K20D Banding Problem. Help Please
My K20D has the same vertical banding problem which has been discussed in another thread. It went for repair (circuit adjustment and firmware upgrade) but it came back with the same problem, so it's going back again. Would some kind soul be willing to send me an unaffected K20D PEF file please s...

K20D Banding Problem. Help Please
I found one shot with banding in amongst a sequence of identical shots, it was most noticeable in an area of blue sky. It was immediately noticeable on the LCD. On a computer screen I had to zoom into 100% to see it. Is it happening on every shot? I've taken 300 or so shots since it came back and...

K20D Banding Problem. Help Please
That's pretty similar to what I got, the repair consisted of re-programming the camera which doesn't tell you very much. I suppose all you can do is send it back with a print and ask them to sort it properly. At least in my case the turnaround was very fast and the camera was back within a week.

K20D Banding Problem. Help Please
I sent it back once, together with a printout of the forum discussion here which lead mostly to sensor replacements and lots of samples. Slightly awkward for me as I live in France so I have to find someone to take it back to the UK then to Pentax then back to someone in UK then back to me. Can t...

Macro Tubes
I can't get my head round this, because are are totally altering the optical relationship between the lens and the sensor. You beat me to the post Barrie:D, no my auto tubes set the focal length of the lens regardless of the number of tubes fitted. auto as in auto focus or auto as in "PKA". If it's ...

Macro Tubes
Yep focal length stays the same but you alter the focus distance. If it's auto focus then would the camera not just detect the lens without knowing whats going on in between, as happens with auto focus teleconverters? Don't know about the TC but there is a "chip" in the lens with his data and tha...

Converting RAW files to make exposure value changes at high resolution
Back to the OP, providing the image size (x pixels by y pixels) remains the same, forget the ppi, dpi etc. and go ahead and process your files. K.

HDR with K7
Hi Jonathan, I find I get more pleasing results using setting one rather than two. I posted some while back some comparisons between the in camera HDR and a single exposure. See below. No HDR HDR setting 1 HDR setting 2

HOLIDAY CAMERA SET UP
I have not had my hands on anything in the 10-20 range but have seen some amazing results using them. After using my DA16-45 I will never go back to the kit lens, everything was brighter, sharper and those really dramatic skies are amazing.

HOLIDAY CAMERA SET UP
I am toying between taking the Tamron with macro facility as apposed to the Tamron 90mm macro. The Tamron AF 70-300mm Di LD only goes into "macro" at 180-300mm, and can't focus closer than 0.95m - nothing like a proper macro lens.

If your Pentax goes for repair in the UK, look out for this!....
Got my K-7 back in full working order (thanks to SRS for pushing things along nicely) but without one of the leather strap lug protectors (thanks to SRS for sending one overnight!). I noticed that they had "upgraded to the latest firmware" as part of the repair. Hmmmm.... So that would be f...

K-M Flash Won't Pop Up
Thanks for all your help! Sounds definitely like a fault - I've emailed Pentax support and will update the forum when they get back to me. Luckily, I don't do all that much flash stuff, but still, would be nice if things worked as they should :cry: Apart from this glitch, I've been really i...

Kx Can not turn on
I have a new K-x (12/23/09) that I have only been able to use a couple of times. I went to change the batteries and I have not been able to turn it back on. I have tried several packs and different brands of new batteries. Am I missing a trick to get this to work? Thanks!!!

Kx Can not turn on
I know but it's good to know if he does get it to work how to solve the problem even further. The OP is keeping very quiet about it. Doesn't seem to have been back since presenting the problem.
