We're getting some good thoughts from this thread. I'm still mulling it over. As regards macro, Nigel is right that to get the same magnification with FF as with APS-C we would need to move closer. Of course we can't move closer than 1:1 anyway as the lens won't focus any closer. Fortunately flash w...

We are just back from the NEC, so a blog a bit later on, but a decision has been made. I have just ordered a K-3 for Sue. She loved the K-1 and was very impressed by its speed, although she found it a bit heavy. That would have been OK, but the clincher was that she definitely wants a built in fl...

Think I would put the brakes on and see what the feed back comes from the new camera. Regards Ian

Pentax Image Sync (iPhone - App)
Image Sync works with the built in camera Wi-Fi with the phone logging on to the camera's local Wi-Fi hot spot. Nothing to do with the flu card which was their earlier method of transferring photos. The new Wi-fi system leaves both camera card slots free for memory cards whereas the Flu card takes...

K-3ii half press feedback
I use the back button for AF but just checked on Auto and it doesn't seem to have an tactile feedback either. On a recent trip I was taking photos of people with their cameras of various sort, and distinctly remember none of the Nikon had any either. Seems that's the standard now? With the beep t...

K-3ii half press feedback
My K3 is fine no noticable difference to K5 I used to have. I've not used back button much so not qualified to comment.

K-3ii half press feedback
Sorry to hijack the post but it's a related point I use back button af but have found on k3ii I have to half press the shutter button to activate the back button, can't find any way to change this. Anyone have any ideas? Sure K5 didn't need to do this Kind regards Pete A

K-3ii half press feedback
Hi Pete, Not the case on my K3 either, just tried it and works fine from power on. MK II glitch perhaps? I note there have been no firmware updates of late presumably the next will be for the new full frame lenses. Sorry to hijack the post but it's a related point I use back button af but have...

Had a little accident..
So after 5 minutes under the sink with gentle work with old toothbrush the camera is like new. Weather sealing onK3 II works. As for the lens: 1 hour of careful work with q-tips, hobby knife (to get into small gaps), baking paper ( nice smooth and a bit stiff gets between zoom ring and body to drag...

Pentax K20D
I used the K20D until about a year ago, and went back to it when my K-3 needed repair a few weeks ago. It was a good camera, and still is, used within its limitations. I found that much above ISO400 on the K20D was pretty ugly, whereas with the K-3 I'll happily use ISO1600, and sometimes 3200. Mo...

Pentax K20D
I had a K20D for several years before replacing it (after nearly a year side-by-side) with a K5IIs. Some of my K20D photos, including 12x18" prints, are as good as any I have taken with the K5. Its disadvantages for me - taking mainly landscape and buildings - were principally autofocus and low-li...

typical pentax
Last time I looked we were still in spring. In any case, the grass isn't always greener - friend of mine has had a new N***** D5** on order for several months and his expected delivery date keeps getting put back and the camera he expected in February is now scheduled for late May (possibly).

typical pentax
Well I take some of it back. Merchant city cameras in Glasgow had a touchy feely session with a K1 and a very helpful informative Ricoh rep. April 25th is the date of arrival although preorders will be the first served. A very nice piece of kit and the articulating screen works well and is very stur...

*istD comparable to?
Switched from 1st DL to K-50 never looked back . Everything I need , nothing I don't. Still using 1st DL as back up and have no problem switching bAck and forth. Price wise , it's a great time to buy the K50. Lot of camera for the money
