Pentax legacy lens would have more appeal , if manual focussing was easier.

[quote:3496ace15f="andrewk"]I had a split image focussing screen from focusingscreen.com (similar to the Katzeye screens but a bit cheaper) fitted to my Pentax K200D. It was not more accurate than focussing by eye and using using focus confirmation, just a bit quicker. A big downside is that i...

Pentax make a focus screen specifically for the k-s1 as they do for the k30 and other bodies , which i am interested in and Assume to some degree that improved results are obtained for manual focussing ,when using manual lens and when compared to "third party screens". I wasn't aware that Pentax m...

RICOH-IMAGING.CO.UK /viewfinders/accessories....... I think you might have meant this page: http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.uk/en/viewfinder-focusing-screen.html Although those are all replacement focussing screens, none of them look like split image screens to me. Katzeye optics ( http://w...

Ive used a split image screen exactly like Andrew describes above and had the same experience. I think it's the actual split part that affects the metering so any make split screen would have the same effect. I would not bother with one of these screens again either. I use my M50 1.7 (and several o...

If you haven't tried live view for manual focus work then please go and give it a go. In Live view, you can press the OK button in the middle of the four way controller, and you will zoom digitally into the image. You can steer the zoomed point around the screen, and using the scroll wheel move fu...

Focussing scales have never appealed to me. They're present on the better lenses, but I personally don't use them. I see one new lens came out recently with a digital focussing scale on it... When my Aperture motor failed, I became acutely aware at how few modern lenses have a dedicated apertur...

I use a magnifying view finder adaptor on my K30 for manual focusing and the focus confirmation light and it is usually spot on Also focus peaking for close up work. I did replace the screen in a K110D with a split screen from china but found I had to remove the shims as the new screen was thicke...

BTCC @ Silverstone this weekend - anyone going ?
I'm taking the scenic option this weekend, George - a hillclimb at Loton Park (quite close to Oulton Park, oddly) on Saturday and then either vintage or historic racing (Snetterton/Brands Hatch respectively) on Sunday. Haven't posted too many motorsport pics of late as I have been running my Pentax ...

BTCC @ Silverstone this weekend - anyone going ?
The Mallory park meeting sounds good, will need to check to see if I'm free that weekend. Went to Mallory for the Triumph Live event a few years back, nice track / feel to the whole place. Will have to go to one of these hill climb events one day, look good opportunities for photos. Interest...

HCB was a great, no-nonsense photojournalist, one of his books has some shots with the film perforations running across the photos ('Lomo' style), quite how he manged it I don't know. That said, apart from the shot of the guy jumping over the puddle mirroring the circus advert behind him, most that ...

Henri Cartier-Bresson
Colour photography has actually been around a long time before 1938. My favourite early colour process is Autochrome, which was flourishing very nicely in the early 1900s. Colour goes back a long way even before that.

How did I miss these?
This morning I popped in the Home page to see which picture had won Photo of the Week. Its an absolute stunner by VonBatKat and it was the first time I'd seen it. Paul Jay had posted a comment to ask how it was no one else had added a comment. I trawled back through the week's gallery entries and f...

Useful site for astrophotography
Sadly, living in the Netherlands the chances of dark skies are almost nil. Even out on the islands there is just a lot of light pollution. Clear skies are rare enough too. I enjoyed my first attempts at astro last year in California, They weren't great but I learned a lot. Since another trip out ...
