Just back from a week in Ontario, visited Niagara Falls, and two weeks in BC mainly in Squamish and Whistler areas. These are places that attract photographers, but not a Pentax in sight until the departure terminal Vancouver - he and his K-3 were returning to Japan . And I am always on the lookou...

Batteries for K3/K5 etc - just asking for pointers to some of the recent threads on these
Generally I can't tell the difference between cheapo no-name batteries and the originals but I bought a back up for my wife's Canon and it's useless, running out after just a few shots. My K10 and K5 batteries are much better: I never know which I'm using. My Canon Eos M, (notoriously power-hungry) ...

leaf out of the book
I think the difference Stu would be that they would quickly realise what great cameras the Pentax's were and Pentax would never get them back again!! :D :D

Question re. Lightroom and raw files
Lightroom will not retain or alter the original image, just record the changes, and 'import' is just for editing and filing so don't rely on it to keep the original RAW file. I use a dedicated hard drive for photos onto which I copy the ones I want to keep before opening Lightroom, and if possible u...

what causes this?
If you don't have the correct cover then just place a piece of black cloth over the back of the camera. It's easier and less fiddley. CHEERS Vic.

This is not an add. It is real.
Hi, I am writing this to show how contrary to the trouble some of you had with Pentax (Rico) in England it can be done by the Australian sole Pentax Agent C.R.Kennedy in Melbourne. I owe a Pentax K5 and a k5IIs. The K5IIs suddenly developed a fault: The autofocus was badly hunting. It finally lo...

Recommend a Lightweight Tripod
A while back I wanted something I could carry on my bicycle for shooting early morning landscapes and after some consideration went for a Red Snapper RSF-284M & RSH-61/30 Ball Head. It is light, folds up quite small and comes with a bag that I could easily sling over my shoulders. I actually use...

extension tubes question....
just having a rethink. I thought the idea of a longer macro lens was to move the camera back from the subject. Whereas the idea of the tubes is to bring you closer. Could you just use an old standard short focal length lens, maybe with the tubes, to achieve what you want?

Winter holiday in Northern Norway
Welcome to the forums and good luck with your K50. I haven't been to the north of Norway (only the south) but for that type of photography I would make two recommendations. The first is to take a good tripod because you'll need slow shutter speeds. The second is to consider taking an old manual...

Winter holiday in Northern Norway
There are several excellent tutorials online for photographing the aurora. You will need a good tripod, a remote (or use the 3second delay), preferably shoot RAW, with a wide angle lens, no filters on the lens, manual lens or not set the camera to manual focus and pre-focus at infinity. Set the ...
