Have fun with it Axel. I was going to ask if you could come back and let us know how you're getting on with it....

? The only way I have keep the cost low, quality high and covered that range with my Pentax system is buying 3rd party lenses, some second hand? Theoretically something you could do with any of the other main brands Yes, but I'm not only talking about lenses. True, lucky Samyang are making K fits, ...

I'm not only talking about lenses maybe its a good time to remember the number of unique positives Ahh OK. Positive for me would be something like a my grey box DAL 55-300 I got from SRS's ebay store a long while back. WOW, for someone who generally doesn't need 50mm + focal lengths what a sta...

I think Pentax lost a bet...
.... Then again, this just makes one wonder "what if". I think my initial post is a valid query. Pentax risked being different, and I think it paid off. Not as well as they would have hoped, but they did create / fill in a particular niche in the photographers' world. Can it really be true that lens...

I think Pentax lost a bet...
Bear in mind that much of the current camera design stems from the era of film and manual focusing. Wider aperture lenses are brighter and therefore easier to focus manually. Most wide aperture lenses were probably often used around f/8 like every other lens....

I think Pentax lost a bet...
Browsing this thread made me think maybe Pentax should re-manufacture some of their old A series lens, perhaps with a 'Classic Pentax' moniker. Manual focus of course as before. There would be little in the way of optical development costs as the designs already exist. I imagine they'd want to swap ...

Perseids Meteor Shower - Tonight! 12th August 2013
Been out for an hour in Vermont and saw four....each one occurring whilst the buffer of the MX-1 was clearing (travelling light). Oh well, I think I may have some reasonable shots (for a compact) of the Milky Way. And I've seen way more stars than we get in light-polluted London. PS ability to ...

Fine Focusing
I've just finished checking all of my AF lenses on my K-r using one or more of the focusing test charts available on the web and they all seem to be alright and not to require any fine adjustment. Do I:- a) need to go and get my eyes tested; b) count myself lucky that my lenses are all correc...

Phil, are your pictures sharp? If so, don't worry. If not, look into it further. All my lenses are fine as well and I spend my time shooting images, not checking focus charts!

Fine Focusing
My thread about focus adjustments on the K10D was sparked because I'm seeing what appears to be focus issues in my pictures, and I want to rule out the possiblity that the camera is doing it wrong so that I'll know it's my fault. If you're not getting focus problems in your images, don't worry ab...

Just a question really - is it true that on Pentax our AF performance is more camera body dependant due to the 'screw drive' system, more then other brands which would be more dependent on the lens mechanics? I'm not quite sure in what sense you mean, but all components need to be within tolerance t...

I haven't sent an image of to be printed as I haven't the full confidence of what I'm seeing on the screen will come back to me as a print. Maybe it is time to bite the bullet :D

I haven't sent an image of to be printed as I haven't the full confidence of what I'm seeing on the screen will come back to me as a print. Maybe it is time to bite the bullet :D Sending a single image off to be printed isn't a very large or expensive bullet to bite :-) Provided you have your mon...

Now before I start, I know this is yet another thread of thousands that have been started before. But. I work in marketing and happened to speak to someone in China last night who works for a firm who is contract out to another firm that works with Pentax/Ricoh in Far East marketing. I was inf...
