First images from FF (K-1?)
To be honest I'd rather they did not focus on improving their marketing, else we'd see a price jump of circa 50%. Lets just say we enjoy being negative and paying little for a lot :p Hopefully Ricoh is way too busy to read forums too often ;) I work in marketing for an organisation with a £30 mill...

K-R wheel not working......
Recently had the same issue with the KS1 - apparently it's a fairly common problem between the two models - there are threads on PF about it - something about too much lubricant 'flooding' stuff inside. Sent mine for service and it was back in less than 4 days from Johnson's Petopia. They did end ...

K5iis or k3 question.
I have the K5, K5iis and K3 and used them alternately. I use the K3 for modern lenses and the K5 & K5iis for manual focus lenses. I don't notice a difference but then I shoot in Manual Mode. Lawrence

Why I Won't Buy a K1 (FF) - and Other Topics
In an USA based, International K3 Forum there is a thread "Why I Won"t Buy a K3" which has some what varied from the title subject matter to become more of social thread covering everything from cheese sandwiches to the weather with some even more irrelevent topics in between. http://www.pentax...

Am I ready to step up to Dslr - do I need to?
Firstly and perhaps you guys are going to tell me that this isn't a reason to upgrade, autofocus speed and shutter lag. I have a two year old he moves quickly and the bridge often lets me down when doing a bit of candid photography with him as he moves too fast for the camera, and although you do ha...

Am I ready to step up to Dslr - do I need to?
I have been using a K30 for the last 3 years and photographing rugby and football matches and not had any auto focus speed issues and at the minute the deals going on the K50 make it one of the best on offer and it has the superb Sony 16mp sensor.

Am I ready to step up to Dslr - do I need to?
I went from Minolta A200 bridge via a Canon G9 to Pentax DSLR's I had KX then KR before moving up to K5 and this year K3 (I bought late ones on last two for best value). The biggest short comings of bridge cameras for me were their tiny sensors. Poor control of depth of field, burnt out highligh...

Am I ready to step up to Dslr - do I need to?
I've been reading a few reviews on the KS2 and K3 following on from the great feedback on these boards. The snag ibseem to be coming across with the KS2 is the 11 point autofocus not being as good as other models. How do you guys who have used the KS2 feel it compares in autofocus speed compared ...

Am I ready to step up to Dslr - do I need to?
I use K-3 ii, K-5 and K-S2, my daughter the Pentax X-5 bridge camera. Each in their own right are good cameras and excellent value for money. The K-5 was my favourite and although I still have a soft spot for it, both the K-3 ii and K-S2 leave it behind. If you can afford the K-3 ii, it will ...

Am I ready to step up to Dslr - do I need to?
Like Bruce I bought a Pentax K50 after handling similarly priced models, and have been really pleased with it. Whilst it is now the second cheapest in the Pentax range I wouldn't class it as an entry level camera as it has properties only found in mid-range models from Canon/Nikon. For a summary of ...

duplicated images
When I download from my Pentax K-x to a PC the shots are duplicated Has anyone else had the same problem? It is a pain to have to delete all the second shots! Is there a cure, do I have to go back to factory settings, if so how do I do it?

Ricoh Pentax awful customer service
I have long been a big fan and defender at times of Pentax, having owned 6 Pentax/Ricoh Cameras and have probably got them a few sales over the years and I have even been a Pentax Ricoh ambassador. But my experience with them and my K-3 has got me thinking I'll never touch them again. At the s...

Ricoh Pentax awful customer service
I agree with the general sentiment expressed above about Ricoh as a company...its a complete basket case. For a global corporation with turnover of about $18 Billion (say £13 Billion) the way it treats its customers is an absolute disgrace. I've been waiting for the princely sum of £40 cashback ...

Ricoh Pentax awful customer service
I undestand your frustration but is coming on here with this sort of action the way to deal with it????? SRS always offered me the VERY best service and I rarely buy anywhere else. Also, if the official service centre beleive the fault is caused by an outside influence that the warranty does not c...

Ricoh Pentax awful customer service
As I stated I have always had a good service with SRS but I would have thought that as the product was purchased through them then they should have either repaired or replaced the faulty item and then claimed the cost back from the manufacturers. I had this some years ago with a new car that was rub...
