Question about new Pentax rumour.
Yesterday, I read something on the board regarding a new Pentax being launched. Did this new camera turn out to be the K-7 or was the rumour started after the K-7 graced us with its presence? I had heard that the K-7 was to be the K-1D and have 18.6MP with a full frame C-MOS sensor. The rumour I had...

Question about new Pentax rumour.
Any news what Kodak sensor they will use Amin, the KAF-31600, the KAF-39000 or the new KAF-50100? Don't ask me how I know it will be a Kodak I'll have to kill you too :wink: Also the lens for the 645D are on the roadmap so it isn't that surprising the 645D will come, it will be a Japanese export...

Question about new Pentax rumour.
Thank you Amin, would be interesting to know what the MP of the sensor would be. They are all CCD btw so no CMOS for the 645D if the rumour is right. If the camera would come out for the right price it might become quite an interesting camera certainly because the older 645 lenses are relatively ...

Question about new Pentax rumour.
If it is a third of that then I may have a fighting chance of owning one after all, however, if it's using the same sensor as the Leica I can't see how they'll be able to shave *that* much off the price. :? I'll be happy to be proved wrong in this instance though. :wink:

Airshow question
The SR doesn't add blur. Indeed. I think this is another one of these unsubstantiated myths that are entirely without foundation, and would be almost impossible to test. Imagine a camera that was moving at constant speed in a straight line. The accelerometers that measure shake (in order to tel...

Hoya to seek digital camera alliance
At first it may seem way off base, but I think Ricoh would be a great choice. They are a large company who are happy to have a small very specialist niche division producing some of the finest compacts available. Being able to add a similar DSLR marque with a similar philosophy to the division would...

RicTax sounds like rictus, not so good! :shock: I doubt that an alliance would mean any branding changes, it would just be a working technology partnership with each company. I think that's what Suzuki really meant. I think everyone is reading too much into his statement. Like Pentax, the Rico...

Sticky Shutter button on my K20D
Being serious I think I'd try some of the eclipse lens cleaning fluid I have. Just a drop or so to try and flush out the goo. Drip in and then vigorous blow out. I would be concerned that any real alcohol etc. might affect the weather seal. If I wasn't then I have some Hammerite thinner I use as ...

Sticky Shutter button on my K20D
Is it a full moon tonight? You are truly a child of the modern age. Your impurities are my flavour. G When they're in a drink, they are flavours. When they are in cleaning fluid...:roll:

SH K20D
I have yet to hear of a shutter or sensor failing on a Pentax DSLR. Canon, yes. But not Pentax. G

SH K20D
It's not the shutter or sensor life I'd be concerned about when buying second hand, but more how careless the previous owner had been when cleaning the sensor, or whatever else they might have done. Unseen damage can be a problem - for example, the heavy handed user who decides to clean the mirror.....

A Request for K20 owners that use Photome
John I will be contacting them for sure if my 2 month old K20 comes back from them again not fixed. I had a dark line show up on images after only 140 shots I would have said faulty sensor it was return to supplier who sent it for repair it was returned to me 10 Days later and the first shot had...

Use of old lenses on Pentax Km
I have just bought a new Pentax Km, which came with the 18-55mm lens. I still have my old P30t which has 2 lenses, a Pentax A 28-80mm and a Pentax A 70-200mm. I would like to be able to use these lenses with the Km, and have searched the forum and Bojidar Dimitrov's site. From what I have read I c...

Use of old lenses on Pentax Km
As I understand it the "A" lenses will work provided I leave the aperature set to Auto on the lens aperature ring. Clearly focus will be a manual operation! Because the sensor is APS-C sized the effective focal length of the lenses (which were designed for 35mm film) will become 42-120 and 105-300, ...

Battery problems with Ist DL2
I have this problem, but cleaning the contacts helps. Also, for some strange reason, when I continue to use batteries which are showing as half full, after a few shots, they then show as full. I've just learnt to live with it, and keep a spare set to hand:wink:

Battery problems with Ist DL2
I'm still having this problem with my DL2. It doesn't matter what type of batteries I use, whether they be rechargable or Energizer Ultimate Lithium. I've even tried cleaning the contacts and using a graphite pencil on them, but I still get only 2 or 3 shots before the camera tells me that the bat...
