How Likely am i to get dust on my sensor?
If I ever feel concerned about dust on the sensor I remember how many dust spots used to cover my negatives, and all the concern evaporates instantly.

Excellent Replys - certainly food for thought - im taking note of the "dont get obsessed" part as once you enter that route its a rocky route!!

How Likely am i to get dust on my sensor?
I don't understand why small apertures make dust on the sensor more visible. Please can someone enlighten me? The blob you see on the image is a shadow from the speck of dust. In fact the sensor is covered with a filter, which places any particles on top some distance from the actual sensor. The...

Better still, don't test at all and only clean your sensor if a dark speck or blob shows up on one of your normal photos. Agreed, to an extent, but finding you have a massive dust fleck on your sensor AFTER you shoot a wedding (or insert suitable non-repeatable photo op here) is not very helpful. ...

Advice please!
Well, start making a list... what features does th K10D have that the DL2 does not? Do you "need" them? Mainly, - Higher Pixel count? eh, maybe enough to make a difference. But possibly not. - Water/dust resistant? Very nice, if you are in situations where it matters. (although...

Setting SR on manual focus A zoom lens.
This is how I think about it, I'm sure I will get shot down in flames if I'm wrong... If we use a wide angle lens with say a 100 degree field of view then move the camera 1 degree during the exposure then the sensor will need to move 1/100 of its size to compensate. If we use a telephoto lens wi...

K10D focusing screen cleaning
been out all day with my new k10 at an equine event - it was quite dusty at times and i noticed a few specs have got in to the interchangeable focusing screen(didnt take lens off out in the open either) - using a cleaning cloth just made it worse so eventually i just blew most of it off - just a cou...

K10D focusing screen cleaning
The first thing is never to use a cleaning cloth on the soft and vulnerable focusing screen.... As far as cloths for cleaning lenses and the camera in general go then the one of choice has to be the Pentax Microfibre Cloth. No bits come off that and it causes no damage. But definitely don't us...

K10D focusing screen cleaning
Lesson has been learned (the focusing screen is now smudgy)- at least the focusing screens are only £29 a pop and i have not even looked at the sensor yet so thats safe. (just ordered a replacement screen and an image sensor cleaning kit from SRS) I will just use a gentle blower (without brush) from...

K10D focusing screen cleaning
Blowing doesn't always remove everything. The Arctic Butterfly static-charge brush is good for cleaning focusing screens as well as sensors. You can just lightly pass it over.

K10D focusing screen cleaning
To John Riley A good place to get pentax microfibre cloths if you say pretty please is Specsavers as they use pentax lenses as standard and give away free cloths when you get new specs. If you get your specs there they will normally give you a couple or so spares if you ask nicely. CHEERS Vic

My Pentax K10D arrived :D
I still can't believe it, it's here :D. I can't wait to go out and take some pictures (hopefully the rain will stop soon). It feels great in my hands, quite a difference from my old Fuji S6500. Took a few test shots inside, here's one with Fluffy ( good model, isn't it? ). edit - exif data: ...

K20D EDR feature
It works in raw too - I've used it a few times. It definitely seems to help with saving blown highlights, but adds a bit too much noise in dark areas for me. It cannot be applied in post-processing as it manipulates the way the image is processed at the sensor - apparently. I can't explain why th...

K20D EDR feature
you dont need hdr you need a k10 and some hdr software check this out!!!! ;) http://www.redbubble.com/people/duroo/art Even the K10 is not needed. ANY camera which allows some control over the exposure will do. The K20 has the nice feature of a expanded dynamic range AT the sensor.
