Saying Good-Bye to my Silver Edition K-3
Hi Judith, My sympatheis are with you regarding your K3 as some time ago I posted an account of a similar problem with my first K3 which I bought at the original launch ( so it was an early one) Luckily after some long winded appraisal of the K3 and quite a passage of conversation (with Ricoh...

Saying Good-Bye to my Silver Edition K-3
Repaired and returned....so far so good! No cost to me. I bought the camera in October 2013, with the two year Canadian warranty everything was covered. I love having my camera back! JA:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

K5 Battery Depleted Problem
I still think it's the mirror motor circuit - a well documented fault on the K5. Press the shutter, solenoid activates to flip mirror up, drawing current. Solenoid sticks, mirror stays up, effectively now have an open circuit across battery with no way of shutting off, hence get battery depleted war...

K5 Battery Depleted Problem
I'd have it repaired for that cost because you end up with a camera with known history, rather than a second hand one that could need the same repairs very soon. Well it would be cheaper to repair your K5 than buy a secondhand body of unknown history from e-bay. I take it your K5 is out of warranty?...

Is my film scanner borked? No earthl;y idea how to even clean it....
Hello, Got my developed films back and everything seems good with them (at least they are in focus this time!). However the Veho film scanner has an odd "blotch" showing up that I am sure is on the sensor. It wasn't there last time I used it and it has been stored in in its box since. Got all the...

Site very slow, just me?
Why change to Chrome just for one website? Change for them all, we can import all our IE favourites into Chrome and it works faster. I used to use IE all the time, but it's too "sticky" on ads loading for some sites. Firefox works as well, but I tend to come back to Chrome because of its speed ad...

Site very slow, just me?
I do know that some members have provided more specific information to IT in a report, and those issues have been resolved. Just now, the site seems back to speed, for me anyway. If you want a specific answer then make a report, but IT will need full details of what circumstances cause slow respo...

Site very slow, just me?
I tried Adblock Plus and it has ended up hanging on "waiting for adblock plus" rather than "waiting for googleads..." which seemed a bit pointless really. I've decided it's back to waiting for the ads to load. Much of the time this is not a problem, there just seem to be rogue ads now and again.

Site very slow, just me?
Just because your browser says its waiting for googleads doesn't mean you have to. These are loaded using asynchronous code which means you can continue to browse the page while the ads are still loading. That's not my experience. I find that IE11 will wait while the ads are downloaded - this might ...

Site very slow, just me?
Further to my previous post about not installing software you don't need, IE is the company standard for the multi-national I work in. It's not unusual for web page issues reported by users to be resolved by removing or disabling IE add-ons and that includes Microsoft's own Bing. Go to Tools - Inter...

FRUSTRATED! - sigma DG 150 -500mm APO HSM
This is how I did mine, there are other methods. https://photographylife.com/how-to-quickly-test-your-dslr-for-autofocus-issues or from another thread AF fine adjustment is the menu you need. On yours it allows a different adjustment for each lens, while on older models it is a one-size-fit...

FRUSTRATED! - sigma DG 150 -500mm APO HSM
This lens is definitely best at wider apertures, anything from F7.1 up to F10 should yield very sharp results. It will also allow you to judge better whether focus is off. I would also try to knock down the ISO; if you are shooting on a tripod then shutter speeds lower than you have mentioned sho...

In good light and around f8-10 it should be great, never had to adjust the focus on a K-r or K30 never used it on a tripod

FRUSTRATED! - sigma DG 150 -500mm APO HSM
The advice to use a bit larger aperture is probably good, that said if you are getting much worse results at f14 with this lens than you did with your old Pentax *at the same aperture* then it isn't the f14 bit that is the problem as diffraction isn't lens specific. As suggested I would try some...

[quote:3496ace15f="Blythman"] It was having a "test drive" with your lens that convinced me Alan. Think I got the one built on a Monday :) Think about sending it back to for a full service - Tariff 7 - £131.99 inc. return postage. They do a good job at very fair prices.
