A nice video about the astrotracer feature of the gps unit.
It is a very piece of kit. You have to be aware of its limitations though - if you look at the edges of the star shots in the demonstration then it becomes clear. I would buy the unit predominantly though if you need the GPS functionality as a perfectly adequate barn door tracker can be made fo...

I curently shoot university ceremonies, kids kicking the ball and weddings/baptismes. I find my equipment(k5ii or k20d+ sigma 18-125mm hsm or 70-300mm+ 540fgz) to be more than perfect for the first two. But, i am not happy with what i get out of it when shooting weddings/baptismes. Problems: 1...

This is my take on your questions 1. You need to take a custom WB in the church, you could use various products to help with this, Expo disc for example. You could take an image with a colour passport in the frame and then set WB in post. 2. Not exactly in focus? What aperture are you shooting...

petros205 Have you tried re-calbrating your lenses, Just a thought? You can use the lens fine tune adjust on the K5. If you are shooting at f/8 things should be in focus, unless your shutter speed is to low in relation to your lenses focal length? If you can post some images, I think people...

You shoot indoors at f/8??? Even with a flash on younare going to get blur as the shutter speed will be to low even at iso 800 You really need some fast glass to stop the focus hunting, focal systems need light and f/5.6 lenses are going to restrict the focussing speed, accuracy and your hitbr...

K5 and Tamron 18-200 Focussing Issue?
Hi, I had the K5 and Tamron 18-200mm lens delivered and had a good play with it yesterday. 80% of the shots i took were slightly out of focus. Does this body or this lens have a known focussing issue? Matt

K5 and Tamron 18-200 Focussing Issue?
My K-5 has focussing issues with all types of lenses, including Pentax glass. It just isn't consistent - for example I can take the same image twice from the same spot with the K-5 and the Pentax DA 17-70 lens and one will be in focus whereas the next is off. This doesn't happen with the same lens...

K5 and Tamron 18-200 Focussing Issue?
As davd said there are focus issues with the k-5. The problem is if the the k-5 consistantly misfocuses how do you know you are setti g the focus correctly. All my lenses needed correction on the k-5 yet on the mkii none needed adjustment leaving me to the same conclusion as David and that the le...

K5 and Tamron 18-200 Focussing Issue?
I downloaded Yvon Borques lens focus chart and the only lens that caused me grief was the 28 - 300 Tamron. Nothing on the chart came close to being in focus. Std lens, 50 - 200 and DA *300 were all fine.

Pentax celebrates it's 20 millionth camera!!
Ah yes the Philippines, my mom's home town. :) One of the reasons I chose Pentax was because of the Digital Photographer Philippines Pentax Forum members being really friendly and answering all my questions... I would have otherwise ended up with a Nikon D80 back then! Very nice to hear Pentax re...

cleaning inside the camera
Nothing. Never touch the mirror or mirror mechanism. If that gets out of alignment so does you ability to manually focus and see when the camera is focused properly. In a camera's lifetime you should be able to get by without cleaning the mirror. Odd specks of dust won't have any effect on the im...

cleaning inside the camera
John's advice is spot on. Unlike your bathroom mirror, where the silvering is on the back - with a glass surface facing you, the reflecting surface on an SLR camera is on the front and is incredibly easy to damage. A cotton bud will scratch the surface so will a lens tissue! A gentle waft of c...
