Usino sdhc Memory in a pentaxuser k5
That might be the case but at some time there were also unofficial 4GB SD cards they didn't work in all devices because Address bits what you say but some device didn't had those limit so they had no problem with the 4GB size. Like some PCs, they had a 20 bit address limit, same with cams ! They do...

Usino sdhc Memory in a pentaxuser k5
Just back from repair and now R1.11 - which allows use of SDXC cards :) or so they say ;) Sorry that didn't came out right. I meant who says that SDXC didn't work before the update?

Usino sdhc Memory in a pentaxuser k5
Nice to see you back Stefan. I have an SDXC card and it was NOT working in my K-5 BEFORE I updated the Firmware. After updating the Firmware it is working fine BUT the speed is not as advertised on the card. According to Pentax Customer Services it is that the Hardware is only capable of makin...

Usino sdhc Memory in a pentaxuser k5
On the speed issue, all I am saying is that the K-5 can not make use of the full possible speed that a SDXC Card may have. It is a bit like to buy a card reader from a £1 shop of fork out for a Lexar reader. The Lexar reader will be faster then the one from the 3! shop. It also states on the...

Usino sdhc Memory in a pentaxuser k5
Thanks you everyone for your feedback....Just about to go out this week and buy the pentax K5. Found it in a shop in Rome for 1100 euros (body only). Not bad i think. I cant wait. My only doubt now before my purchase goes back to the discussion of memory cards. Looked all over the net but didnt come...

Advice needed for a studio set up please
I am planning on setting up a "studio" area in my double garage where I have lots of space. I have a back drop and a couch and I would like to set up to shoot portraits and body shots on the couch. I do not have any experience with studio lighting or photography. Furthermore I want to end up wi...

Advice needed for a studio set up please
my personal experience tells me that: - 200Ws isn't actually all that much - modifiers cost more than lights - it's quite possible to do nice portraits with a single light and reflector if you're not looking for a white background. - lighting the background is the single most difficult part ...

Is the k5 worth buying
I've got a K-5 and a K-7 as back-up and having used the K-5 since January I will probably in the near future sell the K-7 as in my opinion there is a big difference in IQ, I've found there is much more detail with the K-5 and images with high ISO's are much improved. I am very pleased with the re...

Is the k5 worth buying
Judging by that lens line-up, you've also got bags of money !? So the few 'extra pennies' won't be felt ! some of us are less lucky, so the K7 may be a better buy I might be missing something here and don't want to detract from what this topic is about, but where did I mention the lenses in th...

Is the k5 worth buying
Someone wanted to know the difference between the k-5 compared to other bodies in the Pentax range. For me the k-5 fast frame rate is an absolute clincher. I shoot mainly music & for most concert photographers the jump shot is probably considered the bench mark. During a festival assignment shoot...

UV Filters
I'm eagerly awaiting delivery of a UV transmitting filter (blocks visible). When that comes I hope I'll give it some use :). I do have standard UV filters for most (not quite all) my lenses, though I don't normally use them. The last time I was photographing near sea spray I didn't have one with me...

UV Filters
I tend to have one in place most of the time - Then I remove it to maybe use a CPL or ND then forget to replace it, or as it's in my pocket somewhere and probably needs de-dusting. When I get home I put it back on. As to why - I've no idea I was told (taught?) many years ago that it would protect ...

Does it make any sense to use Pentax in the wedding photography?
As I see it the pros for Pentax are very good colour, contrast,good noise control and an excellent choice of lenses in the range you are likely to need.Any issues with focus speed or longer lenses do not really cause problems in this environment. I am surprised more people do not use Pentax for w...

Does it make any sense to use Pentax in the wedding photography?
Because on some forums ( even Pentax forums) it was clearly stated that without FF you can't even think about shooting weddings. Every forum has it's share of idiots. Anyone who says that is one of them. I bet if the internet and forums had existed back in the pre-DSLR era the same people would hav...

Jessops (God Bless 'Em)
Hi All, I dont know if this has been mentioned before, but it looks like Jessops has finally gone back to selling Pentax gear. Now....I hate Jessops, but at least new users can get to hold krs and k5s, and feel how much better they are, build wise that the competition :)
