A2 prints fromK7 vs K10D
Alan, 645D would of course be perfect for you, weathersealed, 645 format CCD sensor with 40 megapixels. Can it get any better? You could think about printing A1 size instead :mrgreen:

Suggestions ...
He had initially considered just Nikon and Canon but I suggested he look at others including Pentax. He has now come round to the view that there are other good brands around and has been out to see what else. I take it he's been into Jessops and talked to the 'experts'? With that much money to p...

Where can I get an OEM K-m focussing screen?
There won't be - the sensor doesn't look through the screen. In an SLR the image from the lens is reflected up onto the focusing screen by the mirror, this flips up out of the way when you take a photo. For the same reason I won't be too worried about a minute dust speck when I swap mine back, altho...

Where can I get an OEM K-m focussing screen?
Hopefully gonna get a shop to give it a blast with something at the weekend. If that could clear a bit of it that would be good. Oh how I could live with that small mark that was there originally! @Dangermouse - how much did the OEM K-x cost and where from if you don't mind me asking? Maybe an op...

@Dangermouse - how much did the OEM K-x cost and where from if you don't mind me asking? Maybe an option if cleaning does not do a nice enough job? The KatzEye sound good but pretty expensive. An option though. They also seems to be pretty good and almost half the price

Pentax K-x Digital Camera
I like a native light and the Pentax K-x allows me to take some pictures with it. I think that this camera has the best sensor in the Pentax K product line. What a pity, Pentax reduced some interest and important functions and connectors, which donīt have a major effect in the factory price ... Didn...

Differences between Ist D and later 6MP cameras (for IR conversion)?
Hope someone can help here. Thinking about getting an older 6MP body converted for infrared photography, rather than using R72 filter as I do currently. The main people recommended in the UK who I have heard of - Advanced Camera Systems - say that they will do the conversion on the ist D but a...

Differences between Ist D and later 6MP cameras (for IR conversion)?
The sensor in all of the 6Mp cameras is the same CCD, Sony I think. Whether the mounting is the same across models I don't know. AFAIK there are a couple of conversions that can be done for better IR performance. You can either replace the filter that is placed in front of the sensor with plai...

Differences between Ist D and later 6MP cameras (for IR conversion)?
Thanks both. I already use an R72 filter with K100DS, but shutter speeds inevitably get below hand-hold level unless you whack the ISO up. So I'm thinking of replacing the filter in front of the sensor with R72 as the camera will then function as Peter has described. I can't see why a compa...

Pentax won't rule out mirrorless cameras.
A mirrorless camera wouldn't be a bad thing - it seems as though that's the "hot" area of the market these days and Sony look set to launch two in the near future with an APS-C sensor (like the Samsung). I just hope that Pentax don't cripple it by sticking with the K-mount. By all means bring out...

Pentax won't rule out mirrorless cameras.
If I was buying one of these evil cameras, my priority would be value. It should be cheaper than a true DSLR. Second in my mind would be IQ which should be the best available for the price. Third would be lens choice. Size would be my last consideration - as long as it was more compact than the smal...

M42
I love using my M42 lenses but I have odd tastes! Matter of fact just had a great morning with an ancient 35mm Hanimex. Not sure how much cleaning would cost...my guess would be, a lot! Best wishes, Andrew

M42
If they're just grubby on the outside then don't bother with a professional cleaner. I use cotton buds and screen cleaning spray to get dirt/dust off followed by a lens pen to clean the glass. Many of the Takumar designs were adapted by Pentax to become the first K mount lenses, of which I have ...

K7 and Kx at up to 800 ISO
Many here with a k20D or K7 (same sensor) say they shoot up to 1600 ISO quite comfortably with their camera, so it should be able to give acceptable results for what you are looking for. Still like Bret says the K-X is better at high iso and the camera will do you fine for low ISO as well. I woul...

Maybe... But I would have thought another sony sensor would be more likely. Who knows!

The next >K7 spec sensor?
I didn't think they were going to be using Samsung sensors on future models. Is that the sensor off the NX10 detailed above?
