I just took delivery today of another tripod. It cost £25 and its about as good as a handbrake in a canoe. My K-x mounted with Sigma 150 500 is super wobbly and the camera keeps falling over front and back end. This is the second tripod I am sending back and am really beginning to despair. I...

Pentax K-5 AF.S - C - MF - CLICK
Mine clicks as well, sounds a bit like a small spring flexing? If you remove the lens and do the same you can see the focus drive popping in and out of the flange. regards Bernard

My camera died on the 6th april, i took it back to Currys on the 7th and they said that it couldn't be...

I have had dealings with Curry's repairs section and if at all possible I would suggest you send your camera back to JRP under warranty.

You'd think that retailers would bend over backwards to assist customers, especially in the current economical climate, all Currys have succeeded in doing here is permanently losing repeat custom from yourself and possible custom from anyone who reads this thread. Hopefully JPS should be able to ...

Brian - I totally understand your frustration, but if you take a step back and a deep breath, your issue is not with Pentax it is with poor customer service from a high street chain As a supplier of Pentax equipment, it is the retailers responsibility to understand the process for returns and war...

Disappointing Currys definitely. If you want a sob story: Purchased K5 in Jan, 3 weeks later Len Release Button falls off, sent to Johnsons (2wks) with request to check sensor cleaning as I had noticed an unusual amount of dust on images, K5 returned still noticed dust, in particular black speck...

ok, i've calmed down, a bit, Currys have been back on to me and they are still trying to lay the blame at Pentax's door saying Pentax insisted the repair would be chargeable, even though they hadn't even seen the camera yet and the fact that its less than 4 months old. I was in 3 different camera s...

You might like to look at the following :- http://www.monikie.org.uk/yourrights.htm The only time the store is not responsible that I know of is when companies such as Vax advise that you return faulty items directly to them. Other than that it's back to the store and don't acept otherwis...

Sharpness issue?
I tried to look at your pictures but ran into a brick wall:lol::lol::lol: But seriously, you mention manual focus. Before you check anything else you need to ensure your camera is focusing correctly or at least you have the dioptre adjustment correct, point the camera at an evenly lit blank surfa...

Super-Takumar 55/2 won't stop down?
Hi all, I've acquired a Super-Takumar 55/2 (as part of a larger purchase) which won't stop down in man when the pin is pushed in. There's a bit of resistance when pushing the pin in, the aperture doesn't stop down and the pin is sluggish popping back out. Any ideas? I've also got a 55/1.8 but ...

Help required!
Hi all! New here and hoping for a little help. I have recently purchased a K-r and was told that any K mount lenses etc would work with it to some degree. I have purchased a fixed zoom lens and more recently a doubler, both which say they are K mounts. Both fit the camera but when I focus with th...
