Finally adding digital to PK stable
Hi, I have just joined as I am looking at finally investing in a DSLR. For many years I used Pentax mount film cameras - I have a Cosina CS-1 (with Auto Adapter!), Pentax ME Super, Pentax K1000, and Pentax MG. When DSLRs came out there was no way with a young family that I could afford one, ...

Hello from another newbie
Hi all My name is Bill got back into photography a couple of years ago. Would have loved to have owned the K-10, but couldn't afford it and plumbed for the GX-10, which I am pleased to say is a great camera for the stage I am at right now. Looking to upgrade to the K-7 next year when the price co...

Joined the forum a month or two back but not really "joined in" yet. Took up photography about 360 days ago when the little K-X came through the door. It was supposed to be a way of recording my Lake District walks (I live in Cumbria 5 miles from Ullswater) but somehow the camera has taken over my l...

A week of firsts...
So, this week I purchased my first K-mount DSLR (previously having been a Sony Alpha user, and a long-time film user), my first KAF2 lens, and the first camera I've personally paid more than £20 for. Both items were - I'm pleased to say - bought from PU members, and I decided I might as well star...

Afternoon All, greetings from Cheshire
Welcome. It's very easy to attach your camera to the telescope. I presume you use 1.25" eyepieces. You need a T ring for Pentax Kmount, like . That attaches to the camera. Then you add a T adaptor which screws into the T ring. You can get a simple one for prime focus or one that holds an eyepi...

Hi all from a quite confused newbie
Very capable camera. Its what I, and quite a few on here use. As to raw v jpeg, its down to personal preference. I have used raw from the start, as it is more versatile (simple example, recovering highlights). I would perhaps use jpeg if I knew in advance that I wanted to shoot a series of images...

Just thought I'd say 'hello'. Been into photography since impulsive buy of (ahem!) Fuji S7000 bridge camera back in 2003, got more serious, and no run a kit based around a K10D (WHO'd want a K5, anyway :mrgreen:), then added an ME-super, which came with the fantastic f1/1.4 50mm SMC lens, and a few ...

Hello From Stoke on Trent.
Decided to pension off the ME super and go digital. The ME replaced a broken Chinon (CE4 if I remember correctly)way back in the '70's. Because I have lenses, the Chinon f1.7,50mm, Chinon f3.9,75-150mm, a Tamron f1.4 28mm(with an adaptall 11) I decided on a Pentax K-x. It came with the DA L 18-55mm ...

Better late than never?
I suppose that I ought to put a note up here, although I have already posted two or three comments! My interest in photography goes back about 70 years, and I bought my first Spotmatic, with the early version of the 50mm f/1.4 lens, when I was on sabbatical in Salt Lake City in 1965. Professional...

About time I said Hello
Hello I did join a while ago about the same time I purchased a 645 NII from eBay since then I have added the 75mmAF and the 150mmAF lenses and a couple of spare backs. The main use of this camera was going to be for Black & White work for an A-Level course. I do like this camera, everything...

Great Community
Hi there I've just bought the K-r kit (+ a second user Pentax 55-300 lens)as a first DSLR and have signed up with the OU for their basic level course to get me started. From hundreds of students doing that course very few seem to have a Pentax, so I'm sure I will be coming back here to ask for a...
