In what order..........?
Ok I'll butt in here too, I have absolutely no formulas to back up my experience, only my results, and for me. While adding tubes certainly does allow closer focusing, it also increases the magnification, Much the same as you would when using a handheld magnifying glass, by moving it closer ...

My tuppence worth.... Isn't it Euros in Wicklow? Or do you know something that hasn't hit the headlines yet??? :wink: You're absolutely right, of course, about magnification and closer focusing. The closer the subject is to the lens, the bigger the image and thus magnification. When the subject i...

K3 machinegunning
I haven't been on the forum for a long time so I have cheek in coming to ask for some help. As the title says, my K3 has on a few occasions been "machine gunning" this usually happens if the battery is getting low and it is a bit cold. Today it happened when it was set to TAV and twice in quic...

K3 machinegunning
I seem to remember something about this ages back and the fact it was addressed in a firmware update. I may have just made that up but I would certainly update the firmware anyway.

Pentax KP - Does all I need..... or it would do if I could make sense of the manual!
I had several problems with 'customising' my KP - no, not a paint job, just finding the things I'd been hoping for. I'm a keen follower of several YouTube 'vloggers' and, of course, none use a Pentax.... but I quite liked the ease that they had with their Canons, Fujifilms, Nikons etc in doing certa...

Pentax KP - Does all I need..... or it would do if I could make sense of the manual!
1. No visible histogram in either the viewfinder or Live View (that I can find). (Though it's brilliant in the Image Playback) - This means that, when in Manual mode, I have to just guess that my exposure is going to be right - or else be forced to use what the electronics tell me to use. You can ge...

Pentax KP - Does all I need..... or it would do if I could make sense of the manual!
I suppose there's just one remaining question...... "Depth of Field Bracketing"....... but I've just tried it out by following the manual. It's probably better to stick with manually altering the focus point, with camera on tripod. Again, the tiny little icons in the manual defeated me, or the camer...

Pentax KP - Does all I need..... or it would do if I could make sense of the manual!
I have to admit that I'm not enjoying the KP...... I'd go back to my K5ii but I was keen to get the KP for the flexible screen and the extra 8Mp. I look forward to seeing the next APS-C in the pipeline... The KP was an interesting hybrid between what had previously been two quite different product ...

Pentax KP - Does all I need..... or it would do if I could make sense of the manual!
Title got me thinking a bit, and have always felt the Pentax manuals (and menus to some degree - same concept) were very engineering/technical focussed, but lacked a translation document to suggest when you might want to use a particular feature. Example being say tracking focus on the K-3. Depe...

New APS-C camera soon - images.
No dual card button? trend seems to be going back to one card....Nikon did that with the D7*00 series.

New APS-C camera soon - images.
KO perhaps in boxing 🥊 For naming the Pentax flagship crop body, that might be a bit too close to the K-01 - regarded as a marmite camera, loved by some Pentaxians but generally considered ill-conceived by others. Philip Ah yes the Fisher Price you styled brick by Mark somebody. Yeah di...

New APS-C camera soon - images.
Coronavirus has closed some of the Ricoh factories, along with all the other manufacturers, so even as they get back to work the flow of products has slowed right down. I think it was Canon who were explaining that a lot of parts were sourced from China, so it will take time.

Update on new APS-C apparently
So, three new lenses including the DFA 85 f1.4mm. I guess the new *series DA zoom will be launched with the new camera which now looks like the end of this year. A new 21mm Limited which looks juicy! In talking about the new APS-C body it was as if mirrorless had never happened, concentrating on the...

Update on new APS-C apparently
The video only highlighted the viewfinder and tracking focus, nothing was said about the rear screen tilting or otherwise, nor the sensor, nor other features. It was to whet the appetite but too soon to give out the full spec.

Update on new APS-C apparently
I'm hoping they will include a focus stacking function. Others have done it, but not Ricoh/Pentax as yet.

Update on new APS-C apparently
I agree with Mannesty, it would be great to have inbuilt focus stacking. The bigger view finder view will be welcome, personally I can't see the problem with Pentax staying as a DSLR maker, I suspect the main part of the market will go mirrorless, that doesn't mean there won't be room in the marke...
