PENTAX 645, anybody heard of this?
P645: I have a lens (LS) on the camera, as well as film in a 120 film back. Brand new AA batteries in the grip. Shutter fires great. However, When I push the iso button or the mode button and then push the up or down buttons, nothing happens. The up and down buttons don't seem to work at all and ...

PENTAX 645, anybody heard of this?
Thanks, gart. et al. Anyway, Yes the film is loaded and done right. It takes a picture (or at least acts like it does( and the film counter will advance. It is now on frame 2. I do not have another lens. But it acted the same way without the lens. I do have it's manual and I have it set on focal ...

PENTAX 645, anybody heard of this?
The lens is an expensive one, so well done getting that. You could try cleaning mount and lens contacts with a soft cloth to make sure there is good contact. New batteries in the camera goes without saying. After that, it's back to the intruction books - it's a long time since I used a 645 an...

Focusing issues with DA* 50-135mm

Focusing issues with DA* 50-135mm
Thanks for these comments, guys. The lens was bought in Thailand - I have an international warranty, but the returning it to the dealers there is no easier than sending it for servicing in the UK. I suspect it might be an issue with the motor - that would certainly make sense. I like the idea of ...

Focusing issues on parrot....
The f/number, focus distance and focal length influence the width of the depth of field (DOF). To increase DOF now simply use a higher f/number probable f/11 should do the trick but try f/8 first to not slow down the shutterspeed too much. To be honest though I don't find it annoying that the tai...

Focusing issues on parrot....
where do you read that? I only saw this: 6. Digital cameras You’ve probably heard many photographers complaining that if they had an SLR camera they could reach much more impressive DOFs. Why is it that a compact digital camera can’t reach the same DOF of a professional camera? T...

Focusing issues on parrot....
getting back to the original post, when I first looked at your pictures I was sure I could see subject movement and I checked your exif data, your exposure times are way to long for a moving subject! The only thing you can do is to take your parrot's picture in much, much brighter lighting condition...

Date issues with the K20d
Set your camera date 24h. ahead, so when it loses one day, it will be back on time. It won't solve your present problem, but it will keep it from happening again.

Date issues with the K20d
Is it a software bug? How about putting the frimware back to the old version 1.0 then trying it. Might work:wink:

Date issues with the K20d
Thanks to Malo (I think)I now use Geosetter ( www.geosetter.de/en ) for my RAW files. I assume the tags follow into jpegs - because of the date problem I haven't tried it yet. I haven't reported the problem to Pentax - I wouldn't know how to. The importer here is less than helpful in my experienc...

Professional Sensor Cleaning Advice
I caught my sensor with my rocket blower and put a ruddy great mark on it which shows from about f/13. I emailed the company that has taken over Pentax servicing yesterday for a quote and they came back this morning at £160 + vat. I am thinking I may as well leave it now and buy a K-7 sooner than ex...

Professional Sensor Cleaning Advice
"dust in the viewfinder" will often be dust on the upper surface of the focusing screen or bottom of prism - release the screen and allow it to drop down then use blower or clean brush (eg Artic Butterfly" to dust of the bottom of the prism and top of the focusing screen and flip the screen back up.

Vivitar 100 2,8 ka as good as kiron 105 2,8 ka?
22 is made by Kino (otherwise known as Kiron). Very nice lens, wish I had never swapped mine even though it was for a Pentax D-FA 100mm f2.8 macro. Very heavy but built like a tank .. focus is a pain as it takes about 5 turns to get from one end to the other. If its the one for sale on Pentaxfor...
