Full Frame teaser - Spring 2016!
So being able to pull back 6 stops on a K-5 doesn't appeal :shock: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3910418 --

K 50 focus problem?
I am currently holidaying with a 3 month old K50, which has about 2000 shutter activations, and it has intermittently started to refuse to focus. I am using a Sigma 17-70 lens. There seems to be no pattern . It occurs in good light, with no particular subject. I have tried different AF patterns, m...

K 50 focus problem?
I also have a 17-70mm Sigma lens which won't focus properly towards the long end when the aperture is wide, so I stop down with ISO set to Auto and then it works fine. Happens with both cameras, the K-50 and my K-01. No other lens I have behaves this way.

K 50 focus problem?
Thanks Steve I will change lenses and see how that goes. It is strange though as I have had that Sigma for a year or so on my KX. No problems but it was not used heavily at home. here in France it has done several thousand shots. Who knows?

K 50 focus problem?
I should mention that mine was bought 2nd hand, so possibly it's a fault that the seller failed to mention or it's an inherent issue with the lens. Either way I work around it :)

K-m Power on issue
Given the price you can pick one up for - I would suggest it is time for a replacement or an upgrade. If you really do want another Km - a quick look on ebay shows that a number have sold recently for between £40 and £70. There is one for sale currently with 1 day to go at a start price of £59 a...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
I did the same thing a couple of months ago (bought a K3 II), quite unintentionally; because when the FF launch was delayed; I couldn't wait till next year and had passed on a Canon FF to my daughter some months earlier, which I could'nt extract from her grip. So with the delay announced and a...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
stepping up to the new camera has made me realise how hard I had to work with the K-30 to get things right. Not that the K-30 was a bad camera at all (on the contrary) but for the number of shoots I was doing, it was really hard-going. That's what I found moving from the K-100d to the K-30, it w...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
I often find myself jumping between settings for the likes of anything that's out of the ordinary. Swapping to spot metering for doing sun/backlit portraits etc, where anything other than spot will lead to underexposed heads. It's this sort of area that I'd like to see progress in, as in detecting...

K-3 II I've taken the plunge and the risk
I've succumbed as well; my new K-3II arrived this morning. First impressions with the 20-40 are very favourable indeed, and am keen to try out the pixel shift tech. My trusty K-5 will stay as the back-up. No interest at all in the 35mm frame (beyond admiring its curvy shape); looks like I'm going...

A Ks1 in blue is available for around £205..... I am tempted..... Uh oh.....
Down to the £200 mark or so from what looks like a reputable German ebay dealer/shop. Huge +ive feedback. I am tempted by this now as I doubt it's ever going to get cheaper and would go nicely with my K5 and seems tailor made for the 35mm 2.4. Or the 40mm, really compact for general traipsing rou...

Indeed I am, though I should be working... K-S1 It's a pentax with a smaller/non existent grip and a small buffer. (On RAW + JPG I get about 4 shots before it starts hesitating, and that's with a fast SD card.) There's honestly nothing more to say about it. It's not weather sealed. Yes...

Revisiting this, I got one as the price was right. It was never my intention to own one of these and I did my fair share of slagging it off when it was announced. The thing is though, that now it's fallen to a much lower price point, it fairs exceptionally well against the competition. It's st...

My girls would love those flavoured ones. It's actually a great camera if you want a DSLR and have small hands. Fleur fits into that boat, and so do my young daughters. I personally don't have huge hands, but I find the grips on the K-30 etc to be a bit tight at times, specifically where your f...

Firmware updates bring bug-fixes and add compatibility to more recent gear that was developed after the specific camera was released. This is the industry standard. Period. Look it's very hard to have a discussion like this on this particular forum site, because references to other brands are fr...

I have a K-S1 and a K-30 too :D The common thread from K-S1 owners is they really like it, and they can overlook it's design flaws/limitations because of the purchase price. I opt for my K-S1 over my K-30 most of the time now, and I agree with it having a 'mirrorless' feel about it, if we want...

Same old story - where is Pentax?
The worrying trend is for those huge lap top type devices being brandished in tight spaces, blocking the view of more serious photographers trying to get decent shots. David Totally agree there. Going back to my original point - what I'm trying to say is it would be lovely to see a few extra Pen...

Same old story - where is Pentax?
John Riley mentioned Pentax diversity - went to Specsavers, all their lenses are Pentax! Also I read that Pentax telescope eyepieces are very highly rated for astronomy so maybe they are prolific in other areas of specialist scientific optics. Specsavers own the brand name Pentax for use with specta...
