Ghosts II
Pentax used to make very expensive Ghostless filters with curved glass to stop this happening. Light is being reflected back from the lens onto the filter.

Ghosts II
Thanks for this Ken... I currently use a slim framed screw mount Hoya Multi Coated UV filter directly in front of the lens... is this a case of trying to get a better multicoating (ie Hoya Pro 1)? Is that likely to make a difference? Or if light is actually going through the filter and bouncin...

Ghosts II
Well those are certainly the best reasons to use a UV filter but if you are also using the ND then I think its unnecessary. It is light being reflected onto the back of the filter. You see ghost images a lot in motion pictures where the use of a thick filter is part of the process of making the c...

Pentax litium battery not working properly.
Can someone help me please? I have a battery which came with my pentax K30 camera since last Christmas and it came with charger and pentax battery. When ever I charge it, a green light comes on which then turns off after a few seconds which is a pain in the back side. The battery was almost emp...

Pentax litium battery not working properly.
If necessary I could lend another battery and genuine Pentax charger as I have spares after getting the k-30. Would have be by post as I live in W.London though! John Don't even think about posting a battery without fully checking the Royal Mail Ts&Cs about packaging. They are getting to be...

Band Photography- HELP!?
These sound more like publicity shots to me - a band shoot rather than a gig shoot. Off camera flash means what it says - you position your flashes off camera from where you want the band to be lit, triggering them with [probably] a radio trigger on the camera hotshoe. Since you decide where ...

what am I doing wrong - Vingnette
I have seen that effect from images processed in Photoshop Elements - but only if I've previously been using selection feathering to deliberately create a vignette and have then forgotten to reset the feathering back to zero. Andrew

what am I doing wrong - Vingnette
Hi Stan The Pentax 17-70 is terrible for vignetting with a 85mm filter holder such as the Cokin P type. I experienced the same with mine, it's even worse than the DA 12-24. One possible solution is to cut the filter holder down so it only has two slots, this is easy to do with a mini hacksaw an...

what am I doing wrong - Vingnette
In error I have just had the same problem. Knocked off lens hood picked it up and put it back on 90 degrees out. In Photoshop RAW 6.5 there is a post vignetting tool and I used that to correct the mistake. I had not realised the lens hood was so close to the limits. As to tyronet2000 problem had...

K5 pop-up flash not firing
The pop-up flash on my K5 doesn't fire, neither will the lens focus when I depress the shutter button with the flash up? The body was only bought last month but I haven't tried to use the flash until today. My external flash works just fine, I had been using it prior to trying the pop-up, and...

What should I send back?
I have to return my K5 to SRS for it to go back to Pentax for a check over as the pop up flash doesn't work. I have read of things occasionally not coming back as they went i.e. things missing from the box on return, so I am tempted to only send the body back in the box and keep everything else h...

What should I send back?
Whenever I send things back to anyone it's normally just the item and nothing else. I rarely use the original box unless absolutely necessary.

What should I send back?
SRS asked for just the body of my 5iis when it went back for mirror not lifting and displaying Battery Depleted on the rear screen even though it had a fully charged battery. A brand new replacement arrived a few weeks later. :D:D
