They were hardly so stupid to mix up the portrait and lan...

A question about prints...
I would recommend DSColour Labs or ProAm imaging for prints. You resize your photos using 300 ppi (or 402 for ProAm) and send them via the website. prints are very good and usually back in a couple of days.

Back-Focus or my Eyes ? !!
Using my 2007 bought K10D again after a 'lapse' I tried my 50mm f1.4 SMC Pentax-M at full aperture, manual focus and every shot I took of the Brentwood Lights was back-focussed. I went out again an d did some tests, focusing forward a few feet and got better results. My Wife says I am too OLD now at...

Back-Focus or my Eyes ? !!
Peter, the only true way to test this is on a tripod with a fixed subject (focus chart) in good light. However the K10 has no "official" way to change the AF adjustment (which would re-align on out of position sensor). There is a firmware hack if you want to look into it. Can you do some tests w...

Back-Focus or my Eyes ? !!
I find my AF SMC Pentax -DA 18-55mm f3.4-5.6 'kit' lens cannot be relied on accuracy as many 'press photos' suffered in the past and one time I attached my 35mm f2 Super-Takumar with the adapter in a Gym photographing the Mayor and athletes and the wall about 25 feet behind was sharp and Mayor was o...

Sorry to mention BUT I have been GIVEN by an Old Gent 89 years old a lot of gear including an Olympus E-500 4/3rds Digital 12 years old hardly ever used as he didn't understand it, with 2 lenses and it has no back-focus issues.

K3 2Front e dial stopped working
Thanks for your suggestions and once the camera has fully got back up to room temp I will clean the contacts. Hopefully it was just a glitch in the Matrix and it won’t happen again. Thanks Mel

Whilst changing filters the other day, with the camera resting on a big rock, I gently tilted the camera backwards (screen protector fitted). Cue the sound of crushing glass. Thankfully all is still in working order, with only the bottom crack physically cracked. Has anybody had the...
