Split focus screen for K-30
Ok thanks! I don't know why I didn't think of using live view. I'll give it a go. I'm really hoping I don't have to start adjusting the calibration. I was nervous enough just getting the screen in! :roll:

Split focus screen for K-30
Ok so results: I tested using live view and also using the calibration testing procedure that Rachael Katz from KatzEye suggested I use (taking photos of a printed scale at fixed distance and reviewing the output). The camera is front-focusing slightly so I think I will need to fit a thinner s...

Split focus screen for K-30
Right! Finally the shims arrived today and I've fitted it and got it working correctly. It was actually really not too hard to fit. I got a bit daunted by the fact that the shim is not classed as a "user serviceable part" but it was all fine. For me the 0.25mm shim was the right one. Apparently m...

Ah, it says Pentax on the back. Thank God! That's because it's a pre-production model, the final product has Ricoh on the back but Pentax on the front.

I'm sure it will take exactly the same picture whether it has Ricoh or Pentax on the back. :roll:

Best Android app for photography
I'm not sure what to suggest here, but there's not much you can do on smartphone cameras, with the exception of the Nokia PureView 808, Lumia 1020, and the Sony Z1 (and the Z1 Mini that's rumoured to come out). Then there's the Oppo N1 that's scheduled to be released in December which boasts OIS ...

Noise Reduction / Raw editing software.
Its not for raw,no, but is highly controllable so. A good approach if using it would be to deactivate nr in the converter, save out to 16bit tiff and topaz can be used directly on this I'm elements or on a duplicate layer for extra flexibility. The latest version 5 is very fast and computer perf...

A decline in DSLR sales threatens camera companies
Convincing someone that the K-3 is better than the K-5 by the same ammount might be harder, and that is only going to get harder as time goes on. Yes, I think you are right. I have a K30, which will produce outstanding 16x12 prints. Whilst it *might* be possible to tell the difference between ima...

A decline in DSLR sales threatens camera companies
As I see it, the DSLR is dropping back into it's photo enthusiast roots instead of the techno-geek gadgetry position they've had for the last few years. When DSLRs started to become widespread, they appeared in all manor of techno media places and suddenly became a 'must-have' gadget. The lenses too...

A decline in DSLR sales threatens camera companies
this is the future. if Pentax wants a piece of it, I hope they bring out a fully modular LX-D model to compete with this. same FF sensor as this sony, but with all the features of the new k-3, but with interchangeable components like mirror less, half silvered mirror or full -dslr mirror boxes.. a...

New developments.
Those Sony cameras look odd! But full frame in a smaller than k5 camera (I'm guessing they're about the size of aP30 or smaller) sounds interesting! They will also make almost the perfect partner for those lovely old k lenses, making use of the whole imaging circle and offering superior focus peakin...

Why do we stay with Pentax?
I stay with Pentax because I like the ergonomics and the colour balance of the results. In other words, it's efficient to use and the results are exactly what I want. The quality of the construction is an added bonus, everything fits together properly, smoothly and beautifully. Quality can be enjoye...

Why do we stay with Pentax?
I quite agree with you both, do you think it's also to do with the old school charm of what Pentax used to stand for back in the older days, and those things are still true today, I also love using, holding and caressing my MX-1 just because there is no other current compact camera that feels like i...
