How do you focus?
AF button / Shutter half-press disabled / user selected point I found that "centre only and recompose" gave me too many OOF shots, especially with the wider lenses, due to the large plane of focus that doesn't like to be moved around on a vertical axis. Since swapping to user-selected focus point...

How do you focus?
for speed I use centre spot focusing and recompose but for some portrait I will use select and for low light I use manual focusing I never use Auto as I like to be in control same for the programs I will all ways use Manual if possible. I found on holiday I use AV but made sure I kept my eye ...

How do you focus?
I hate going under 800 ISO in fact i don't really like going under 560 ISO But I find this all work's for my kind of photography/style James Interesting difference! I never go over ISO 400, and try to stick to 200. Since I have started using Lightroom 3 beta 2 I now occasionally go up to 800...

How do you focus?
I nearly always use camera selected multi-point, and half-shutter press. I tend to move the camera and keep pressing the shutter halfway until one of the points loks where I want it. However, I have to say this does not always seem to work....but it generally seems to, and is easier to use at wide a...

How do you focus?
I tried the user selected multipoint focusing thingy, but it just didn't seem to get it right. So I switched to centre point auto on half press (an hold) Then re-compose and it works better for me. Sometimes I use the AEL button first to get the light right then pick my focal point, then compose. If...

How do you focus?
Now I've bought a KatzEye screen I almost always use manual - otherwise centre point and re-compose if necessary.

How do you focus?
My camera's usually on a tripod for serious work, so I generally selct the appropriate focus point - centre point and recompose just doesn't work on a tripod. ;-) When handholding it's a bit of both. Manual focus mainly for macro work. Dan

How do you focus?
If I'm using the camera, split about 80-20 between selected point and centre point. If I've handed it to someone else, I set it to centre point since that's easiest for compact users.

Some coffee, preferable a good espresso does wonders for me to focus :)

How do you focus?
Most of the time centre point and re-compose. Increasingly MF and now that I have bought a Focusingscreen.com split image screen MF will increase further. :)

The last straw ?
This weeks amateur photographer has a group test of "mid range £500 dslr's" and does not include the KX. Needless to say I put it straight back on the shelf where it belongs! Regards Chris

The last straw ?
I thought that the previous week's old lens supplement was even more bizarre - only one Pentax lens mentioned and that was a Dental Macro. No need to go into the glories and compatabilities here.:roll: I did notice that too,I couldn't believe it!! One lens from Pentax! Probably the best quality, mo...

Farewell to Pentax
It's strange actually .. have seen members leave for Nikon, Canon and even Olympus (waves at Huw) but never Sony. When you consider the money they have spent trying to get their equipment accepted it must be quite annoying to them. :lol::lol::lol: Pentaxians, Nikonians, Olypians, Canonites, Liecan...

Farewell to Pentax
It came as a shock to me that I switched, mainly because I'd been thinking about it for a while but actually made the decision very quickly. I did go full frame - the D700 but full frame really wasn't the biggest issue. I haven't got many lenses at the moment but I'm going to add to them slowly ...

Farewell to Pentax
I take your point about slow autofocus. I have experienced times with the Sigma 100-300 f/4 when it has hunted back and forth through the full focus range and failed to lock on to anything. I have too become interested in birding and would like to get photos of birds in flight. For birds at rest,...

Farewell to Pentax
I've done the same. I've sold all my Pentax kit and spent about £7K on Nikon, based around the D700. The reasons: 1. A far superior sensor with performance at 1600iso roughly equal to the K-7 at 200iso. I didn't take anyone's word for this but went to where they test such things. 2. Much be...
