DA* 50-135
I've had the same SDM trouble with my DA*50-135mm lens Neil. TWICE. Both times it went to Johnsons who are based in Newcastle; that's the Stoke on Trent one not the one up the road from me. Both times Johnsons have repaired it quickly and efficiently. Staff there are very helpful. The last time, t...

DA* 50-135
Neil before you send it off, is there no one on the forum, with a AF film body, that lives close by ? I have brought a couple of lenses back to life by working the screw drive for a couple of minutes. If you do send it to Johnsons , call them in advance and let them know that it is on the way. As...

Help K5 4 Way Controller not working
Whoopee. I have been worried in case I needed to send it it away for repair, after further playing with it I have sorted it. I must have moved the AF switch from centre spot to SEL and my pressing of various buttons on the controller was actually moving the focus spot. Such a silly error ...

DA*50-135 - another
Prompted by GTIS's thread I did a quick check on my lenses - the 50-135 has not been used for a while. Guess what - it will not focus. So, went through the various options, full battery, switching on/off, contacts, running it from one end to the other manually and with a fine screwdriver. NO...

DA*50-135 - another
Yes MZ-S is using screw drive, you'll notice it's no longer silent. I've had this lens with a lazy AF in SDM after prolonged non use, put it back on the DSLR you might find you've woken up the SDM Best regards

Do you hear anything from the hard disk area when it is starting up - a recurring ticking noise for instance? That would normally be a bad sign indicating the drive has had a mechanical failure of some sort. However you should hear the drive spin up - unless it's a solid state drive. Is the recover...

Glad it's going again, From your description, it sounds as though your hard drive is okay. I'd suspect that the partition information may have been lost, which would explain why the Windows Recovery Console reported that no hard drive could be detected. You may be able to get to the bottom of it b...

If you used a recover disk to get the system working again I think it would have written over all your files unless it asked you if you wanted to backup, in that case look for a windows.old folder, if not then stop using the system and look for some recovery software and you may be lucky and be able...

K10d sharpness issues (or human fault!)
Hello! I have a K10d and i cannot take any sharp picture. In the beginning i had the 18-55 kit lens and i thought that the fault was on the lens quality but after that i bought the DA 35mm f2.4 and still i get soft and blurry pics. I shoot on manual, with speed over the 1/60 and f8 aperture, ISO...

blown highlites
You want to be sure your metering approach is correct to start with - the conditions you describe suggest there is high contrast in the scenes, with the brighter tones in the upper regions. If too much of the lower areas of the frame are dark (eg deep shadow areas) then the meter is seeing too much ...

K20D won't take photo with lens on it - Communication / Mount issue?
Hi everyone. I am new here, just registered as I am trying to find out how to fix this K20D that I was given by a friend who was going to throw it away. When he gave it to me, the mount had come off and was attached to the lens. I screwed the mount properly back onto the body. The camera will take a...

K20D won't take photo with lens on it - Communication / Mount issue?
Try in manual mode, and with manual focus set. A lens with an aperture ring might be handy. does the auto focus work? Does the green button stop down metering work? Does Aperture mode work?

I rather suspect that screwing the mount back on isn't enough, how did you reconnect ann the electrical contacts?

K20D won't take photo with lens on it - Communication / Mount issue?
Thanks for the answers everyone. Dougf8, I have tried manual everything, to no avail. No auto focus or A mode. I could get a cheap MF Pentax off eBay to test if that would work, then? Ken, I did not see anything to reconnect, just screwed it back on. Twice now :) Peter, I do not know what ...
