Not really new but first post . . .
Hello Pentaxians. I joined back in 2008 but oddly just recently posted. I have mainly kept track of the magazine and a few specific threads. I go by Blue on this and a few other Pentax and lens forums. I have been into Pentax for a while. I have a modest working collection of m42 Pentax bodies a...

Hello from me.
I'm Geoff, I live in Hebden Bridge, West Yorks and for some unknown reason have today joined the Pentax User Forum. I wish I knew why this had happened today but I don't! My Pentax experience goes back to about 1982 and a second hand MV (I think) and then an ME Super. I then upgraded to autofocus...

Another Pentax Kx owner.
Thank you guys. Welcome! you'll definitely enjoy your K-x!!! Which kit lens package did you go for? Thanks. It was the twin lens package from PC word (Yeah I know, PC world lol). I originally wanted to buy it from CameraWarehouse (£544), but after seeing a link on here showing the chain ...

Another Pentax Kx owner.
Hi and welcome! As has already been said - best thing to do is just take lots of shots, and then look back at the best and the worst, and see how both the technical settings (e.g. focus mode, f-stop, iso, etc) and the artistic composition (e.g. your position relative to subject, angle of lens, et...

old user with a new camera
It looks like I need to wait 30 days before putting anything into a portfolio, so those will come later. Back in the analogue days, I was a Canon-guy (AE1), but I learned to shoot on a K1000. A couple years back, after breaking my 4th point-and-shoot digital camera in 2 years, I figured it was ti...

Hello and welcome! Not many (any?) ex-Sony people here so it will be interesting to hear some comparisons. I for one have in the past contemplated jumping ship to Sony, so it will be interesting to hear why you came the other way :) Also interested how you find the K7 sensor compared to the A700 ...

Butterfly Macros
Just discovered a butterfly house in my neighborhood, and started shoooting them. Pentax K10d - 50mm macro auto-focus lens - anti-shake setting. Not using tripod because the darn subjects won't lie still long enough. I shot at EV 800 which gives me unacceptable noise. Feel I need auxiliary lig...

Butterfly Macros
Thanks to all for your comments. Those who suggest a longer lens, I appreciate the concept, but financially, I’ll stay with my 50 mm macro autofocus Sigma. It has stood me in good stead on many many flower shots, and the butterflies will just have to make do with it. I do have an old manual focus...

Butterfly Macros
Just wondering if anyone has experience (good or bad) with those LED Ring Lights that are on ebay? Forgot to answer Gareth on this, as I said I have this, I have found that you should use standard AA batteries as the lights are brighter, I was using rechargeable ones. I find the ring light is gr...

Hi Folks
Welcome Alan! I am glad to hear you are returning to photography. I took a lengthy sabbatical of about 8 years and came back in with full force into all digital. Best of luck to you! Ron Mt Pleasant WI

New GX-10 User
Hello Peeps. I'm a new user of the Pentax brand having just bought a Samsung GX-10 ( GX10 ) from a fellow Pentax User Forum Member (Hi John). I like the idea of having such an extensive accessory list that Pentax Users have. I had been using Olympus/Panasonic Four Thirds but have slowly moved awa...

Welcome back :) Switching to Nikon is one of those things i think many of us consider every now and then! The D7000 simply inspired a new round of it! I sat down and worked out the cost of switching only last night, and concluded I'd rather try out the K5 and save the extra two grand (and that's ...

Old glass, new body
Welcome to the forum HarryH Any Pentax K mount lens will fit the K7, what you really need to be aware of is the actual amount of compatability. Heres a brief summary: K mount, useable but with manual focus and manual metering. KA mount, useable but with manual focus and in some case lack of m...
