Is 10 units of back focus unusual?
Just another comment. Whilst I was doing my somewhat desperate set of 'is the middle battery in focus' tests earlier, (18-135) there was one set where they were *all* way out of focus, i.e. for 0,5 10 adjustment. I could put that down to perhaps I was kicking the tripod except the live view shot was...

powerbridge ist ds
hi folks, i recently get my istds back of cleaning. is was pretty dusty. after >13.000 pics i think this is normal. but, that company told me also this kind of cam has a very sensitive powerbridge onboard. it seems this can (be) damage the powercells in it. only pentax can repair this. an...

K-5 1.03 versus K20D AF tests
LV was spot on but when shooting through the view finder it was FF. So I make an AF adjustment on the lens of -8 and through the lens now is nearly spot on but then surely that would then kick the LV out? or doesn't the LV apply the AF adjustment? It doesn't appear so as now both are spot on.... :? ...

K-5 1.03 versus K20D AF tests
As I understand it LV simply hunts for the best contrast, so it is based entirely on finding maximum contrast on the sensor data. It doesn't need to know anything else. If LV could be used to provide the AF correction that would be brilliant - you could just run a few tests and the AF data would...

K-5 1.03 versus K20D AF tests
What I was saying was that it would be interesting to know if such issues have always been present in some models, but because information didn't circulate so quickly we would have been relatively unaware. We'll never know for sure, but I'm certain this is the case. I'm equally sure that the ma...

K-5 Sensor Stain - Grey Imports..!!
Sorry to raise another K-5 sensor post and apologies if this has already been covered. Went into my nearest photographic shop this morning. They are Pentax Pro Dealers. I wanted to know their best price for a K-5 body. I then asked about the sensor stain, wanting to make sure if I bought one it wou...

K-5 Sensor Stain - Grey Imports..!!
He's probably right that Pentax wouldn't replace a non-legit 'grey import' camera under warranty. But the issue was NOT confined to grey imports by any means. Sounds like he is just trying to allay any concerns you may have and secure a sale. A shame he feels he has to make stuff up in order to do t...

K-5 Sensor Stain - Grey Imports..!!
He probably meant that any being sold *now* with sensor stains are grey imports. The first cameras were official UK stock but they should all have been taken out of the system for refurbishing by now, as dealers (especially Pro ones) would have sent them back to Pentax when the recall was announced.

Kr Review, undeserved bashing???
The final word The K-r is in many ways a very competent upper entry-level camera. It delivers decent image quality across the ISO range and at six frames per second comes with one of the fastest continuous shooting rates in this class of camera. The only reason that we can't get as excited about ...

Kr Review, undeserved bashing???
Let's not forget that there was a very long list of good points as well. For the stills photographer the negative points aren't really relevant. Reviewers are allowed to have their opinions, otherwise they're not doing their job. If that's what the reviewer honestly thought, then those are his or...

Kr Review, undeserved bashing???
Not my work but I agree with it all the same, from Member Yanko on DPreveiw. Here are some questions on the K-r review. DPR if you read - please answer several questions. •The DR was reviewed with an omission of the overall steps of DR that the cam can produce and with omission of any compari...

Well, first of all thankks guys and gal for taking the time to read and respond, secondly and yes I am going to look stupid now :) it was the lens phew, it looked exactly the same as the sensor stains so I guess I jumped the gun a bit and panicked before I tried other lens's. I do have another q...
