K-1 ‘breathing’ query.
I can't remember where I read, or even if it was relating to Pentax, but it's in the back of my mind that the vent was through one of the rubber terminal covers. Like the remote or HDMI.

K-1 ‘breathing’ query.
This is normal. On Nikons the air comes out of the eyepiece. I image Pentax designers have also developed an engineering solution to this problem "Eyeblow As the 24-70 2.8 is zoomed in and out, some air pumps in and out, and you may have some air blow out of the eyepiece into your eye. ...

K-1 ‘breathing’ query.
Sent it in for a warranty repair ? Yes, at least it’s boxed to be sent back first thing tomorrow. The supplier is going to inspect it first so we’ll wait and see the first outcome there.

SDM in 16-50mm
There is no real test I don't think. Some say the SDM is dying when the lens takes it's time starting up but both my 50-135mm and 16-50mm have been like that for years ... when you first mount them nothing happens but after a bit of a wait they spring (not sure that's the right word for the old S...

SDM in 16-50mm
SDM AF is very slow anyway but especially on the 16-50mm, 50-135mm and 55mm. My 50-135mm has been squeaky since I purchased it years ago. To be honest unless you got the lens for a very good price (SDM repair is around £150-£200) I would probably send it back as you sound unhappy with it and if ...

Lens Mount Screws.
We've tried everything to find the screw Rob, no luck. The lens works fine without it, but it's not an ideal solution with the lens only a couple of months old. If it hadn't been Good Friday and everywhere shut I'd have probably posted it back to WEX and ended up with a massive bill, instead I had a...

Lens Mount Screws.
I may be missing something here but can't you take one of the screws that are left back out and have a look at that? Maybe take a photo of it next to a matchstick or something similar.

Anybody enjoy cleaning fungus off lenses?
Let I'd be relaxed about the threat of them coming back one day given the price of the lens, and my hypothetical clean up!

Front back and middle from what I can tell! Just around the edges on the front, but all over elsewhere

Screen shows image not stored when photo taken
That or a faulty or incompatible card. Some of the newer larger capacity cards post date the camera which came out way back in 2003 so it simply doesn't understand them. The *ist D can only use SDHC and SD cards. This means that the largest card size that should work is 32GB. Try it with a 2 o...

Can you link to a full size image with exif intact so we can have a look. I will try and do that. My laptop is in for repair at the moment. As soon as I have it back I will find a shot and post it.

K3ii NOISE
Andrew, thanks for sending the DNG files. I processed them in ACR using an auto setting for exposure etc. I didnt apply any output sharpening but I made a noise reduction edit to one of them. These are full size jpegs so click for the larger versions. They are listed on my Flickr page as private so...

K3ii NOISE
Hi, Just for reference I have done the comparison of pictures from my K3II and the OM-D M1 MkII and can report that the K3II has blown away the pictures from the Olympus. It seems there must be a problem with the way I set the camera up that is giving me the issues. Although I must report that the ...

Asahi Pentax LX 'Sticky Mirror Syndrome'
John Riley is right -- it's not the mirror SURFACE or the Foam Mirror Bumper which is still good on both LX cameras -- it takes about 4 seconds from pressing shutter release to mirror finally moving up and shutter firing! WIFE has forbidden me to 'Spend Money on my Old Cameras' so I want...

K-3 ll FILE NAMING
Hi, I noticed recently that my file names have changed on my pictures out of my K3ll camera. I have my colour space set to sRGB and the file names to K3ll----. This is to differentiate pictures between cameras. (I have not yet gone above 10000 pictures, by the way). This has worked fine for a y...
