New Camera
When you look at older catalogues and they had tubes, bellows, full range of filters, copystands, ref convertor, diopter correction, bags, cases, and so on. The range was quite amazing. Be honest, folks, how many people would buy tubes, bellows etc. etc.? When current makers of such things don't fin...

My wild theory on the new APSC - and why they're so viewfinder obsessed
The only thing that makes me wonder is the small sensor below the viewfinder. People have said its to turn off the back screen if you bring the camera up to your eye but to me that just screams overkill when you could do it with a simple button press which you are going to do to turn liveview on to ...

My wild theory on the new APSC - and why they're so viewfinder obsessed
I have seen suggestions that the rear LCD could be touch screen controls. In which case the auto-disable touch controls would be very handy. Again the M5 has a touch screen and so did my D500 but that is turned on and off with liveview on the rear screen, you simply don't need a sensor to do that, e...

My wild theory on the new APSC - and why they're so viewfinder obsessed
What if you are not using LV ? Then you wouldn't be using the rear screen so why would you have it touch enabled? All the latest DSLR's that have a touch screen (incl 90D and D500) have touch screens which are turned on/off with the liveview button as you only use them on a DSLR with liveview, th...

Possible software issue with brand new K70
It sounds as if you are changing/fitting lenses in live view which isn't good practice as the sensor is exposed, and the manuals recommend turning the camera off when doing this anyway. When you activate Live View the mirror is raised for the sensor to receive the image and switching to playback wil...

Possible software issue with brand new K70
How does the camera behave with a modern lens ? I suggest first giving the mount on the camera and the mount on the lens a clean using microfibre cloth and some alcohol. Pay special attention to the contacts. Hi. Should the contacts require cleaning? The camera is two weeks old. Unless my camera ...

Possible software issue with brand new K70
Hi. Should the contacts require cleaning? The camera is two weeks old. Unless my camera is not as new as I was lead to believe! There is no electrical connection with the Tamron Adaptall and the camera body, just a mechanical connection via a bayonet lug that connects with the camera body that opens...

Should I come back to K mount?
I find it handy to have the FF K-1 and other Pentax APS-C cameras that can natively share the same lenses and operationally share the same basic menu system. Yes, why go down a sensor size when you were waiting for a larger one? Sounds bizarre.

Should I come back to K mount?
Reason I went to Oly and I don't regret it as it's a good system with beautiful lenses, is I played a E410 or 420. I'm wanting to shoot sunsets and landscapes. One of the benefits of a full frame for your subject matter is the wide dynamic range, being able to pull details out of shadows without ...

Pentax 645Z still rated one of the best
I think DXO still doesn't analyse Fujifilm cameras that have their unique colour layout of pixels on the sensor, so bear in mind that all of their medium format cameras won't be represented on the list. I imagine that if they were, they'd be rated very highly too. I think most of them use the same...

K3 vs K3 ii
I can only dream of using a K3-II. I own one but I've never seen it so far. I bought it used from a fellow forum member and had it sent to some friends in UK to bring it to me in Spain when they returned in May. Unfortunately due to a serious leg injury, my friends haven't returned yet. Hopefully, t...

K3 vs K3 ii
With reference to the original question: I exchanged my K-S2 for the K-7 and still have my K-3ii. The K-3ii is a better build and more comprehensively specified camera, and for this reason I keep it. The K-70 however is lighter, has a flip out and tiltable rear screen, and uses a superior sen...

Servicing for Pentax cameras
Thanks Peter The camera needs a service in general, it looks like I've been hammering nails in a swamp with it, but the focus issue is a bit vexing. Basically, the image can look perfectly focused through the viewfinder, I've lined up the AF sensor exactly over the (for example) eyes of the su...

Servicing for Pentax cameras
OK this is what I would advise. 1. Buy a hammer for your next swamp visit, don't use the camera. :D 2. Adjust the dioptre on the camera to make sure it is still at the optimal setting. 3. Use a rocket blower inside the mirror box in Sensor cleaning mode. The aim of this is to get rid of an...

Progress report on PENTAX's new APS-C-format digital SLR flagship camera: officially named PENTAX K-3 Mark III
I read on Reddit that the estimated release price, converted directly from Yen, will be around $2500 US. I suspect that this will be an extremely nice camera in every aspect, and a significant upgrade from the preceding K3s and the KP, but that it will be priced well above many FF mirrorless models...
