Hi all, It says on the Pentax firmware page for the K-3 Mark III firmware version V2.00 the following... Added Type 3 to the item of the AF.C tracking AF point method. Added focus sensitivity setting item for AF.C. What does the first item mean and where is the AF.C focus sensitivity setti...

Zeiss Otus lens on Pentax K1 - focal length & general compatibility
Hello forum, I've fallen in love with a Zeiss Otus 55mm 1.4 full-frame. It comes with either Canon or Nikon mount. Does anyone here have any experience with using an adoptor from Nikon mount to Pentax mount with a Pentax camera? Does an adaptor mean that aperture will function automatic...

Zeiss Otus lens on Pentax K1 - focal length & general compatibility
I reviewed the Otus in January 2016, here: https://www.ephotozine.com/article/zeiss-otus-55mm-f-1-4-lens-review-28738 It's a manual focus lens, but only available in Nikon F and Canon EF mounts. Very nearly as good, AF and a much lower price is the HD Pentax-F DA* 50mm f/1.4 which I think wou...

Zeiss Otus lens on Pentax K1 - focal length & general compatibility
The Pentax lens gives you AF and better handling on the K-1. It is also a superb lens. The Zeiss costs nearly four times as much and isn't made in Pentax fit, so any adapter is bound to be more clunky than no adapter, even if one is available. Also, do you porefer manual focus? If not, there's no...

K1 stiff top dial
I sent my K1, which i assumed to be in excellent conditon, to Wex for a part exchange and they have come back to me saying to top dial to the right of the LCD screen is stiff, and that it needs a repair for which they will get a quote. I asked if they had compared it to other K1's but apparently not...

Birding lens
Another vote for the DA*300mm f4 + 1.4 teleconverter (can't comment on the other lenses as I don't have them). The reason I chose this route when wanting a lens for birds was hearing a talk by a semi-pro bird photographer. He had spent years using huge, heavy, long tele f2.8 lenses with film. Having...

Birding lens
Thanks all for the advice and comments, I’ve just got back into birding after a break of more years than I can remember (kinda retired part time so have a bit of time to get out and about). I started to look at getting a new camera and lens but soon realised that it would cost the price of a small ...

Birding lens
I am in the same same position. I have a K5ii and use a 50-500 Bigma. I have spent a few years in Spain so the Bigma worked very well, now back in the UK it hunts a lot unless in good light. Its weight is not a problem as I use a wheelchair and either monopod or beanbag. Hoping to get some good sho...

That Murphy bloke must be a bloody magician.... the smegger knows where I am most of the time as well!! I am errring towards the K-S2.... mainly because of Wifi and flippy flappy screen! BUT.... The aperture thing has got me worried. My main camera is a K3, and k5ii is my back up. I use the K-...

Loving my Pentax K200D
I have recently downsized all my mirrorless camera gear, down to a old but amazing Olympus Stylus 1, a brilliant little camera great to slip into a coat pocket and with it's 28-300mm f2.8 zoom, covers most situations. But I went out the other day with my K200D and fell in love again with my Pentax a...
