ESPIO 110 - H1, H2 errors
HELP, I have been using this particular camera for 6 years now and the photographs have always been excellent. On my latest holiday it failed halfway through a film with an H1 followed by H2. It was as though the film was not winding on. I initially thought that it was a battery problem and repla...

Pentax UK Repair Dept. - Pentax UK Repair Dept.
Hi, I am writing to discover if other customers of the Pentax UK repair department have experienced similar difficulties to me. I have used Pentax cameras for 25 years. In July this year I sent my immaculate and recently purchased Pentax LX to Pentax UK to repair a loose DoF button. It was retu...

MZ-S Auto Exposure Lock Misworded?
It works on mine. You will get a change to the exposure if your lens has a variable aperture because the aperture will be smaller at the telephoto end. For example the 24-90mm I tried it on is f/4.5 at the 90mm setting and when you zoom back it changes to f/3.5.

Pentax 10x50 PCF WP binos - they're fogging up
According to our service contact at Pentax PCF WP binoculars will not fog on the inside elements due to there being nitrogen inside. When warm humid air meets a cold boundary condensation occurs. One of the benefits of filling binoculars with nitrogen is that moisture is removed thus preventing fog...

UCF 8-16x21 Binocular collimation - Help on collimating binoculars
Gary I'm sorry if you thought I was just knocking your binoculars, I was just trying to give you the facts of the matter. If you've tried adjusting them on a mount and can't get a good image they probably are faulty. I don't believe there's any repair you could do yourself so if they are still...

Reliable Pentax Repairer ?
I've just bought a 2nd hand MX on Ebay. It takes good photo's but there are two problems with it. 1) There is very noticable "mirror bounce", after the shutter has closed and the mirror drops back into position it bounces. This is visible in the viewfinder and while it doesn't affect the results ...

Reliable Pentax Repairer ?
Andrew You can try Pentax but I wouldn't hold out too much hope that they'll fix it. I sent my Super A to Pentax when the rewind spindle was sticking every now and then as I wound the film on. A little turn of the rewind knob would free it so I thought a clean and lubricate should do the job. ...

Hola margafv ?Como esta? Wow! That is the quickest lens failure recorded on this forum - you should get a prize from Pentax!! :lol: As you can see from this forum, many people have had the same problem and each time, Pentax blame the customer for either dropping it, forcing the lens on it or...

Optio S problem...
Did anybody ever get any good news back from Pentax, or figure out a way to fix this problem? I pulled my camera out of my pocket today and the lens was stuck halfway out. It sounds like the same problem you guys had, maybe. Did the lens just get stuck on something (maybe a piece of sand in your...

Same problem with mine (bought 16 months ago, so it's out of warranty). Lens stuck in the "out" position; depressing the "on/off" button causes beeping, brief display of green light round on/off switch and focus status light by viewfinder; and main window is illuminated for about 3 seconds - then no...

Optio S problem...
This stuck lense issue certainly seems to be a common problem. I had the same problem with my Optio S at 11 months into the warranty, but unlike most of the other stories here, Pentax were excellent. I rang the service centre, told them the problem and they advised I send it to them. I sent it ...

I've got the same len stuck problem. Fristly, it stuck in the "out" position. I played on every combination of the buttons, removed the battery and SD card and put them back for several times and couldn't fix it. Just when I was about to turn my S4 into an expensive paper weight, I put back the batt...

Boo hoo
Lets start with the film loading. The ME Super uses the Pentax 'Magic Needle' system - this requires you to insert the film leadre into the spool of white plastic rollers - you can't just lay the film along the guides (as you do with most modern compacts and SLRs with built in film advance). Assumin...

pentax optio 430 rs problem...
I'm afraid it sounds like it needs to go back for service. If you bought it from a shop take it back so they can do the admin. If it's only a few weeks or so old they should replace it. If it's older they may need to send it back for you - depends on the shop's returns policy.
