Someone's journey to Pentax DSLRs
Mind you, I can't help thinking that it's less about finding the perfect camera and more about finding out what you really want from a camera. Steve Great point. Seems to be a split between what it’s like to shoot with, and then later what it’s like to develop the final image. Missing focus on...

Someone's journey to Pentax DSLRs
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing my article on here. It is very much appreciated and I appreciate you taking the time to read it. I am very happy that I have joined the Pentax family. I haven't looked back since first picking up the K1 II.

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
I am thinking about investing in a ND filter set and Polarizer. I have looked at the offerings from Lee and SRB but wonder about the practicality (and cost difference) of just investing in the ND Fader type (Circular) and Circular Polarizer. I have a range of lens that 77mm and 67mm will fit so ...

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
No experience of the fader design. Lee is a great kit but expensive. As far as focus goes you want to be doing that before you put the filter on the lens :D

pentax pixel shift question..

K50 - first shot long exposure
Whenever I turn on my K50, the first shot seems to take several seconds, I focus, take the shot, the mirror comes up, viewfinder darkens as it stops down but then the mirror stays up for up to 5 seconds. After that every subsequent shot is fine. I also have the flash indicator in the viewfinder flas...

*ist DS colour issue
Can you upload the original jpeg, straight out of camera (not one messed about with in Photoshop?) Best to eliminate processing issues first. Also try doing a default setting on the camera to see it that resolves it ('Back to initial settings'.) Is this closer?

*ist DS colour issue
I was worried it was a physical issue too, but hoped there was some kind of daft setting I had changed, admittedly not something I look for much online, but the entire 'green' sensor part of the CCD failing in one go seems a bit odd. Just in case, here is a link to .jpg version and a 'photos...

Do I switch to another brand?
There is no reason to switch apart from the lack of choice with regards to lenses especially for third party lenses. There seems to me to be no development or new products in the Pentax range and I am concerned what the future holds for Pentax users. What lenses are perceived to be unavailable? T...

Do I switch to another brand?
lens alone would not be enough to convince me to switch from Pentax, ( I know because I already switched from Pentax to Sony) . Simply put... Pentax lenses generally are superb and usually value priced in their respective classes. for example... My WR DA 100mm macro.... I have an adapter with ap...

Do I switch to another brand?
My 2 cents is it really depends on what you shoot. Pentax has genuine strengths in stills images, especially static still life studio product work, and outdoor landscapes (where it's real weather sealing does shine). It's not so good when it comes to tracking objects (specifically keeping obje...

Do I switch to another brand?
Even my Nikon D500 has a fairly annoying problem, It doesn't have Pentax on the front. Apart from that I think it's pretty much the perfect APS-C DSLR (for me anyway). Saying that my K-1 still goes out with me 99% of the time. Though, for me, the limitation is purely the user, if I had to switch bra...

Do I switch to another brand?
[quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"] SRS do a Pentax Hire service, so you could simply hire a camera to try out. Perfect, thanks John. At £130 for three days, plus probably hiring the 24-70 lens to compliment it for 3 days, runs at £180 total which unfortunately isn’t a particularly short sum... approxim...

Do I switch to another brand?
Slight hiccup - they're in Watford. I'm in S. W. Wales. I don't know whether it's economic for me to drive there and back to test a camera for an hour... I shall continue to think on this matter! :D Well use a more local dealer then : eg Carmarthen Cameras, Zion Chapel, Mansel Street, Carmarthe...

Sigma
Hi, I read a disturbing article a few days ago that Sigma will no longer produce their lenses with the Pentax K mount. Due, apparently, to plummeting Pentax DSLR sales. (Sigma words not mine). Given that there has not been a successor to the K3II (first released 4.1/2 years ago now, in fact the K3 ...

Sigma
Maybe Sigma are about to join the likes of Woolworths, Jessops, BHS, Thomas Cook etc. cutting back to the bone to try and keep solvent. Sigma is doomed! (It isn't Pentax stopping new lenses and cameras after all.)

Why do we need more AF points?
I am generally confused about the need for more AF points as rumoured for the newly announcements K Flagship. Before I a) sell my DA* lenses or b) start syphoning off funds into that hidden PayPal account (to purchase said ‘flagship’). I could do with understanding more about the benefits. I ...
