A fairly decent 4K video camera as I'm getting back into doing some video. "It's really for Mrs K10D" as the grandsons coming over from Germany soon. But I may borrow it lots after he goes back.......

Is your S5 primarily for stills or video? Best regards I've never really done video but most of the reviews of this camera focus on it because it's the best there is in it's class, so having seen what it can do I imagine I'll have a play around with video too.

Just purchased a Pentax-D FA 15-30mm f/2.8. Sold mine a while back and never really gave it a chance so hopefully I will this time. Still have a couple of filters and a holder for it somewhere I think. Got a few more lenses to sell and looking for a 70-200mm f/2.8 or maybe the 70-210mm then I'm d...

I bought a cheap FAJ 75-300mm online as I don't have anything decent longer than 105mm these days in KAF mount and I thought I'd give it a go. When it arrived the (plastic) mount had been smashed, most likely in a nasty camera fall. It couldn't even be mounted on a camera! Even Cash Converters mu...

It's an acquisition, but a gizmo cobbled together from bits and pieces rather than a purchase. Here's the story... Having recently got a Laowa 25mm 2.5 - 5x macro lens, it was now necessary to be able to move the camera in 50 micron (0.05mm) steps for focus stacks in order to take full advantage ...

Thanks. I'd like to say that the shadow on the protractor works perfectly, but during a try out yesterday a problem emerged. Nothing wrong with the shadow, it's my eyesight that needs fixing - you need to be close to the protractor be able to read the fine detail but my glasses are set for normal re...

My latest acquisition is this thread!!! (Found it, Steve!) Well, that's beautifully assembled from the initial inspiration, thanks for the mention(!).. Vis-a-vis the protractor... mine comes from Blocklayer, still, but now I draw it with a larger radius to the circle, 100mm., but print ...

A cheap (£45) semi-automatic CZJ Biotar 58mm f/2 which upon arrival looked to have balsam separation. Likely going back unfortunately. My second purchase is my old FA* 85. I couldn't turn down the chance to buy it back. I think I replaced the AF gear on this one before I sold it the first time so...

Well it took two months to arrive due to the lens being on back order, but given the bargain it was I don't mind. The lens is the first 1x macro I have ever owned, so bugs in the garden had better watch out.

A Pentax Bellows A. Just for fun, of course. The bellows had its (their?) first outing today. The Laowa 25mm x2.5-5 macro was attached at full 5x magnification and f4. The aim was to see how far the lens could be pushed with bellows and to find out where there might be problems with my current ...

Try mounting the subject on a focus slider (that is mounted on a second tripod) and use the slider to move the subject incrementally toward/ away from the fixed position lens. It really cuts down on the apparent uncontrolled movement. This is a stout, robust 'B.P.M.' one, often for sale on E bay. ...

Thanks. I'm not sure yet what the cause of slight wobble is, but I should have pointed out that it's an indoor, desk-mounted macro rig. There's a board clamped to the desk and everything clamped to either the board or the edge of the desk. So not a tripod in sight (and no room for one, either). The ...

Certainly feels good in the hand and the camera seems to be functioning as it should but I had issues with the lens aperture. I called West Yorkshire Cameras where I bought it and they were great. They're going to fix the sluggish aperture and also the funky focusing as it's not very smooth and retu...

I've ordered a preset Takumar 300mm f/6.3 but won't get my hands on it until I'm back in the UK in May. I've never owned a lens that long so looking forward to seeing how it performs.

Last week I got a K-x with 17.5K shots on it with a manual focus version of the Sigma Super-Wide 24mm f/2.8 on it for under €50, with the intention of selling off my AF version of the same lens, which I never use. The MF copy seems fine except for the aperture ring, which has a very gritty feel to ...

A K3 iii. Yeah, the resolve not to get one because my K3 is good enough for what I do was fatally weakened when I realised that having a two cameras with similar capabilities but different lenses attached (macro and long tele) would avoid hasty lens changes when looking for flowers, bugs and bir...

A Pentax LX film camera. Hankered after one for a while and after having various M series ones break (the last MX didn't fare well in Arctic Norway in November) i took the plunge when Jonathan had one for sale on the forum. Shot two rolls of Kentmere 100 on a walk by the river, one in Auto mod...
