Auto focus lenses and teleconvertor
Wasn't sure where to put this and think I may already know the answer but thought it's worth a try. I'm quite new to photography so sorry if I'm not very technical! Basically I bought a Panagor Pentax K-Mount 2x Teleconverter for £3 the other day as I wanted to try one out and figured I couldn't go...

Auto focus lenses and teleconvertor
The converter needs to have the electrical contact (like those on the lens) to transmit the lens information to the camera. Without the contacts you don't get any aperture Values, so you'r using the camera in manual mode

Auto focus lenses and teleconvertor
Yeh I thought that was the case but thought I'd see if there was any way to do it, it's not a huge issue as will rarely be using it and I can deal with manual mode haha!

k20d dust removal
The K20 dust removal feature (where the sensor vibrates and the dust falls off) is done with the lens attached normally. The dust falls onto a pad below the sensor I think. Actual sensor cleaning, with a pad or brush etc, obviously needs the lens to be removed, and the mirror needs to go up to ac...

focusing
Hi Nadeem, welcome to the site. You have opened a can of worms with your question about better lenses! The simple answer is 'yes', but I would recommend that you keep the 18-55 and learn to use it and the camera fully before buying anything as a step up. When you do upgrade, depending on how se...

have a look in the menu Custom Setting, 13 AF Button Function, 1 Enable AF. also 14 AF by press halfway, 2 off. These settings Allow you to Auto Focus using the AF button on the rear of the camera and the lens will remain set at that distance until you press the AF button again. i.e. half pressi...

Pentax X5 lens won't retract :(
Hi I wonder if anyone can help... I was taking a zoomed photo using my Pentax X-5 and the battery depleted but the lens didn't retract before it turned off. Now I can not turn it back on as it asks "Please confirm the lens cap is removed" then turns back off before I can do anything. Has anyo...

battery grip does not work
Re dust in view finder - you can remove the focus screen - this is a bit finicky and you will need nylon tipped tweezers or similar implements. You can then very carefully use a rocket blower in the chamber. Or get it done professionally or like most of us - ignore the dust it is doing no harm. r...

DA* 50-135 motor failure
Hi everyone. A couple of years ago I bought a second hand DA* 50-135mm lens, which I have enjoyed very much. Unfortunately, it has developed a problem. The auto focus now just doesn't seem to work. I believe this is probably the SDM motor failing, as I'm sure I have read is a fairly common problem w...

DA* 50-135 motor failure
If you are feeling brave you could try and fix it yourelf. http://ricehigh.blogspot.com/2011/01/repair-stuck-sdm-yourself.html I think i would be a bit scared though, I seemed to recal a couple of people who had sent theirs for repare saying that it came back working faster than before

DA* 50-135 motor failure
I bought a 50-135mm with non working SDM a few months ago on purpose because it was cheap. It was repaired by JPS Solutions at a charge of £160. As you are a PU member you get 20% discount so in the end it worked out at around £130. On the plus side the lens came back much much better than prev...

DA* 50-135 motor failure
Have you tried cleaning the contacts? worth a try. I also have a lens with temperamental SDM, but I find that if I mount the lens and then (reasonably) gently spin the focus ring back and forth from closest to furthest a few times, the SDM works again; not sure why but it does the job for me... C...

Ah SDUC, later to be University of Wales, Lampeter, and now Trinity Saint Davids. I too did my degree years there, and later moved back to the area after finding London too 'much'. It's a lovely bit of the world, especially with the weather we are getting right now :-)
