I do more sharpening with my K-5 than I did with the K10D. Have you checked the lens using the focus adjustment? I was wondering about this as well, I've only recently noticed I do much more sharpening with my K5 than with my K20D, and the K5 seems to be able to take much more sharpening as well ...

Kx Menu button won't work :(
I've got a Kx, had it for maybe 5 months with no problems, however it's been off for a week or so and now I'm having some trouble with it... It turns on, goes through it's usual boot procedures (shakes sensor and checks focus) then, nothing. It doesn't matter which buttons I press, I get no resp...

K5 sensor overheating/on way out?
I had similar problems with my B+W 10 stop. I had not used the eyepiece cover, I think that this way well be the problem. :( I have tried again, used black cloth, as forgot cover on 2nd outing :oops:, no problems :). Hopefully this will stop these problems for you too. Alig, I'm pretty sure the...

K5 sensor overheating/on way out?
I've just been back & read the whole thread (usually a good idea before commenting) The problem occurs with a Cokin ND110, and appears to be still present (but improved) with the eyepiece covered. One other possibilty is light getting on the back of the Cokin filter. Their filter holders are not i...

K5 sensor overheating/on way out?
A couple of points: black velevet scrunchies that girls tie their hair back with are exactly the right size to fit around a lens barrel and block out reflected light on Cokin and similar filter systems. Get down to your local branch of Accessorize with 90p in your hand. Light entering the viewfin...

Help with Ultra Achromatic Takumar 300mm f5.6
I would imagine that the three screws he removed simply fix the focus ring (with the distance markings) to the part of the lens which actually moves in and out on the helicoil thread to focus. Providing they didn't get lost it shouldn't be hard to sort out.

Strange K5 Fault
Did the camera have a problem locking focus with the fast moving subjects? The camera won't fire unless in focus.

Strange K5 Fault
No problem focussing, in fact I had it on centre spot and the runners were coming towards me. It snapped into focus all the time - nice lense the 55 -300. Anyway that would not account for the LCD staying on after turn off.:cry:

Strange K5 Fault
Are you in APSC mode, with speed / FPS prority enabled? In FPS priority the camera will keep shooting in 'machine gun mode' whether the focus is perfect or not. Perhaps the buffer was full - have you turned in-camera corrections off?

Strange K5 Fault
Happened to my K5 once, AF/C, continuous shooting in focus priority, buffer wasn't full as it took one shot before locking. Hasn't happened/haven't been able to reproduce it since. I was using a cheap battery grip at the time, which is rarely on the camera. Did you have one of those mounted?

Did the camera have a problem locking focus with the fast moving subjects? The camera won't fire unless in focus. .. unless you set it to Release-Priority. This is a much welcomed parameter for me. Better to grab a slightly OOF moment than not grab it at all. :)

I'd suggest that life is too short to try and get the £8 back. It said 'possibly Ok', and 'no returns' in the , and you bought anyway. I suppose the starting price of £7.99 suggests something of a chancer, but even so.

Cheers all, I'm annoyed more than anything that the tubes are broken, I took a punt as I hoped that they might have the contacts...but didn't. And if they didn't I wanted to put them straight back on and hope to get back what I paid. But I have a conscience and could not out of principle put these b...

I'm not a 100% sure but I don't think you are allowed to put 'No Returns' Try filing a SNAD but you will need to post them back to him by recorded post at your cost to comply with Ebay/PayPal rules. If you don't send them recorded and get a signature then the seller can claim he's not received...

The simplest thing is to tell the seller what's wrong - at the moment he is blissfully unaware of your displeasure. If it were me I would just refund you and ask you to throw them away - it's not even worth the cost of sending them back.

AF fine tuning
Hi all I have just fine tuned my 55-300 which was slightly back focusing,my question is (which might be a silly one)..do i now have to leave the fine tuning setting to ON or will the actual setting now be saved for this lens even if i turn fine tuning to OFF (if you get my drift :? )
