Lens or Body the cause of good/bad autofucus
Agreed, when doing my research on this lens I find it really hard to find images taken with the 50 - 135 but when I do they are usually excellent quality. Most posts you find about this lens are very old posts which tend to focus on the earlier models and sdm failure. Has anyone used this lens for...

Epson 800 Printer
Vic Remove all the inks and then put them back in. This might fool the printer in to thinking you have replaced with new. Cheers Dave

Ken - get in touch with the company handling this import for you. Tell them (after they confirm the duty/vat, and handling fee) that you give them authority to clear the goods on your behalf. That should hopefully speed things up a bit... Pity you never purchased from Thailand - I'm due back from...

When it arrives, pay the fee then write to Parcelforce asking them to justify the charges. When they give you a feeble answer, write back and tell them that you will take them to the small claims court because the charge is unfair. They will refund the money because they don't want it to go to c...

The cheapest price for the 02 I found here was $249. B&H charge $296.95 for the 02 but $279 if it has a white Q body attached! Sooo, it is due to arrive tomorrow by UPS. I bought a black Q with the 8.5mm lens two weeks back for the wife as a local dealer was shedding stock and even bundled it wit...

I remember going to Heathrow with a friend to collect a real Samurai sword - there was a small amount to pay in duty &c. The handling company suggested it would be cleared at around 10:00. We arrived a little before 10:00 and were told it was moving "up the queue" and finally that it was numbe...

How could it be possible?
Once you get it off (I like ronniemac solution :) and before you put it back on again take a hack saw, preferably a junior one and carefully saw through (at one location only :mrgreen: ) and clean up the cut with a needle file. The next time you screw in on you should be able to squeeze it off re...

Lightroom 5 released
You can upgrade from any version of Lightroom to v5 for £50. Would definitely go for 5, I've been using the beta since it came out and find a use the new radial graduated filter so often it's very frustrating going back to 4.

Need help and advice...
I've done a bit of work to this shot, but I've tried not to lose the texture and tone of the skin. The background is quite sunny - does anybody think that perhaps I should edit in an overhanging tree branch, to suggest shade in the shot? As for the hair - I've got a hold of a tablet and pen, so I...

Need help and advice...
Being "Thai" skin tones, it looks a little "false".. I reckon if the shot was taken with perhaps 1/2 to 2/3 stops slower, the skin tones would be pretty much "spot on". Although there was a bit of lipstick involved, the lips in the above are too red. OK you caught me. That means I have to do the...

Focus Points?
On the Nikons you can activate all of the focus points or just one. On my K7 & K5 it seems I can only activate one focus point at a time? OR have I missed something in my operating manual? I'm a firm believer in. Read the Bl***y manual. (I wrote a few in my time) But I'm blowed if I can find anythin...

Focus Points?
Set it to Auto on the back, on the switch around the back AF button. Also in the Info tab you have a choice of how many focus points are active when set to auto. This is all from memory as I haven't got it in front of me. So hope I'm right

Focus Points?
Not the same as Nikon, but have you tried AF-C and enabled focus tracking? It works fairly well.

Focus Points?
Alan.Perfect. That's what I was looking for. (But what heading is it under in the manual?) Fletcher8. (Name?) Yes AF-C is fine I use it for sport sometimes but Alan has answered the question I asked. CHEERS Vic.

Help with old light meter
Thanks John. I know the electrickery in my camera will be more accurate, but I do like the feel of the old technology, so it'd be nice to use it, once or twice. The more I fiddle, though, the more I think that the fstop gauge has become seperated from the thumb wheel. I could stick it back on, but...

LightZone 4 for Windows released as Freeware
Note to Win8 users - Win8 is having none of it, unless you allow it past the UAC (User Account Control). I tried to download and install it, and Mr Gates' "beast from Hell" decided to block it "to protect my computer"... You could turn UAC off, install and turn back on.

Converting sRGB toYCbCr
I don't suppose we have a member here fluent in Linux, who can tell me a simple way to do this conversion, preferably with some sort of Photoshop (or more likely Gimp) action, and then to be able to convert the image back to sRGB after editing? I understand some Linux but not enough to do this. Any ...
