broken lens
OK, Brian ... Just what do you mean by "wont focus properly"? Front or back focus? No autofocus? Won't work outdoors in daylight? Your description is not really helpful when it comes to identifying the fault - if there really is a fault. You don't even say, in this post, which camera. A camera...

broken lens
Brian There is probably a simple explanation as Jeff suggests, to elaborate a bit more, Using the camera indoors in Av mode the camera would possibly have set a shutter speed which did run into a number of seconds, it sounds like the "freeze" as you put it was nothing more than the mirror flippin...

Users of JJC straps beware!
A while back I bought a JJC shoulder strap (the sort that's like a Black Rapid or Sun Sniper) where the camera is attached via the tripod mount. I liked it so much that I bought another one, so now one is on the K5 and one on the K7. It can stay on the body even on a tripod, but today I took it ...

Ricoh buyout
I think I'm missing the point and can't see anything to back up the claims. A mention of Pentax Carl Zeiss from 1976 doesn't fill me with confidence that Specsavers in Falmouth will be fitting a Nikon/Rodenstock/Zeiss lens and calling it a Pentax! Got anything from the last 5 years? I'l...

Time for change
Yes! I took a picture the day after the clocks went back, and noticed that the time on it was wrong. I'd actually assumed that it would do it automatically, like Windows, but I guess that's a bit much to expect. I'd like to sound smug, but I also noticed that I'd set the date wrong originally...

Photography in public places
This is getting to be a more common problem. There was quite a spat about some poor chap taking photos in a shopping centre a few weeks back. To be honest I think you did the sensible thing. You were right and he was wrong, but sadly people in mundane jobs sometimes over-inflate their own importa...

Photography in public places
Just to update you, I have had an email back from City of Lincoln Council, basically they say there is no policy on photography from their carparks. However the email says that apart from carparking; "Any other uses for car parks are normally subject to the granting of a licence, examples we have u...

The public have access to my front door through the garden gate, that doesn't make my garden public property... . And in any case, should the council wish the photographer to leave they would need to contact the police - they would not be allowed to make the photographer leave in any other way. ...

We got rid of our East wing, it just took too long to walk the 1/2 mile to reach the bell to ring for the maid. Plus the jogging back and forth to the cellar killed the butler. Regards David

We've been here 10 years and, only yesterday, my daughter pulled an old book from a library shelf and a door in the panelling swung open. Seriously, we do have the mystery of why the level of the back garden has been raised by six feet perhaps burying a cellar under the stables. The end of the...

Well done to you and your gang, that's quite a bit of money you've raised, give yourselves a pat on the back. :D:D

Pentax O-ME53 Viewfinder or Pentax Magnifier fb
I bought a Tenpa 1.36x magnifier from an ebay seller early this year, primarily for macro use as I usually use manual focus. It's not been off the camera since. I also keep the rubber eyecup on as it's handy for cutting out side glare or wind when trying to frame and focus.

Pentax O-ME53 Viewfinder or Pentax Magnifier fb
There is a replacement eyepiece for the KPS on ebay but it's flat rubber not cupped.... not quite as good, but worth getting if you lose the original That looks much better than the cupped eyepiece that comes with the KPS. How about you buy one of those for me and you can have my original. :D ...

Yet another thread shut down with no reason given.
Constant sniping does not help anyone, the thread was goig round in circles and the same points being reiterated over again. This does no-one any favours, so go back and read it and you'll see why it was eventually closed. It's time we stopped wasting time talking inwardly about how things are de...

I am really fed up with advertisements
As for lack of Pentax advertising, they have just been taken over by Ricoh so i am guessing marketing budgets & planning needs to be discussed with the new owners. A marketing campaign doesn't just happen overnight. Pentax has recently carved out itself a niche market in outside pursuit type phot...
