I'm on a roll ..... for all the wrong reasons :(
Well foot out of plaster and now in a walking boot. Still need to use the crutches to get around but a step in the right direction and I can now bathe! Bought a load of studio lighting on the weekend to cheer myself up for when I'm back on my feet. PS - Rim and coke were purely medicinal :twi...

I'm on a roll ..... for all the wrong reasons :(
Took my foot out of the walking boot last night for a bath. Just over a week on and it's still uber swollen and mainly yellow with a lovely purple bruise that runs along my foot from my toes, around my ankle and to the inside. Tell you what, having a bath felt great, I'm human again :lol: UPS upd...

Doesn't sound like they've heard of Customer Service, more fans of Basil Fawlty's style...... Still, at least you now actually have it. Hope the foot is back to normal very soon!

K-1 Mk II
Not sure where this is going. The new top end Nikon and Canon have 20mp sensors for enhanced low light operation; I guess high mp sensors are best for sports and action as long as the frame rate can be maintained, but this isn't the area targeted by Pentax as evidenced by focus speed and the lens r...

K-1 Mk II
I thought that high MP cameras would be good for sport / action because you can crop more, allowing more freedom in framing .... ? H'mmm. we're suddenly into sports action cameras? Pentax don't do them. I'm not aware of pro's using D810's or K-1's for sports action but I may be wrong. Conside...

Photographic "BOOT SALES"???
Thanks John. Just a bit of nostalgia. The one at Wolverhampton race course was always quite a big one. It used to be a bit of fun and I picked up a couple of things. (As I said back in the day) How did you get the info? I know "GOOGLE" CHEERS Vic.

Photographic "BOOT SALES"???
Hi, I've bought from Keith Rock in the past. This is the page I have saved in my bookmarks for lenses and accessories that i browse from time to time. http://www.rockycameras.com/pentax-21-c.asp The Pentax FILM camera bodies are listed on their own http://www.rockycameras.com/pentax--k-fit-bodies...

How much TLC do you give your batteries?
I've got 1 Pentax original, 1 Maximafoto and two Energiser which go straight into the charger on exchange for a fresh one out of rotation storage in my desk drawer (freshly charged to the back of the line up). None has ever given any problem on the K5. Now I have the K3 I got a new battery with it w...

Back button focusing
This is my preferred option for wildlife, with the focus action on the shutter button disabled. If I have one criticism it is that the back button on Pentax is a bit small, but with the FA150-450 lens the lens-mounted focus buttons are favourite. However I have found a snag (isn't there always one?)...

Just a touch on the shutter release button wakes the body. I always use two bodies, you just get into the habit of touching the shutter release button to make them ready. John

You can set the time for auto power off in the menu, and there is the option to turn it off completely. Would this do away with the need to activate the body via the shutter button? Cheers SimonJust a touch on the shutter release button wakes the body. I always use two bodies, you just get in...

Back button focusing
It should do but with all the electronics now running constantly, there would be extra battery drain. There is also the need to keep the processor cool and cameras don't have cooling fans! I agree about the annoyance: you wait ages for an insect to move to the right place and ........... the blasted...

Back button focusing
I've always used back button focussing and would never revert to the shutter button now. The back button just offers so much more control and flexibility, especially when you need to hit the shutter button at the right moment to get the shot, without worrying about what the AF is doing. I find thi...

Back button focusing
I'm also a back button user, used this way for years now. So much better, who cares what the AF is doing, when I want to take the picture there is no delay. Options for camera going to sleep either are periodical pressing the AF button slightly to awaken the camera or change the settings in the ...

"I have changed mine to 5 minutes before sleep" I've been thinking about doing this. How much impact does it have on the battery?

Our cameras don't sleep until 30 minutes is up. The battery life isn't a problem.

As John says, battery life isn't affected, camera in standby doesn't use a lot of power :wink:

Why is there so many K3 for sale
Probably my angle on it is well known around here, and of course I like to play a little of the devils advocate ... :evil: ... Bit I do truly believe what I'm saying. I see a camera as an image capture device and the sensor is only a part of that. Specifically, I place great value on many tradit...
