Whydid it happen?
Yes it happened to me a while ago but it was more than likely my fault as I had had the sceen out for cleaning a few days previously. If I'd cleaned the screen I could understand it, I've not touched this one, but have had the K110 one out and back with no trouble.

If Money was no problem what camera would you buy?
If moneys no object then a Nikon D3 - after having had a play with one -THAT is a camera that does everything i would want it to. Fantastic ISO6400 and the ability to focus on a moving object:evil:. Money would have to be no object to afford some decent lenses to do it justice though:P.

Bayonet filters would be fantastic. But in the real world all that extra cost would be prohibitive. Unless ALL filters were bayonet fit.:D Back on topic, I fancied a Pentax 6x7. Just to be boring again.:wink:

Pros & cons of various types of remotes
Hi Amin, Got this ebay for £16 inc postage to UK. Receiver sits on flash shoe and remote has 100 mtr range. Not the best quality, but good enough for occasional use. It does half shutter to activate focus then full release as required. If you hold the button down for 3 seconds the shutter locks...

Pros & cons of various types of remotes
Hi Amin! The pentax F remote is a very small thing witch you can hide in your hand easely if you want to make a group shot with you included. The rest would be also very small though, maybe. I don't know to be honest :) Will test the standby thing for you :wink: nope doesn't wake up, you can ...

Pros & cons of various types of remotes
Dan means that his camera shuts down his buildin IR receiver so it doesn't matter what remote you use since it's in the camera. You have also remotes that works on radio frequencies (RF) those have their oown receiver that plugs into the camera. Since those are connected to a socket on the camera...

Hi Amin, Nope still haven't got it right, but you got it almost. Using the K10D here so might be a bit different. If you go to menu > Custom settings > go to tab AF (green colour here) you see the option > AF in remote controll if you enable that the camera first will focus if you press the but...

Hi All. Please can someone help me out with some advice on macro photography. As it is 13 years since I last looked into this please forgive my ignorance. Back then, I bought a Pentax MZ-M and Tamron SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Macro 1:1 (72B) + centon MR20 ring-flash + Tamron adaptall-2 mount (Dentistry e...

Help needed for new Macro set-up
Dan, your comments about the ring-flash were spot-on - just manual or auto. From memory, I used it on manual and figured out different settings for the face shots and the teeth shots (after much experimentation!). The experimentation stage should be much quicker! No waiting around for the film to co...

Hi Josh, The price looks tempting but that telescope isn't really suitable for astro imaging. You may get away with some lunar images but that's about it. And with a 1.25" focuser you'll get some pretty bad vignetting too. That telescope is very popular within astro circles when strapped to the b...

Heavy duty tripod head for 500mm lens
Don't know where you got the idea from!:D Seriously though, cracking bargain there, but I would get something sturdier than the 055, mine just felt way too top heavy! Those arms are handy for strapping a wired remote to though, pan and find the target with one hand, focus with the other, ...
