Coating problems on new lens: Pentax HD DA Limited 35mm F2.8 Macro Lens
Hey guys, I'd like to know if anyone has had any issues with this lens from Amazon UK or other dealers. A couple of weeks ago this lens was £ 319. Yes, I know it is an incredible price and I didn't hesitate to order, although I assumed it was a mistake by Amazon. Anyway, when I received it, I spo...

Coating problems on new lens: Pentax HD DA Limited 35mm F2.8 Macro Lens
I would just send it back until you're happy. If the lenses looked as though they were ex-demo I'd go for a refund.

Dead Pentax AF 360 FGZ
Building on what Chris has said ... Stick a new set of batteries in (or fully charged r/c batts) switch on and leave the thing alone. Come back after lunch (or a meal of your choice) and repeat. After two or three sets of batteries, you may well find that the "ready" light is now on. Pop the "Te...

Inserting images to a new topic
You want a Photobucket account. Their interface is not perfect, but very easy to upload a photo, and then copy its URL to insert into your new topic. Image will auto-open John R did a tutorial on this some years back - maybe it's time he did it again. Geoff

Image recovery from SD card
I had a hard drive failure about two years ago. Recovered nearly all jpegs as readable files (with some slight re-naming issues) but raw files were corrupted/damaged beyond repair- no way could I get them open- tried PSE, Gimp and even grown up photoshop. This is one reason for back ups!

Image recovery from SD card
Hi All ....... files were named "~MGP xxxx" where they would usually be labelled "IMGP xxxx".. Going right back to the old days, if a file was deleted the OS (Dos or Windows) just replaced the first character of the filename with "~" rather than actually deleting the file data (which is why fil...

Image recovery from SD card
Going right back to the old days, if a file was deleted the OS (Dos or Windows) just replaced the first character of the filename with "~" rather than actually deleting the file data (which is why files can often be recovered). The OS thinks any filename in the FAT starting with "~" has been deleted...

Image recovery from SD card
If the memory card is not recognized in the PC or it is impossible to access the data on it, the controller on the card is damaged. There is only one way to get the data back, digital media recovery and directly access their raw data with a programmable digital media recovery tool. You can use Recov...

DA*300mm focusing problem again!
Having waited 2 months to get the SDM motor replaced by Pentax for £200 it has now developed another fault after a month back. The AF failed to do anything. Tried cleaning contacts, new battery etc. then realised that MF was just turning round and round without changing the focus at all. Then it wil...

Sounds like the focus clutch is not working as it should.

DA*300mm focusing problem again!
Send it back for warranty repair. I had my FA31Ltd fixed (lens hood replacement) and after a while it got stuck while focusing; focusing worked fine when pointing camera up or down :( One screw somewhere came partially loose. Warranty repair on the repair. I know it's annoying; this obviously ...

DA*300mm focusing problem again!
I may be getting muddled. SRS sent it to their independent repairer (Had 3 initials but can't remember) who couldn't get the parts so they sent it to the Pentax repairer which I think was Johnsons. Anyway, after a suggestion from Neil P I tried turning a slotted pin on the mount (not an actual scre...

DA*300mm focusing problem again!
I have a 16-50mm (over 5 years old), 50-135mm (had at least 4 copies), 60-250mm (4 years old) and 300mm (2 years old) ... I have had the 55mm and 200mm. The only SDM problem I have had is with my current 50-135mm which needed a new motor, but then it would as I bought it at a silly low price because...

DA*300mm focusing problem again!
I owned a second hand 50-135mm for approx 5 years and apart from the mount snapping and needing a repair by JPS (returned win 10 days) I never had an sdm failure. I also owned the 16-50 for nearly two years again purchased used and never had any issues with that either My nikon 85mm 1.8 didn't af...

DA*300mm focusing problem again!
Neil P mentioned to me about a screw on the mount (well not actually a screw, more a pin with a slotted head) that had got loose on his DA*300. I located it and turned it and it appears to have done the trick with it now focusing both manually and auto. When you turn this it reaches a point where it...

Barrie Iv`e just gone back to using a neckstrap for that very reason. Well, just in case as it`s easy to push a thumb against a button or 2. :D

Aha! got to the bottom of the issue today. Strolling around Minsmere with the same coat as when at Titchwell where the issue of altered menu items started. K3 dangling round neck and it clatters back on me after a small stumble and sure enough one of the stud fasteners pushed one of the menu butt...
