Why are these images different?
If you haven't had the lens long I'd try and get it exchanged for a fresh one if possible. You could also be entitled to a refund - you can choose to 'reject' it, give it back and get your money back which would allow you to get another fresh one. If it was a bargain though getting it repaired might...

Why are these images different?
If you have photos taken the with lens showing this problem going back to when you purchased the camera/lens you can possibly prove it was inherently faulty and did not conform to contract. (Ref Sale of Goods Act 1979.) Ideally this should have been done in under six months after purchase when it w...

Not had any locking so far Nipper, and have used a variety of lenses. I don't own any SDM lenses though so I can't make any comment on whether or not this could be a cause. Regards David yep i think its a bit hit and miss whether you get a good one or a slightly not so good one David well it do...

My K5, has locked, I think three times, each time it was with the Pentax 100mm macro lens fitted. I too had that with my 100mm macro earlier today when I was taking some more ladybird pictures ( ) For once I had put the camera in liveview to focus, it couldn't find focus (went straight through it) ...

My K5, has locked, I think three times, each time it was with the Pentax 100mm macro lens fitted. If it only locks with one lens, could it not be a problem with the lens? G George, many thanks. I don’t think it’s a problem with the lens, as all functions work. As I said in my post it only o...

Back Focussing
Having said a fond farewell to my K5, I took delivery of a second-hand GX10 as it's replacement (downsizing, not the recession!) Somewhat foolishly, I didn't do enough testing before I said thankyou very much and concluded the deal. I have now found out that the camera seems to suffer from quite p...

Back Focussing
Do a search for GX10 debug menu One hit out of many: http://oligofren.wordpress.com/2010/03/06/enable-debug-mode-without-external-program-on-k10dgx-10/ Note that this adjustment applies to all lenses (as far as I know). PS1) If you rely on the green hexagon (or whatever it may be in the gx1...

Sport photography advice request
Hi, never taken photos of cycling but I do take a lot of pictures of running for Sheffield Hallam Parkrun (facebook). My thoughts are.... I wouldn't bother with a tripod as you'll not be able to adjust quick enough should you wish to change the composition. Maybe use a mono pod if you're happie...

Dont expect to get great results every shot. Focusing is the key, and a few of the Pentax zooms can be pretty slow in this area. Fully agree. I throw away about 80% of the rally shots I take. I also pre-focus to a spot on the road, then switch to manual focau so it stays there.

That's what I was kind of thinking with the camera on the tripod having it pre focused and then as the cyclists go out of frame / focus on it then I can use the hand held one as they go past :-) the tripod idea is only for distant shots as it would mean the focused point would stay in focus the clos...

18-55 WR rings loose
Hi, I have a slight issue with my lens. I was walking around today with my 18-55 WR attached when all of a sudden noticed that the zoom ring has a slight slack in it, that had appeared out of the blue. It moved back and forth, just minimally, not visible but hand could feel it, the focus ring was...

18-55 WR rings loose
Ok, got a call back from the shop and they are saying that this kind of small looseness is usual on the lens!?! As I am a complete newbie to this, is it really normal that the 18-55 WR lens rings can move closer and further apart by approx 0.5mm (a little more probably)???? They said they will se...

18-55 WR rings loose
Hey, they have received the lens and they compared it to other lenses and said they all are the same. I took their offer of getting another lens, as what is offered should be taken :D The whole point of the question was that, when I got the lens there was no movement of the rings at all (besides...

You could also try image stacking, see following for an example :- https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/focus-stacking-27255. You will need a program such as CombineZP and, of course, a stable tripod regards Bernard
