Pentax Service - a Thank You
I just got back my K20D just 7 days after taking it into repair at Pentax HQ in Slough and I owe them a big Thank You. Just over a week ago I dropped my Pentax K20D attached to my Sigma 500mm f/4.5 from a height of around 1.5m onto a hard wooden surface :shock: The K20D suffered a smashed View...

Pentax Service - a Thank You
The viewfinder is now clear as a bell (especially since they cleaned everything as well). The only pain (apart from in my wallet) was that all the settings were back to factory-defaults.

Full Frame?
Matt. I think you've jumped to the wrong conclusion re: noise levels. It's higher pixel density that causes noise. I was going to start explaining it, but found this on the net & it sums up what I was gonna say - so I've taken the lazy copy & paste option. Full frame is 36mm x 24mm APS-C is...

Which?
AFAIK this was a custom script written by the owners (of this site and ephotozine) rather than an off-the-shelf package. When the new layout was first introduced earlier this year it was more than a little controversial to say the least (it generated a record-breaking thread with people wanting t...

Samsung and Pentax Difference
Slightly off topic, people used to say years ago that you could not go wrong buying a Sony (no matter what it was). But that was back in the days when Sony was a market innovator. Now they have 'lost the plot' in most areas.

How to set up a link?
As Ice says First go to your Picasa site and copy the url from the top of the page. Then come back here to your post and click the link button just below where you are typing. You will see a box open up which has a space to type and http:/ is already in there. Seeing as you have probably already c...

I have about £350 what lens?
I would always recommend one of the 50mm lenses, personally I have the Pentax A-50mm f1.7 which can be had for around £50 on ebay, but this is a manual focus - the Pentax FA50mm f1.4 is around £150 but is auto-focus. These are incredibly sharp lenses and you can achieve very nice depth of field aff...

Genuine Pentax Leather Hand Strap
Please be aware Stefan that this is an American site, and many of the products on American sites are not available to the UK Pentax owners! How do you come at that information? I've looked at the Pentax UK site and I can't find a lot of the accessories there but I know that they are aviable here l...

Genuine Pentax Leather Hand Strap
I tried a while back to buy from the Pentax USA site, they wouldn't ship to the UK. Of course normal US retailers will.

I tried a while back to buy from the Pentax USA site, they wouldn't ship to the UK. Of course normal US retailers will. I know and was considering that if they couldn't get it here. What would be the alternative product to buy on this side of the world, I've no idea where to begin?

Check the site also for other reviews. Not sure if there are many. I ran into this one when I...

all those old Zenit lenses
The Zenit "kit" lens (Helios 44 - various incarnations) is a capable performer and a good portrait length on a DSLR - it's a Zeiss Biotar copy and is very, very sharp with lovely bokeh. If you get one from the KMZ factory then the chances are it was built with original (pre war) Zeiss machinery too....

all those old Zenit lenses
That's right Hefty, I have a cheap Chinese adaptor that refuses to focus to infinity, the lip stops it! Get a proper Pentax one and you'll have no problems. :)
