The spoon and fork are what happen when you have some nifty halogen downlighters above the kitchen worktop and think "hmm, good place for close-ups of small items..." :lol: I'll be able to comment on performance after another 26 shots, but in purely tactile terms I have to say I prefer my MX. The...

Print it off , with the and the . I've not had an experience yet but it was at the back of my mind, especially when I sat in Grosvenor Square with my camera and realized I was staring at all the embassies. I refrained.

Use Autofocus and keep your specs on !!! :shock: I do !! :roll: That will be more than a challenge with a manual focus lens :wink: Colin, I would suggest a horizontal split prism focus screen from either Katz Eye optics or focusing screen.com

In my experience my vision with glasses is such that I just have to set the diopter adjustment all the way to the right. I can get close to focus, then the green hexagon helps fine adjustment. I have ordered a new 45 degree split focussing screen, but as it's been the best part of a month I've j...

Can I add my one moan regarding the K10. Why is it not possible and done to show focus confirmation also on the top display or back screen. With close up and macro work, peering through the eye piece whilst twiddling the focus action makes hard work. It is even more frustrating when using a focu...

The problem is that with very close focus you need to be absolutely sure you are focusing on the correct spot. This may or may not coincide with an AF focus point, so manual focus is the norm and focus confirmation would be as bad as using AF. I use MF, focus by eye very carefully and then leave ...

The beep is just an audible version of the green hexagon. I have Pentax Magnifier FB which is very good: although I was lucky enough to get my unused one on ebay for £12! However you only see the central portion of the screen so if you need to focus elsewhere then you just have to carefully do it ...

Perhaps it is my shaky hand. I find that looking through the eye piece and using the focus ring, no matter how carefully I do this when my hand leaves the focus ring there is camera movement. I now have a focus rail that I find eliminmates this movement but I still need to peer into the eyepiece t...
