Do you have a question for the Pentax team of experts?
Do you really expect us to need to calibrate all modern lenses to the body or should they autofocus accurately straight from the box please? Probably they won't 100% (discussed on other threads). BUT - good idea would be to link the AF calibration with the LiveView focus. i.e. to have the camera...

I am the ONLY one using PENTAX for professional Press work here in Essex -- now I find a fault with my 2007 K10D which is embarassing when people are kept standing there while I fiddle -- sometimes the shutter will not release -- I press and press and nothing happens so I take lens OFF 'Auto-Focus'...

Would it be possible to have AE-L (exposure lock) on MF (manual focus) by half-pressing the shutter on the k-5/5II/5IIs and k-3 (on a future firmware update)? Thanks, Ricardo

My understanding is that the K-3 and indeed the K-30 and K-01 are built on entirely different hardware /software architecture to the K-5 series and this is why the K-3, K-01 and K-30 have focus peaking and the K-5 series does not. It may be that the same approach cannot be applied to the K-5's to f...

Do you have a question for the Pentax team of experts?
I'd like to know why: The focus peaking is only available prior to starting video recording on the K-30. It would be extremely helpful for manual focus work during recording. And can someone please explain the thinking (assume there was some?) behind this new 'Movie SR' shake reduction in the...

Do you have a question for the Pentax team of experts?
BUT - good idea would be to link the AF calibration with the LiveView focus. i.e. to have the camera automatically compare the difference between the phase AF and the contrast AF and apply the setting for that lens. Still on the subject of AF calibration : What target distance do Pentax recommend...

What are the future plans (if any) for the Pentax Photo Gallery? New additions to the Premiere Collection seem to have been suspended, and as many have said on this site the quality control of the gallery overall has been variable for a while... personally would love to see it back as an inspiratio...

Hi AVS The FA lens is a standard fast lens that will do very nicely, excellent quality, reasonable price. The DA* lens is a highest grade portrait lens, also usable generally but rather more expensive. The last two are manual focus and have to be used in stop down mode, so maybe not the bes...

Question for "team" Pentax... What are the odds of seeing Pentax **PK** full frame within the next two years? Can that place any statement in writing? Followed by; not so much a question but a few statements... Can Pentax "bring back" a few of their classic lenses to that they can get the Pentax ...

Do you have a question for the Pentax team of experts?
There is now so much information to be had on the Internet if you care to look for it that the need for a manufacturer to answer technical questions is much less than it would have been ten or fifteen years ago. I therefore don't feel particularly deprived by the fact that the offer of advice has...

I'm not going to swear, but Windows 8 isn't a c**p operating system, it's very stable, loads very fast and is generally good. Some don't like it because it introduced some new ways of navigating compared to the previous Windows OS's and therefore requires getting accustomed to change, but fact is y...

I lost interest months ago. Bit like all the things they were going to do during the forum revamp such as a go to last post button and putting back the amount of views a post has had.

My question why does the pentax server drop the connection so often, ie go to the 2nd page of a thread then try to go back to the first and I get the serching for connection symbol going round and round. It is often quicker to come out of the pentaxuser page and log in again.

I don't know, both on my PC and iPads it's awful, but on my phone it's great, there us just to much dead space and to much scrolling. On a plus note the text is very clear, but I can feel it's going to end up giving me a headache if I stare at it for to long. Bring back the old site, but maybe...
