PEF's and exposure bracketing?
Pentax don't aim for optimum exposure in the camera..... so what's good for the goose is good for the ganderers :lol: If you have Highlight correction turned on the camera underexposes by usually one stop and then pulls it back up if the highlights will stand it. That's why with it turned on the ...

Advice.... SSD drives and Photoshop
I have an SSD only setup. I like having software on one SSD and photos on a second one. When working with batches both a fastish CPU and a half decent SSD are well worth the money. I need a new CPU as mine is old but my SSDs are still going strong. The older SSDs I have are 3x 480GB ARC100 drives...

Advice.... SSD drives and Photoshop
here's my suggestion for workflow.. since my productions these days are 80% video and 20% stills I edit primarily off a 15" MBP so all my software reside on the internal ssd and programs load fast. I have a 2 TB raid ssd usb-c each 1 tb WD ssd in usb3 gen2 enclosures (very fast raid) setup. (...

Advice.... SSD drives and Photoshop
I've for a long time now, kept my images and all other files on separate hard drives to my programs, so all programs are on C: so if the OS crashes and I have to re-install which has happened all I need to worry about is reloading the programs as I don't store any data on C: I'm presuming this is...

Advice.... SSD drives and Photoshop
Thanks for all the advice. I found the displayport cable and I am back in business. Today have been busy installing stuff. I remember as a kid watching "Tomorrows World" (showing my age now) and hearing that computers would in the future give us all loads of free time to do other things :D

Advice.... SSD drives and Photoshop
Well everything seemed to be going swimingly until I tried to use Lightroom or Silkypix when i was getting blue-screen issues. As this was the reason for moving to a new computer and OS I was not best pleased. Top marks to the computer manufacturers though. A call to the tech support line and the...

Finally succumbed
Moving to mirrorless, change is required to: - Focus method (equivalent to live view focusing). - Viewfinder. Most everything else is the same, including ergonomics, menu systems, physical mode/adjustment dials, sensor, battery, SD card slots, SR, mechanical shutter etc I believe there's m...

Finally succumbed
Main reason for change is weight. As for image quality its probably on a par with other cameras with the "kit" lenses. To answer Barrie, I would keep the K-70 for the articulated view screen as the camera is mainly used for photographing things like a slide of the inside of a snails mouth and other ...

I hope you enjoy your new set-up Stan and if it means you can continue to enjoy photography that has to be a good thing. If I could afford to I would probably jump ship too. I'm fed up with waiting for something from Pentax. As it is I can't afford to so have to stick with what I have, and I actual...

Very Nice Stan :D ...... but I still think you would have been better buying a 'Charles Atlas Bodybuilding Course' :lol: I paid for one back in the 70's, but the ba$tard never sent me my muscles :mrgreen: :wink: --

Dear Pentax, this is good bye.
You have to make the decisions that suit your circumstances. Nothing wrong with that. Pop back and see us from time to time.

Dear Pentax, this is good bye.

Dear Pentax, this is good bye.
Don't forget you can have lots of fun (and get lots of great photos) adapting old K-mount lenses to your A7 III 8) Thank you all, that's so nice of you to say. I'm taking all the "click" mechanisms out of all my old Pentax MF glass and adding focus puller rings and a pk to sony adapter to the ki...

Dear Pentax, this is good bye.
Samsung cameras were Doomed! from the minute they switched over to mirrorless :twisted: There is a rumour that Pentax might use a Samsung sensor in a future camera. Pentax celebrate 100 years next year and I expect a Big Bang! from the explosion of the new releases :mrgreen: -- ah yes.. I bo...

Dear Pentax, this is good bye.
I think I heard a rumour that there was to be a special retro film makers silent camera for the 100th year Celebrations. B&W only obviously. Asahi Brass f/10 Lens. 10fps (sometimes) video with built in fx such as flickering and burnt out picture..... realistic scratches and fake projector acetate ...

K-70 and WiFi Button.
I assume it is the same as on the K1, as cycler says you need a phone or a tablet with the Image Sync app on. You turn the WiFi function on the camera and there is probably a small light which comes on. On the phone/tablet go to the WiFi function and select the camera to pair it, then open the Image...

A little help in wedding photography...?
To repeat others comments, my answer is always 'No', I did one once as an informal favour (which worked out OK) - SFXn, FA28-80 & AF240FT. I don't think there's any problem with the gear (or the photographer), it's just an impossible ask - very sharp, clear, vibrant photos where there's movement ...
