Singapore Shopping
We will be staying in Singapore for a few days on our way back from visiting family in New Zealand. I was just wondering if anyone knows of a shop selling Pentax.

New lens advice
Can't disagree with Mike, the Pentax 35mm f2.8 macro (either version) is a superb lens with a focal length the equivalent of a "standard" lens on Full frame and the advantage of the macro focus range too. If you'd prefer a focal length that isn't covered by the kit lens then the DA 15mm f4.0 has a l...

Don't dismiss the Kit Lenses, for the money they are excellent lenses. Until a year or two ago almost all my landscape work was done with the Pentax 18-55 kit lens. Looking back at the photos I took they were amazing. I now use a Pentax 18-135DA for my walk about landscape photography but only becau...

The A series 50mm macro is a stunner of a lens. It will go down to macro levels and it can produce superb detail from distant scenes. I often put it with an F series 1.7x auto focus adapter to get both AF and a splendid 80mm job. (80-90mm primes cost an arm and a leg). This combination always goes o...

Limiting myself to AF lenses I would second the votes for the DA 35mm Limited and the 16-85mm. The former is the best landscape prime I ever had for Pentax but if you buy then make sure that focus is completely accurate at infinity. If you read through the reviews on the US forum you'll find some ...

Wireless remote control compatible with Pentax K3.3
I would welcome any experience regarding remote control for the K33 as it seems the only one that is being offered now is a sealed unit no facility to change the battery or charge it which has to be “binned“ when the battery runs out. If anyone has some experience with any form of remote Control ...

To buy or not to buy
I have a now rather broken K50 which gave many years of good service, it was nice and light especially with the Ltd primes! The K50 broke gradually and I'd always fancied a K1, the old lenses can be used in the native focal length, so eventually I got a second hand K1 Mark 1 via this forum, a fabulo...

To buy or not to buy
To some degree I'm in the same position. I've kept the K-3 going for many many years now and am at an upgrade point, so assessing what's out there. Pentax have rather stalled on this area of late, so the K-1 (2016) or K-3 iii (2021) are the latest relevant options. Having moved from a K-30 to...

To buy or not to buy
The various right angled finders generally only fit M series cameras - they don't fit over a K series eyepiece. I have tried altering the mounts to fit (with a Dremel angle grinder, for example) and it is a nightmare! As to the tethering thingie, that which utilised the wifi card on an original K3 (...

Which Monitor
A lot of PCs come as a single unit these days - processor and monitor all in one and their screens go from reasonable to whopping big. Go to Currys ( for example) and have a play with some of them. They also come with gigantic hard drives. One benefit of a desktop job over a laptop is constant scree...

Which Monitor
Hi everyone, I have received a lot of info for which I am very grateful for because if I hadn’t asked I could have spent a lot of money and ended up no better off. I am now checking my budget to see which is going to be the best option. I am leaning towards a mini desktop computer and a decent monit...

Just back from hols and catching up. I see you have narrowed down some choices. I too own a 27" Dell Super sharp monitor which I purchased 2nd hand and use it solely for photo editing. I love it and don't see any need to upgrade it. I have no experience of the Asus Pro Art but hear good things about...

The screen size is, I think, relative to the output of your PC/Apple/Laptop. For work, I had a 27" screen, it was okay. When work had it back I had to look for an alternative. My several year old laptop only supports FHD (a LOT of googling involved!)...my set up peaks at 24". When is saw the Proa...

Editing
Hi, I have my new setup and I am starting to get back into wildlife/bird photography. Now I have a few questions to ask, is it worth changing a Raw file into a Tiff file and then working on that to edit and is there another better but not necessarily expensive editing software than Photoshop. I pre...
