Pentax launch the Q
C mount was mentioned too. I am sure if the adapter provides the correct focal plane for the lens type (so a rather large adapter for K-mount) I am sure that it will work. And as a plus, the sensor will only use the very centre of the lens, so in theory should be as sharp as a tack without any sha...

Pentax launch the Q
Now the sensor has a crop ratio of 5.46 over a 35mm, so taking that into account, imagine using one of the Sigma "Bigmas", therefore the 170-500, 150-500 or the 50-500. You would get an effective focal length of 2730mm! and with a x2 converter 5460mm!!!!!!!! Perfect for birding would you say? One o...

How do you clean your sensor?
Hi. As the title question says, I would like to hear your experiences. I have used rocket blower and it got worse. If I need to clean it regularly and since I have two cameras, it will cost a lot. What is the best option to clean the sensor? Thanks for reading and replying.

How do you clean your sensor?
The best option is don't. So far I've only ever used a rocket blower and not very often. Making sure the camera is switched off when changing lenses and that the camera throat is pointing downwards will help.

How do you clean your sensor?
Hi. I want the best option and unfortunately, some dots appear in photos. Then, go back to shop to clean paying £35 again? I think digital sensor get dust quite easily in my experience. Maybe others don't need to clean their sensor that often and I will be wondering how. Thanks.

How do you clean your sensor?
I use a brushless blower. The in camera check screen is useful but you do learn more from an out of focus F22 pic of the sky from time to time. I'm surprised some users only do it rarely. I find outdoors photography invites some dust however careful you are with in the field lens changes. I...

How do you clean your sensor?
I change lenses frequently but have never needed to 'clean' the sensor... I may have been lucky but I have a lens changing routine that is pretty quick... I also run the sensor shake/dust removal feature after formatting sdhc cards... (I always format the card after I've dropped images onto lapto...

Arctic Butterfly for sure. Buy the cheapest model as they are all fundamentally the same.

How do you clean your sensor?
Certainly seems to be better on the K7/5, I've not seen any dust specs yet either. Set the dust reduction to come on when the camera switches on, and always turn it off when changing lenses. Any specs in the past were dealt with by very careful and patient parping of the rocket blower.

How do you clean your sensor?
Hi all, the start up sensor shake seems less vigorous than the menu one on my old KX and now my KR. I still have it on though. I take about 6,000 photos a year mostly outdoors and with regualr changes of lens in field. Lucky people who don't have to use dust blower on the sensors protective sc...

How do you clean your sensor?
Hi. I have tried wet sensor swap, but it is the same. Hopeless, I think I need to go to the shop. Really frustrating to have to deal with it. How do you use wet sensor swap anyway? Thanks.

Next to no fluid and then in a single sweep drag the swab over the sensor. Then do it another three times until you get it right.

After five times application, it remains the same. Is it really a stain? Thanks.

This morning I decided to convert my old Samsung GX1L to be a proper IR-capable camera. This involves taking it to bits of course, so it was with some trepidation that I commenced unscrewing parts of it. There are about 26 screws (all different sizes) and many ribbon cables (three types of conne...

The Hoya filter is also the wrong thickness, so it will be optically out as well. Ah, that is compensated for by moving the sensor module - it is on three posts that can take thin washers. The autofocus can be adjusted via the debug menu, and the focussing screen can be shimmed too. If I could g...
