K1 Mk 2 review - disappointing to say the least
I don’t care how much of a pro photographer you are I just don’t believe you can assess ANY camera just by using it for a couple of hours. If you are a Nikon or Canon user (as most of them are) then you will be familiar with the menus and operations so maybe you could with one of their offerings, bu...

I think I have found my new photo taking place
Hello all, We have recently moved from Australia to NZ. I am slowly working my way through my Australia images as we traveled Western Australia, and I am posting them in the gallery. But since moving to NZ, things have been pretty busy with us settling in, but yesterday was first chance we have h...

Weatherproofing - Lifespan
My K3ii failed on a recent holiday to Zimbabwe where spray and rain from Victoria Falls entered the camera which was being used with the WR 16-85mm lens. The LCD steamed up within 15 minutes of being at the falls! The camera was 18 months old and it killed the light meter. For the rest of the holida...

Is it not a matter of degree? Being caught out in a rainstorm doesn't seem to faze any of my Pentax bodies, but maybe the torrential downpour of a gargantuan waterfall plus the spray might be a challenge. It also then depends on where the water gets in, whether or not the lens is fully WR or simplif...

"Dakar Rally" ! When I was at college (decades ago!) one of the Uni Motor Club rallied a pretty new Mini Moke (!, but it was very light and "fast", given that it only had the basic Mini 848cc motor - and that he was a bit of a "maniac" driver) and then took it back after a rally because something...

I worked in an outdoor store, and waterproof packs suited most who would be out on day walks/basic overnighters. Every once in a while a 'real' tramper would come back to complain that their pack leaked. Reality was they weren't as good as advertised, when really put to the test. I think Pent...

K1... Bulb timer !!
Fot the K-1 (not K-1ii) The BULB timer was part of the 1.40 firmware update. When in BULB mode the bottom right of the lcd display will show a green button icon and a timer symbol. Press the green button (on the back of the camera) and the timer can now be set with the front dial. If you w...

Cheep K1 but no Lenses
Answer 1. All your current lenses can be used on the K1 in crop mode, where the K1 will just use an aps-c sized portion of the sensor. This may be useful to you if you cannot acquire FF lenses just yet. Answer2. Some aps-c designated lenses can be used on the K1 in FF with no or little vignetting...

Cheep K1 but no Lenses
Surely you’d just pick up some legacy glass? Slap a cheap manual focus 50mm lens on and you’re away. As always, depends what you want to take photos of.

Outstanding customer service
Hi The KS 2 I purchased from SRS just over 3 years ago recently developed a fault. It had been perfect until recently when it has started to underexpose the first shots following a period of being powered down or switched off. The fault still occurred despite trying different lenses, trying diffe...

AP K-1 Field Test
they are not internal focussing, so the filter holder and filters turn with the lenses...not a problem if you are using MF on a tripod but when you forget to turn off AF then the filters spln with centrifugal force.... DA* and D-FA* are IF but the don't suit the Lee 100 system as the lens diameters...

Kr Whiteout Problem.
Could the exposure compensation have been set at +3 or more stops, thus totally over-exposing every image? I don't think so John, she turned the camera off when she was having the problem and the exposure compensation was on zero when I turned it back on earlier this evening. Alan

K5 V k30
don't know what the K30 is like in low light to focus but the K5 is very good if you do that sort of thing, better than the K3ii in my opinion (using same lenses)

K1 ii and astrophotography review
Nice review, and love the images. I'm somewhat torn with this type of use, as the K-1/Pentax DSLR's are marketed/obviously good performers in landscape and astro work, but at the same time I'm not seeing anything that requires an optical viewfinder for this work. Live view and digital zoom/focus...
