SENSOR
It may come as no surprise that when I do eventually have to clean the sensor, it will be the Pentax kit I will be buying. 8) Really? :lol: Dan We're all flabbergasted. G

SENSOR
I've got the pentax kit. It took a little getting used to. The sensor was filthy, and it cleaned up a treat. Coupled with a rocket blower, you won't need anything else. HTGH Cheers Liam

Another hello (on the fence)
Pentax designed the Limited lenses to be better than anything else. They are superbly constructed and are amongst the best lenses ever made. Really, only some Zeiss and Leitz lenses can be compared with them. There are two varieties of Limited lenses. The original three were designed during th...

Only a slight concern
So the other day i was cleaning some debris from my k10 and noticed the rubber grip near the SD compartment was a bit loose. It sort of peeled up a bit not disastrously but with time it will definetly nullify the 'weather sealed' feature, maybe it truely isnt now. anyone have any suggestions? Call P...

S-mount lenses on K10D
yes, I use my screw lenses with the adapter. I pinch in the spring thing with a thumb nail. You must take notice to hold the camera so the mount points downwards as John Riley has said then horrible bits don't fall onto the sensor- so far I haven't found any marks on mine. I used a 135mm F2.5 SMC Ta...

How much data is hiddenin RAW??
I was browsing through my photo collection and found one that my other half took with her S20Pro. When the Super CCD SR goes wrong it goes horribly wrong. This particular image has green clipping so bad that when you reduce the exposure parts of the image 'glow' 100% green. Looks really odd, gives t...

How much data is hiddenin RAW??
Highlights on the K10 seem to clip very suddenly. As with high def video I always protect the highlights and then with Raw the K10 is superb for bringing out details in the shadows. Or so I have found so far. Yeah, it is the opposite when I shoot with the S20. I have to get the shadow details and...

Pentax press conference 23/8
dp review forums have had some discussion, some lively ones, about today's announcement.... Maybe a 12 MP K12D, or an improved K10D Super, or the mythical K1D.... Given that Sony haven't announced the A100 update, then I guess the D3 and D300 will fly the flag for 12MP alternatives to the 5D :...

Pentax press conference 23/8
Why does it have to be a 12 MP sensor? I'm waiting for K11D with the 11MP sensor! It's just like 10MP but its one louder... :twisted:

Leaving shake reduction on
Hi all. I've just sold my olympus SLR stuff as I wanted to have shake reduction, sensor cleaning, water resistence, and a bigger independent lens selection. Anyway I got a K10D with power grip, and a tamron 18-250. I'm still getting used to it, but I keep leaving the shake reduction on by ac...

Leaving shake reduction on
I just saw this thread end remembered that my K10D has SR and is not recommended for use on a tripod. I have been shooting some macro shots that require perfect focus and a still sensor. Well I know what was wrong now, I left SR on when mounted to the tripod!

Pentax K100D and non-pentax flash
Hi everyone, newbie here! I'm hoping someone can clarify this for me... I'm slowly familiarising myself with the K100D - bought a few weeks ago. I have an old flash gun, a Sunpak auto 124, which is 20+ years old that I would like to use until such time as I can afford a dedicated gun. The manu...

Pentax K100D and non-pentax flash
The main question will be what the trigger voltage of the flash is because if it's too high it might damage the camera. It sounds like the flash has an auto setting (i.e. where you set the lens to a certain aperture manually and the flash uses its own sensor to measure the light required) and if ...

Leaning pic's with the K10D
I have taken one or two shots where I did wonder if the sensor wasn't square, and thought perhaps there are occasions when the sensor doesn't sit 'square' after its been moved by the Shake Reduction? Andy

Leaning pic's with the K10D
I figured there would be a couple of you guys who had the same issue. SR on or off, this is how it works for me : If I place the camera on a flat surface, like a table, looking in the V/F at something that lines up, like a window, then the window looks to be leaning to the left in the V/F....

Leaning pic's with the K10D
Leaning? I think it is the SR as it varies. Can be corrected easily later on though so it is not too bad. Still a bit annoying though. Mine is not varying. Iīts constantly off. And itīnot the sensor thatīs off. Itīs the veiwfinder image. Please see my first post as well as my second. // Ma...

What list? Please elucidate. G Hahaha What took you so long George? Yes, I wondered if I should have included that last sentence. Maybe just take out the "growing list" statement. The "list" is not really available for public circulation as it my own personal list as to ...

Leaning pic's with the K10D
So far I have down, banding, flawed exposures with M lenses, totally ineffective sensor cleaning, and not compatible with TTL flash (my problem) to name some. There also seems to me an inordinate amount of physical problems cropping up with individuals posting here so I'm wondering if maybe there co...
