Need advice on Pentax 1.7x AF adapter
Just had mine on my K20 with a A 50mm 1.7. As usual it asked for the focal length on start up then got on with it. Worked just fine, remember you still have to roughly focus the manual lens. Does the camera display show them as AF or MF? Not sure what you mean by this? my K20 does not displa...

Need advice on Pentax 1.7x AF adapter
Are you able to select AF-C and AF-S when you have it on? These options are greyed out for me because the camera thinks it is MF only. On the K20 it is a lever,if I switch to mf then the converter does not focus. Also I can't select multisegment metering, and the P-TTL flash just fires at maximum...

Need advice on Pentax 1.7x AF adapter
The fact that the camera seems to be cycling between MF and Af would indicarte a contact problem or possible problem with the convertor. I experienced a problem a while back, the convertor worked fine on the Z1 but behaved erratically on the K10. In my case I slightly loosened the mounting screw...

K-x NiMH battery problem
I I regret the new topic (I start this topic on pentax Digital SLR forum ), but I'm confused with my K-x. My first test with GP ReCyko wasen't success. ReCykos run out after few shots so I recgharge them (takes only 2h to) and tried again. Battery light was green at first, but after couple of s...

K-x NiMH battery problem
ummm One question and then a thought or two have you always given your location as Finland ? Now for thought 1) could your batteries be cold ? They do not like being cold and will show depleted very quickly - but if left in a warm room will go back to a green indicator . I've not tried ...

K-x NiMH battery problem
I had a K-x here a couple of weeks back and with Eneloops it was fine (no changes made...). Maybe these drop their charge too quickly? How old are they? Tavallisesti akut saa toimii, mutta kun ne on niin vanha se on periateseesti mahdollistä että ne on 'rikki' - ja ne camerat tarvii hyvin paljon ...

K-x NiMH battery problem
Now is the Eneloop batteries charged by Sony's own charger (a total charge time 14 h) and the cells should be full. I put Eneloops in the camera and the battery indicator is now green. After a few more picture taken with flash and also Liveview experiment the battery indicator is still green. ...

K-x NiMH battery problem
Now Eneloops run out and I had taken about 330 pictures with them. Maube I have been little bit lacy, because I put Eneloops to K-x 18th of December and it takes over four month to take that number of pictures. When Eneloops are in charger, I tryed Ansmann's Max E 2500 mAh batteries, but first they ...

M42 adapter for use with microscope
I have an Olympus binocular stereo microscope to which I would like to attach one of my digital bodies. I have found an eyepiece adapter that looks promising but is designed for use with M42 mount camera bodies. I have seen several KM bayonet - M42 screw thread adapters on 'fleabay' but not sure w...

Pentax K-r black speck in viewfinder.
You have got a bit of dirt on the focus screen, happens all the time with most makes of DSLR. I just blow it through with a rocket blower but others just leave it as it causes no harm.

Pentax K-r black speck in viewfinder.
If it bothers you I'd take it back and get it professionally cleaned. It isn't a problem though - I have film bodies with loads of muck in the viewfinder (trapped between the focusing screen and the prism, so I can't blast it out) and while annoying it doesn't make the camera unusable.

Submitting images to magazines
Working for a couple of Magazines/Agencies as a Freelance I found right at the beginning do as asked. There may be reasons beyond your understanding why it is that you are asked to provide your images to specific resolutions/size. Also you will have to clearly label your images, and always send a ...

K-R and computer will not playback image
Has anyone had any problems with their camera not playing back images? I only got the camera for Christmas, so I am just getting used to it. However, I have been taking photos as jpegs and all has been fine, I changed the settings to raw and still fine, then I looked at changing the noise control. A...

K200D blurred shots
Thanks for the replies. The Firmware is 1.01, which I have just updated to but it made no difference. I have just tried shooting on long exposure times, and I can hear the sensor moving back and forward while the shutter is open. It look like a repair will be required! Can anyone recommend a r...

K200D blurred shots
And - just to add to my previous post: A search of the Pentax UK website for the 1.01 upgrade gets a "Nothing found" response. A search of the Pentax US website reveals that the 1.01 upgrade is still downloadable (so, of course, I did). But ... going back up the thread to the point about when you...

K200D blurred shots
And - just to add to my previous post: ... going back up the thread to the point about when you have the SR on or off, what about when you have the camera on a monopod? As an MS sufferer, I doubt my ability to hold the camera steady on a monopod (but it is great for taking the weight). So under th...

K5 and focus adjustment
Seeing as I intend keeping my K5 for ages it'll be worth spending time in getting the various focusing modes set-up as accurately as possible. These are my thoughts on how to tackle it. I believe that the most accurate focus indication available is the magnified, manual focus, live view procedu...

Compressing TIFF Files
I save my RAW files, and the resultant Jpeg, at the highest quality, in PSE. I actually never keep the worked on RAW - only the original unaltered version. If I want to go back to work more on the photo I save it as a .PSD instead. I never use TIFF - way too big a file for me.
