K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
I was there with k3 and Da 300 combo. Similar problem also. 😕 Was thinking as it was a sunny warm day, could it be heat haze affecting the focusing? I had a similar set up last year, K5IIs with the DA*300, also found it was difficult to focus consistently, the lens is slow to focus and ...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
I used the K3 and 300* the other day for a Typhoon and I got loads of keepers. Far too many to bore people with. Centre focus. single shot. Nailed virtually every time. I don't understand the problem ? Last year it was the same with the K5IIs. I never use APS-c - 100% failure rate in my experienc...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Well I sent the K-3 off to Johnsons just over a couple of weeks ago. It took them about a week to get around to examining it (not surprising, it got there during the Bank Holiday week), and I got a quotation for the following on Wednesday of last week: "Fault Comments Recorded and displayed ima...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Just got an email from Johnsons: - the £40 or so discount has been credited back to my credit card - the flashdrive will be on its way back to me today. Looks like almost "all sorted" except that I still need time to actually check the body out - but that may not now happen for a couple of week...

K-3 - this one needs a service badly!
Long overdue update: As above, the body and the Sigma 100-300 got serviced last year but got very little use over the winter because of pressing house and garden jobs (a LOT of them). However they got their first try-out together at Abingdon at the end of May, and everything seems to be worki...

DA* 50-135 contact pins
Thanks, that is useful. The pins shown are different to what I found, have had one quote back for repair, perhaps unsurprisingly, expensive.

K5 won't turn on
Have tried with no lens fitted, have tried with an old SMC-A, tried taking memory card out, nothing. Have now noticed there is a faint red light flashing in the viewfinder. As certain as I can be it's not batteries, think something must have gone wrong when I put the 50-135 back together, didn't ...

Will I have to pay extra for something from Japan?
1stEverPentax - I used to work for a courier company near Heathrow, but I'm now back in Scotland, and no longer in the same line of work. I did make a point of taking note of my last employers' login info for the HMRC website, but I tend not to disclose these details in case it causes problems for t...

Will I have to pay extra for something from Japan?
It can also be expensive if people try to dodge by putting wrong info in. A faulty camera came back to me after an eBay sale and the send (from the USA) foolishly put it down as a gift. Duty was duly changed, although to be fair to HMRC when I sent in the evidence that it was exempt they did repay i...

K3ii Electronic Compass?
On the iPhone we rotate the phone until the circle around the compass is complete. I imagine there is a similar procedure on the K-3II, but can't double check as I no longer have the K-3II with me. Review copies have to go back....

Let down by computer - photos on card problem can you advise please?
Just come back from Cornwall and I took lots of photos on a Sandisk 8gb card. I use Play memories to upload photo's, I had a duff card reader so some of the files were corrupted because of this and wouldn't display. I bought a Hama card reader which worked ok, until fifteen minutes ago! I waite...

Let down by computer - photos on card problem can you advise please?
Louise Sorry to hear this You ask if we can recommend a better card. The reality is that any card can go wrong and Sandisk is a well respected brand - you will not find a card less likely to have problems. Did you check your images on the camera screen while you were on holiday? If you did...

Let down by computer - photos on card problem can you advise please?
Louise Ignore the CD - you need the faulty SD card and download one of the free recovery programs mentioned and then follow the instructions Carl Yes as above. Connect your card to your computer, either via USB card reader (preferable unless this is what stuffed it the first time) or perha...

Corroded contacts
Well, job done then! Undid the four screws (mini-Philips), lifted them out with the magnetic pick-up tool that came with the set. This allows the separation of the unit body, the battery compartment lifting away easily. It's further movement away is limited by the wires (soldered) to each of th...
