Ive been talking to Calumet in Belfast and they have agreed to do it "even if it is a Pentax" They actually asked me if it had mirror lock up capability! I had the sensor in my istDS cleaned at Calumet in Birmingham last year - free service offered at an Open Day I attended. There was no prob...

Great michael Can you tell me what products you used? in fact can anyone tell me how to do a sensor clean without F*king the thing up? Everytime I mention sensors to people I get pursed lips and head shaking. Do you need some sort of arcane knowledge to do it or what?!?

I cleaned a few specs off the K-5 sensor using a Rocket blower. It worked but I now have a very dirty viewfinder! Unless your posh blower has a decent air filter (the Rocket doesn't) you may end up blowing in new dust. This one has a filter: The Arctic Butterfly might be a better way of e...

Back to the subject of 10 stop filters, I have the Hitech 10 stopper that costs around £60. It does produce a blue cast, but as mentioned in this thread I can confirm this is easy to remove, either in post processing or by setting a custom white balance in camera (I tend to go down the post process...

Auto focus grinding!?! Sigma 70-300 on a k5ii
You could try cleaning the contacts with a soft dry cloth, on camera mount and lens mount. The make sure the lens seats properly and is locked in to place. The F-- is telling to that the camera is not reading the lens. Is any aperture ring on the lens firmly clicked into the "A" position?

Whats wrong with this lens?
Well I'm surprised that you can't see what's wrong with it, it's plainly obvious . . . . . . nothing. :lol: May we know which lens it is? It may be one that has known issues that somebody might no of. Is it maybe a zoom that suffers from barrel creep, that is, it changes focus wh...

K30 Battery Charger issue - Any ideas?
Hello, I purchased a K30 about seven months ago and now the battery will not charge. When I place the rechargeable battery that came with the camera on the supplied charger unit (D-BC109) the green light flashes when previously it remained constant while charging and went off when full. I have...

Any ideas???
I don't think it's a fault with the card - it's more likely that a corrupt card would have image pixellation, or similar, rather than colour issues. That leads me to guess that there is a problem with the sensor, although this will be either confirmed (or eliminated) by JOHNX's suggestion of resetti...

Any ideas???
Johnx my wb is manual 1 .The shots on the rear screen look fine. Picasa accepts file transfer but they come out as above. Elements say "the file is damaged or is in a format that cannot be included in Elements". The purple fringing SRS told me was the 18-135 wr lens and most of my other lenses be...

Matt from SRS has looked at the photos, thinks it IS a sensor issue [the purple line down the side of the photos has got bigger] so camera is off to hospital and they are lending me a K7. So I will know if its camera, or something else???!!! Thank you all for taking the time to comment I do apprec...

Just processing the JPG images you've put up it looks like the Red and Blue channels are swapped ;) (Used a Channel Mixer in PS) You haven't said what the original image actually was - DNG, PEF, JPG. I'm not even 100% sure which camera you have! Though looking at your gallery it looks like a ...

k20d dust removal
k20d dust removal.. I have looked at the manual,it does not state whether a lense should be attached when this is done. Also is the setup same for sensor cleaning. Nadeem

k20d dust removal
The K20 dust removal feature (where the sensor vibrates and the dust falls off) is done with the lens attached normally. The dust falls onto a pad below the sensor I think. Actual sensor cleaning, with a pad or brush etc, obviously needs the lens to be removed, and the mirror needs to go up to ac...

k20d dust removal
Dust removal and sensor cleaning are essentially the same thing, on my K20 I have never had to resort to wet sensor cleaning and I have the dust removal set to activate every time the camera is switched on

cleaning of negatives/slides
For the negs, I'd personally use a very weak solution of soapy water, and dry them off with a film squeegee, in the same way that a film processing lab (or darkroom enthusiast) would have done. If the trannies are mounted, not too sure, but I'd guess at some sort of anti-static cleaner such as a sma...

cleaning of negatives/slides
Over the last 40+ years I have amassed a multitude of negatives and slides and now wish to scan the better ones onto computer. Many of these are pretty dusty and I am wondering if anyone has any tips they could pass on. Thanks, John.

cleaning of negatives/slides
I think it's worth saying that a very weak solution means only one or two drops in a litre of water, otherwise you will end up with streaky marks. Better to get proper photographic wetting agent. To start, given that most slides should have been in boxes and most negatives in sleeves, then a micr...
