KP vs K1 Image Quality
I am a bit confused when you say the K1 doesn’t have edge peaking for live view manual focusing, check the menu because it does. I use it mostly when focus stacking but it is best switched off for night shots.

KP vs K1 Image Quality
David I currently have both. I have not done any straight comparison shot but feel Image quality wise ithe K1 has a slight adavantage but do not feel the difference is significant. What i feel does work in the K1's advantage is how the focus falls of as a result of larger sensor, on the other han...

KP vs K1 Image Quality
Hi All A quick update on my search for lenses to use with the K1. Whilst I'm looking for some nice, cheap primes that can do the K1's sensor justice, I also need some travel / walk-around zooms. I had already purchased the DFA 28-105, with a view to testing this against some other lenses to see...

K1 viewfinder compared to ME-Super
The first thing is to make sure the dioptre adjustment is made correctly. This should be adjusted until the etched lines in the viewfinder are sharpest and is best done looking at a plain surface or an out of focus subject. Then, the Pentax cameras that use a proper glass pentaprism will look much b...

K1 viewfinder compared to ME-Super
The ME Super and ME F had very good viewfinders with 0.95% magnification and 92% coverage, better than the original ME (0.87/92%) Best of all in the manual focus era of SLR's from Pentax was the MX at 0.97magnification and 95% coverage.

K3 iii delayed again.
Also, Nikon are closing their Japanese factories and moving to Thailand I think. I believe there is also a plan in place to reduce Japan’s dependence on China by moving production back home so there could be friction and difficulties in supplies there.

Pentax KP Discontinued?
Yep, I think they scheduled it to be discontinued right before the K3 III was due out, in order to maximise sales of the new camera, but of course that's been put back. So currently the only APS-C DSLR Pentax have in production is the K-70...

K-70 LCD Display
Hi. I'm back on the forum after a delay of many years, having just upgraded from a 12-year old K10D to a K-70. Loving the extra detail a 24Mp sensor gives me over the previous 10Mp! However, I'm baffled by the apparent lack of a simple way to turn off (or on) the rear LCD monitor; I want it to co...

Pentax K-3 Mark III now available to pre-order!
We'd been primed and new it wouldn't be a cheap bit of kit. Now we can sit back and wait for the heated debates over the reviews and the performance.

Pentax K-3 Mark III now available to pre-order!
The price is more or less what we expected. I've had a read through DPR's initial write-up and it looks like a beautiful machine in every way, it's just a shame it's so expensive. DPR so far almost managing to hold back on their usual "only really a viable option for existing Pentax users" disclai...

If you are a Nikon or Canon user you are going to be under pressure to switch to their mirrorless systems as their DSLR ranges get quietly dropped and the future secondhand values of their lenses look bleak. Given that adapters are only a stopgap this will require buying into a whole new system so ...

not to worried about GPS. I think the real winner in this camera will be the joy stick control of auto focus points , the bright crystal clear view finder and also the super bright rear screen with touch response. at least what i gathered in the hands on video of the k3 iii

USB charging is much more convenient even if it does take longer Until the socket breaks! I had a radio with USB charging, but alas it charges no more. Also my cousin's phone USB socket broke too. They're a weak point so seemingly from experience not always a reliable method. The issue is they're ...

Agreed that there should be no duty payable. Shipping would be £6.50 ("products from £100" in the quoted extract). However, when I bought a lens from them a couple of years ago there was an extra charge (about 5 euro) for having paid with a Visa credit card. And now there's the possibility of the de...
