I think I've got an iso related KS-2 problem. Advice please.
Without owning one, can't you just use the ISO button on the back? Hold it in whilst turning a dial?

capture clip for bags
Hello, anyone tried these? https://www.camforpro.com/peak-design-capture-clip-v2/?gclid=CjwKEAiA58a1BRDw6Jan_PLapw8SJABJz-ZWbhvRyN7V1zk2HjjIGqsuR-987l5qH1EVHd5h1pfnQxoCol7w_wcB i am tempted as it looks like a good way to carry the camera without having the long strap, and without having to put i...

New camera body to replace K100D
Long term, for your info, I jumped from a K-100d to a K-30 and found the process relatively seamless and the results excellent. Pentax offer the K-30 / K-50 / K-S2 line for just this sort of progression, and their pricing is competitive. The other line they do is the K-7 / K-5 / K-3 range, which...

Full-frame Survey
Hopefully that survey bodes well. Be odd to see Pentax back as the top brand but who knows!

K5IIs versus K5
I still have my K5 as a back up, or the wife uses it, I suppose I noticed about a 5% increase in detail re the lack of antialiasing filter, for me thou, the low light focus and IQ is better. I also think the autofocus is marginally quicker as well, whilst of no use on landscapes

K5IIs versus K5
Assessments via monitor screens, especially of 'web-sized' jpegs will always be fraught by inconsistency. The resizing algorithm applied for that final jpeg version may well be the overriding determining factor, and certainly RAW ' capture sharpening', which will be as varied as the number of progra...

K5IIs versus K5
This lens test taken with a KiiS and 12-24mm that's poor on the RHS shows that a good body isn't much use if the lens is bad..... see barge shot (bottom/right) large and normal versions. https://www.pentaxuser.com/review/pentax-smc-p-da-12-24mm-f-4-0-ed-al-lens-review-789 -- Would love to know...

K5IIs versus K5
I would say you're looking at it exactly the same as me Kris, which is to put it into a wider context. Taken in isolation, the presence or not of the AA filter on a modern DSLR is going to be of far less significance than many other factors. I agree, Nigel. One of those significant factors could...

K5IIs versus K5
A tricky but very valid question from sportyman531.... That depends on the image content, the degree of enlargement and the viewer's visual acuity. It's very true that at normal viewing distances the requirements for sharpness and fine detail are not as high as when our favourite competition judg...

lol. Anyone can patent a silly idea. Even some good ideas have been patented but never came to anything. Like this one you link to hasn't in 13 years.. :) now you sound like a lot of guys in this very forum when I was saying VIDEO was coming... The k10 didn't have it.. but the kx did... so I was...

OK Nostradamus, you've had your fun. I'll leave you with this thought. If the rear screen was going to be removable, there would be little point in developing such a convoluted and 'mental' articulation mechanism. You said 'Call me crazy'... Well, I did because the idea is bonkers :D actually t...

... it's the way the back of the screen seems to have a clip holder and that clip holder is attached to the camera that makes me think the screen can be separated at the clip holder for removal... that clip holder seems redundant a simpler hinge would have sufficed. ;) the screen looks like a self ...

A lack of vision/imagination on your end does not equate to " a silly idea without a single practical purpose." :wink: Go-pro is a serious camera that has been used on many TV productions and feature films. please try not to be condescending unless you are sure you're right. one single practica...

fixed long lens
Would your ideal lens be in the range of your current zoom or are you after something longer? Are you after a prime because that zoom is too heavy? If so, not all zooms are. Or is it that you want better, if not top notch quality? The lens that comes to mind is a Pentax SMC DA* 300mm f/4 ED SDM, ...

fixed long lens
Thanks for your advice. Yes, I was looking for longer focal length. Slightly surprised the primes are heavier than the zooms. I don't mind manual focus (he says bravely). Is there a fixed lens around 400mm?

fixed long lens
Those primes are faster = bigger heavier glass. No current Pentax 400mm though there are some in the back catalogue (eg SMC Pentax-A 400mm F5.6.) The 300mm I mentioned will give you better images than a third rate 400mm that can be cropped. 400mm primes will normally be quite a bit heavier than I ...
