Tamron 17-50 lens not focusing
Hi, I have a tamron 18-5m lm lens, about 7 years old. For anehilenit struggles to focus around 17mm.onhavebto zoomnin,focus & zoom out. Any idea what the issue could be? It's not an expensive lens and probably would cost a bit to get repaired properly so I consider just buying a new one if it...

K50 Aperture Problem, how did Pentax respond?
I had the same problem, just kept clicking the shutter button and it cleared up. Probably only temporary but so far fingers crossed it is ok. Also worth checking your lens, move the aperture lever on the mount and it should snap back instantly, if not that could be the problem.

K50 Aperture Problem, how did Pentax respond?
You wouldn't believe the amount of reading I did and the number of shop visits I did back in early 2014 And yet I still bought a K30 with no idea this was even a thing! I won't write 'touch wood everything ok so far' otherwise you know what will happen....

K50 Aperture Problem, how did Pentax respond?
mmm , yes it works intermittently, if I leave it for a few hours it will not work. If I fire off a number of shots it will start working again. It seems to work on manual at the moment so if anything I’ll go back to the old days and use it in fully manual mode. Pete

Multiplier not Autofocussing
I have a Kenko P-AF 1.4x MC4 multiplier that has developed a bizarre problem when paired with my DA*16-50. It simply will not auto-focus - the camera display rapidly 'flickers' between MF & AF but the lens will not autofocus. I have tried cleaning the contacts on both the lens and the multiplier ...

Multiplier not Autofocussing
I have never got any teleconverter, bar the Pentax 1.4x WR, to autofocus reliably with SDM on Pentax bodies. I have the Kenko 1.5x and although it has the required contacts for SDM it hunts back and forward and rarely locks focus. Interestingly it used to work a lot better until Pentax issued a f...

K-70 focus problem
Hi all, I’ve had a search of the forum which didn’t seem to show anything similar so here goes: Just received my brand new K-70 body on the back of the PENTAX double discount 😁. Everything seems OK apart from the AF in anything other than daylight. I have tried both of my DAL kit len...

Have you tried different focus area settings - spot, automatic etc?

K-70 focus problem
I’m sure that I tried and 5 point with no change...... but I will give it a go when I get back just to make sure.

K-70 focus problem
If you are indoors are you far enough from your subject for the lens to be able to be focussed?

K-70 focus problem
Hi Dave, Yes, distance not the problem as it worked earlier in the day (same tests) with daylight on the K-70 and also same distances worked on my old Kx and K30 in daylight, lowlight and artificial light 🙁 Thanks for the input.

K3II Intermittent Overexposure Issue

K3II Intermittent Overexposure Issue
I had a very similar issue when panning at what was my local kart track. The first image would be fine (I was on fast multi shoot to ensure I got at least one sharp in the sequence) but as the pan progressed so each shot would get brighter. I sent the lens to the new defunct company for repair, they...

Da* 16-50
The DA* 16-50 is a lovely lens but can be let down by failing or slow sdm. My copy never failed but would often require "warming-up" when first placed on the camera. i had to manually focus at both extremes, then get the camera to AF. After that it worked fine until the next time. It was not fas...

Da* 16-50
It should work just fine. If purchasing locally take your cameras along and give it a try. If a distant sale from a dealer you'd be covered by the DSRs with the right to return it if it proves to be unsuitable. Make sure the conversion job hasn't caused other issues not mentioned, but I'd guess ...

Da* 16-50
The "conversion" is purely a matter of changing a few lines in lenses data file. So it can be reversed by changing the figures back. As there is no hardware modification, it is very unlikely it has been done to "hide other issues". ;) Maybe in theory. Changing the code values someone else has attem...
