Last week, having promised the wife that I would buy NO MORE LENS, walking past charity shop, hello I thought, Pentax F 28-80, needs cleaning, £10...........well, I had to didn't i, well I know it's not highly rated, but come on £10. Be a shame not to. Got it home, the cleaning was all external dust...

Bought a KP from eBay. Superb price but it arrived with a horrible problem where it refuses to AF in viewfinder mode. There are marks in the mirror box suggesting someone might have tampered with the AF lens or maybe tried to jam the wrong mount in there, otherwise the camera is spotless. Live vi...

I bought an 18-135 with faulty autofocus for £50. It was a bit of a gamble but after disassembling the back of the lens it looked as though the clutch mechanism was a bit sticky. A bit of grease there, a bit of a wipe here and it's focusing perfectly! (The only issue is that it sounds like a cros...

I sold the K-3 premium silver edition I got a bit ago with the premium grip. I thought it was a good deal.. until it fell through today. Apparently the unused grip that I scanned over (looked mint) and kept in the box was a D-BG8 model from the new K3iii, not the D-BG5 that the buyer wanted. S...

Used Pentax 18-135mm. Gifted my previous one to my dad for his K70. Now a practically permanent feature on my K-5 as a quick and dirty 'backup' camera or as a light travel setup for my K-3iii. It may not be the sharpest lens but it is great for day to day and travel, especially if you know and un...

My Samyang 12mm Fuji X Mount will be going up for sale as I may have purchased off ebay a Pk mount Sigma EX DG 20mm f1.8. I saw that, thought about it for a bit but the comments on Pentaxforums weren't very encouraging Yeah the reviews said wide open it was poor but stopped down it's okay and AF mot...

I really don't understand why people don't use rear/top glass protectors..... Even the cameras with touch screens work just as well with them on. Possibly because, sometimes, you can't actually get the one (or at least a good version) you need. e.g, when I bought the K-3 in 2014 I was able to ge...

Real shot in the dark, I am trying to source a pentax-rh-b 70mm lens hood for Pentax-A 35-105 lens. Anyone got one lurking in the back of the shed please pm me. Regards John.

So, is the bargain K-1 useable HarisF1? If it is, that's a real bargain for £370. Also, how many shutter clicks has it had? So far it's been perfect. Definitely worth the money. I'll have to be careful to avoid using heavier tele lenses on it but that's all really. I'll report back when I've che...

@Steve - Since getting a Manfrotto geared head I will never go back to ball head. Once you get the hang of it it's quicker to use as well as being accurate and firm.

Barrie. I've never had a problem with it. Likewise the Meyer 135 that has a near identical fitting. I've used both for years and never had a problem. I just put one of my 200mm Meyers on the K5 for you and shot a view across the study lit by a very bright desk lamp. It's high ISO too so any leakag...
