(manual focus) Tokina Lens Problem!
If there's no "A" setting on the aperture ring, the aperture will always be wide open unless using "M" (manual) mode on the camera. I always shoot in M mode with my old lenses (and often with my new ones too, due to the K200D's erratic metering).

(manual focus) Tokina Lens Problem!
Also be aware that for the green button to perform stop down metering thare has to be an electrical connection between one of more of the contacts on the camera's mount and it's body. Many old manual lenses are anodise or lacquered and you need to grind this off on a segment of the lens mount in ...
