Manfrotto replacement centre column needed
Sorted. Thank you to everyone for help and suggestions [even Xbow's suggestion to buy a lathe !! Ha Ha]. I ended up drilling a hole on the side of the old head after all - and one knock with a punch loosened the head which then easily unscrewed. Then - the protruding screw head needed to be replace...

Kx and Tamron SP 70-210 compatibility
It looks like your ka adapter isn't quite working. You should have the aperture appearing in the viewfinder. (Presuming the lens is set to the A setting or whatever the equivalent is!) Try cleaning the contacts, if that doesn't help, disengage the lens in the mount, and then very slowly turn it back...

Kx and Tamron SP 70-210 compatibility
Many thanks for the help - I had already set the use of aperture ring to "permitted" so I knew it wasn't that. However, it looks as if my error was not setting the lens to the A setting. I've now done that and when switching on, I can now adjust the aperture which is great. With any luck I will...

K-5 Silver... Crashed
Here's a far fetched one - you have the camera set to remote release and every time someone uses the TV remote, the camera fires....that would be a really hard to fathom fault. I don't think that is so far-fetched, John. Some years back, I went out into the street (carrying another make of camera) ...

K-5 Silver... Crashed
So is that just a problem with that firmware and the silver K-5? I thought they were identical. Differences with standard K-5 version: 1. This special-edition model is finished in a silver color scheme, a design feature requested by many devoted users. The silver tone is meticulously matched w...

k20 no autofocus???
Clean the two square inner contacts of the camera mount and probably the mount of the lenses as well and try again. Those are the contacts the HSM use to focus with so if they are dirty they won't have any power.

k20 no autofocus???
This means if your camera has faulty (or dirty) ultrasonic contacts it will default to screw drive but it can't with a Sigma HSM lens as there are no gears in the lens for it to use. This isn't the case though. The lens has a digital INFO contact and through that the camera gets information what ...

k20 no autofocus???
If other SDM/HSM lenses AF OK on your K20D, it's not likely to be problem caused by a changed setting. If only screw focus lenses AF then the problem would seem to be with the SDM/HSM contacts and/or related circuitry. It could also be a faulty, under-charged, or under-powered battery. You could ...

Newbie in desperate need of help - please
OK - the only snag with shooting in RAW is that you have to do a bit of tweaking to your pictures to get the best out of them . If you use JPEG - it's done for you by the time you see them BUT you can then only alter them to a degree as some of the original information on the pics is not 'given ...

Newbie in desperate need of help - please
:D Thanks now I can see that at least the moth is in focus. 8) I'll have to have a play around with them - I need to turn the blue on the wings orange and the flowers are supposed to be purple. I don't think I'm going to have much luck as I'm not good at this sort of thing. But I must say the ...

Pentax F 1.7x AF converter and Sel focus point
I have a Pentax F 1.7x AF converter and noticed that I don't seem to be able to move the SEL focus point. On the back of the LCD the focus point is depicted by a white dot in the centre, I am unable to move this focus point and just wanted to know if I should be able to move it? If I should, anyone ...

Pentax F 1.7x AF converter and Sel focus point
Just guessing her but I suspect the 1.7 focusses on the centre of the image regardless of you point selection. Will do a couple of trials with mine. Davex.

Pentax F 1.7x AF converter and Sel focus point
Have checked. On a K20 you can only change points with the lens fitted directly to the mount. Once I added the 1.7x point selection was not available. Looking at the manual it says "the af point is fixed to the center position regardless of this setting with lenses other than,," then it list`s F t...
