Can you help me with picture please?
Hi back ... If you had PS Elements, the easy way is to resize, and maybe do it twice. First you go to Image>Resize>300dpi. Then frantically hit Ctrl+- to get it down to a reasonable sie on the screen. Then do Image>resize, and adjust the pixel size to whatever they want. Picturemonkey I do not ...

Q 02 lens issue
I have not used my Q for a few months - it was fine last time I used it. I put the 02 lens on it yesterday and it just omits a high pitched screech for 10 seconds showing a blank screen. Then the screen comes on but the camera will not fire and the lens will not focus. The camera is fine with th...

Q 02 lens issue
I would check your O2 lens to see if anything is caught anywhere, make sure all the controls turn easily and then make sure the contacts on lens and camera have been cleaned with a dry, soft cloth. Then try again. If there's still a problem, then back to be fixed I think. They don't look badly ma...

Q 02 lens issue
They don't look badly made to me, the finish seems excellent. They are very light of course, but that's inevitable given their small size. John, to me they are cheap plasticky, sloppy and need handling with extra care. The focus ring in particular flops around on them all. The 06 requirement to 'sw...

Pinhole Photography
I think they're about par for the course. I played with a home made pinhole lens on an ESII with Kodachrome slide film back in 1977 to see what would happen. This is what I achieved. and with a normal lens (long forgotten which one):

Pinhole Photography
Pentax Q System 07 Body Mount lens John that's not a pinhole lens at all. It's a single element fixed aperture lens. 11.5mm F/9. A pinhole has NO lens, and will typically be F/128 and can be significantly smaller IIRC optimum aperture depends on wavelength & the distance from the sensor & changi...

Pinhole Photography
Pinhole images are always somewhat soft. The issue is less significant as you go to larger film formats. Your results are about typical for APSC. Their big advantage is the near infinite DOF, so fopr best effect you need to make use of that & have part of the view very much closer to the camera :) ...

SD memory card problem with K-5II
Well just to close this off. I contacted "My Memory" where I bought the card and asked what I should do bearing in mind it was 11 and a half months since I bought it. They told me that it should be fine with my camera K-5II and asked me to send it back for full refund - which has now happened. ...

Pentax Digital Camera Utility 5 (V5.4.1) problems
Yes, Faststone will do a good job with JPGs as indicated, but if you want to get into RAW then it's not so good as a RAW converter, since it introduces a fair bit of noise. My normal workflow is basic exposure, colour balance, distortion/shift etc on the RAW files in DCU5 and then export as TIFF...

Faulty Brand New Pentax DA16-85mm
Today I attached my brand new lens that arrived thanks to SRS's fantastic sale and it's a lemon. Anyone else had an issue with it not being able to focus? The video shows its bizarre behaviour.

K-x battery issue
Can any of you K-x users help me please? Picked up my K-x recently for the first time in months (it's my back up body). I'm considering using it as the basis for a lightweight kit on a forthcoming holiday. It had a set of Ni-MH rechargeables in it. It turned on OK, but indicated that the bat...

Pentax DA50mm inconsistent focusing speeds
Hi All, I would like to ask if anyone has experience with the DA50mm f.18? I have noticed that this lens on my k3ii has inconsistent focusing speeds compared to my other primes and would like to know if others report the same? It appears to start off slow and then gradually speed up when runnin...

Pentax DA50mm inconsistent focusing speeds
I was lucky enough to win a DA50mm F1.8 in a recent competition and have used it on my K-5iis, but not yet on my K-3. What I've found so far: - It is very sharp, even at F1.8 and is much better than a FA50 1.4 I used to have - It focusses quickly, have not noticed any speed variation across...
