HELP!
Thank's to all, I believe it could well be dial stuck between two settings, as suggested by bforbes but cleaning of contacts also a distinct poss, as suggested by most of you. The lens in question is my sigma 17-70. Thank you all, you have been very helpful AGAIN:D:D Regards to all, Larr...

Changing from Analogue to Digital
Your flash might not work in auto mode on the newer DSLR, unless it also support P-TTL. Yves, Auto mode is something different then TTL or P-TTL. TTL use the metering of the camera but Auto use a light sensitive sensor in the flash and use the information about aperture and ISO to calculate the r...

Wheres the KLUNK?
I seem to have lost the KLUNK I had when I turned my K10D on. When I switch this K-7 on I get nothing at all even though I have sensor cleaning on at startup. I miss my KLUNK :(

Wheres the KLUNK?
My K-m buzzes when switched on, but has never simply gone "KLUNK". I'm not worried as it did that when I first set the sensor cleaning option in July 2009 and it doesn't appear to have changed in tone or duration. It's quite good for scaring compact owners when they turn the camera on and it shud...

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
If you want this for the proverbial lens protection properties there are many threads on the subject with argument for and against, if you want it to cut down on UV then your wasting your time, your sensor already has one. Either way you need to buy the most expensive you can afford, cheap ones w...

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
What you might want to do is take and ND grad for sunsets. Cheap Cokin P type mount off ebay, and something like a KOOD pro shouldn't break the bank but provide new functionalities. Dust protection is really the only use I can see for another filter. The rocket blower should take care of most du...

170-500mm Filter for Safari?
Been twice in the last couple of years. First year's dilemma was which lens. Opted for FA*300 and FA 50mm Macro. No filters just a good lens blower. As for the bag, I used a Currys special as it sat flat on the floor of the jeep and was easy to access the camera when needed (Most of the time) bu...

FS: Pentax K20D body
Well I can sell you a very good condition K10D. Designer red electrical tape door restraint, marked sensor that only shows around f12, non working AE-L button (seems to be jammed in the body) and suspect flash. Only 50,000 clicks as well ......

To the people who love manual focus...
The screen is not involved at all when taking the picture. It has no effect whatsoever on the image the lens projects onto the sensor.

The screen is not involved at all when taking the picture. It has no effect whatsoever on the image the lens projects onto the sensor. Right. We're just talking about what you see through the viewfinder, and how there are discrepancies between that and the captured image. Can you explain the physic...

To the people who love manual focus...
If there actually is a disparity between the image you see on the focussing screen and what is projected in the sensor - and I still think the effect is a trick of the eye - wouldn't that be more likely to be an effect of the pentaprism/mirror which diverts the light onto the focussing screen, rathe...

Your Opinions: Best Digital SLR Camera?
Buy a DSLR is an important decision and an expensive one, even more expensive if you get it wrong. There's not a "bad" camera on the market but Pentax SLRs, and this goes back to film days, have a special feel of their own I suggest you study the features you want and try to find a dealer where you ...

k20 or kx
On this one I'll throw my hat with the Kx. You know what you get with the K200D, with the Kx you'd be missing the top LCD and weather sealing. I owned a K100D and thought that I'd miss the top LCD, I don't; weather sealing I can't comment on. What I like about the Kx v K100D (and K200D I suppos...

k20 or kx
I've recently bought a 2nd hand K10D to act as a 2nd body to my K20D. I got fed up switching lenses and missed lots of good shots as a result. I have to say I'm glad I did instead of getting a 2nd K20D. I can now take long exposures on the K10D (With the dreaded noise reduction black frame sch...

Pentax k2000 - opinions?
I have one, I like it. It'd probably be a good one if your family includes people who need a simple point and shoot, as if you put it in green mode it just sorts everything out and produces very decent results. I think if I was looking for a second body I would consider a K200D, the weather seal...

Pentax k2000 - opinions?
I'm not sure about the video mode on the K-x, I have heard that video mode on DSLRs can harm the sensor if used for long periods? The sensor does wear and video will not have a positive effect on that but most likely you will have replaced your camera before you would see anything and the shutter wo...

Sensor cleaning... not
Its now seven months since I bought my K20 and I have just realised that I have never had to clean the sensor, it would seem that that the sensor shaking thing really works. My DS, by comparison, needs fairly regular scrubbing. Anyone else concur?

Sensor cleaning... not
I've never owned a DSLR without the dust removal feature. Friends with other brands which don't employ this feature often talk about sensor cleaning, I just shrug and carry on shooting.
