Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
I've just discovered that the iris in my 200mm SMC Takumar has stuck. It was only bought in 1977; should I send it back to Pentax and demand a new Pentax smc DA* 200mm f2.8 ED(IF) SDM Lens? That, and a much loved and well used 645 that needed a new main board after about twenty years are the only...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
I had a sensor stain on the K5- it took me 2 months to notice it. It wasnt the end of the world, I took the faulty K5 to Rome and got some good pictures- then I had it replaced when I got back no questions asked. I agree with those who say it isnt about the problem but how it is dealt with. Ju...

My K-5 is an early one with staining. But do you know what? In real use it does not have an effect at all. Two reasons I have not sent it back 1 - I use it all the time, so no time to to send it back 2 - It does not have an effect. However I does succome to dust more than my K20D. But I have ...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
The only other Pentax problem I have, is my 50-135 is a bit reluctant to AF if not used for a while (typical SDM), but I get around it - ie put it on the camera and coerce it to work, then it is fine. I had the same issue with my 50-135, it was a slow downward spiral to less reliable focus, finally ...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
After reading some of these I realise I've been really lucky :shock: If I was without a camera for 4 months I would have sold up and moved elsewhere regardless of how much I liked my GX20; DrOrloff has a lot more patience than me! My only issue is that occasionally my 100mm DFA macro doesn't f...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
I have a K-5, a K-x and a K-m and have had no issues at all with any of them, apart from the K-x needed a hacked autofocus adjustment of +230!!! Yes, it was that far out on autofocus, whereas the K-5 and K-m are absolutely spot-on. K-5 level is accurate, no lock-ups, no staining, nothing wrong a...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
I have a K10D & K5 & both perform better than I do. The only issue I can complain about is that occasionally the AF goes out to infinity & back before settling. This happens with the kit 18-55mm; Tamron 90/2.8; and Sigma 70-300/4-5.6 (the only AF lenses I have). This applies to both cameras and w...

Pentax woes, tell us about yours.
My 18-135WR lens came back from its warranty repair. It got a new DC motor and a new PCB. It came back the day after I left for a 3 week holiday which forced me to use other lenses. I did 7 cities using a different lens (out of 4) each day. I've still to decide my favorite but at first glance I ...

Firefox 8 out
Possibly huge numbers going back to previous versions. I went back to v3.6ish on one PC and I'm on v2 on this one, because Fasterfox still runs on it and shows things like how long a page is taking to load etc. This page took 0.440secs:shock: I hate change just for the sake of change.

Actually am impressed with the focus - as to what it says to me re being a woman in modern times - nothing changes much! Except the ceilings are no longer glass but plexi! Clare:D

Anyone live near Preston/Blackpool who can help?
I'm having a problem with my 2 week old K-R (purchased body only). With the 18-55 DAL I got with my K-X in Nov 2010 it will take 3-4 pictures before keeping the shutter open for 2-3 secs while exposing and after that it starts flipping the mirror everytime any button is pressed. If I take the lens o...

What is allowed in general chat?
A funny thought occurs to me... We can have a thread about a Golf thread... but not a Golf thread. Well it made me laugh, anyway. Just goes to show, yet again, how inconsistent the moderation is, the golf thread was closed as not Pentax or photography related, yet others over the last couple o...
