Pros & cons of various types of remotes
Hi Amin, Nope still haven't got it right, but you got it almost. Using the K10D here so might be a bit different. If you go to menu > Custom settings > go to tab AF (green colour here) you see the option > AF in remote controll if you enable that the camera first will focus if you press the but...

Cokin P Filters
The SMC-DA 16-45 (which has a 67mm filter) is perfectly fine with Cokin P filters ;) Well, it is (in my experience) as long as when you're at 16mm you don't have the holder at an angle, otherwise it does vignette slightly in opposite corners. As long the holder is vertical or horizontal (I mean t...

Inkjet Printer for Photos
Any views on the CISS systems and third-party inks for the Epson R800? Do they really work as well as the original cartridges? Any danger of buggering up the printer? I learnt that lesson with the Epson R800, With so called top quality “compatibles” I binned it in the end So now I only use genu...

K110D infrared conversion..
I have read that removing the IR blocking stock hot filter and replacing it with an IR filter will get me hand held shutter speeds only slightly slower than visible light speeds without the need to have the lens wide open and having to shoot at high ISO. I have tried IR with my GX20 but it sucks ...

K110D infrared conversion..
might sell you what you need. Beware the focussing though. ACS set the sensor back a bit to correct the focus point for IR light.

K110D infrared conversion..
I am certainly interested in how the conversion goes, keep us posted. BTW, do you need an IR filter that will exactly fit to the sensor :?:

Spring Cashback
Hi Shim. You have three options really - and of course only you know which one you want to take; but.... In your shoes I would only consider getting a K20D if you were'nt thinking of holding onto the K10D. I presume you still have the *istDS; which I would still keep hold of as a great second ...

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I have my K20 and K200 set to shake the censor when I switch the camera on, is this a good idea or not?

I have my K20 and K200 set to shake the censor when I switch the camera on, is this a good idea or not? If like me you keep changing lenses then yes, mine has been set like this since day one and NO dust marks on the sensor yet.8)

Like tel on the day i bought my k10 i switched this on and every time i do a lens change i switch on the camera then off again so the sensor shakes.So far so good no dust!:)

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
Maybe the dust I encouter is more sticky than usual!, but I find the K20D's (and K10D's) Dust Reduction shake is rarely able to remove any particle I get on my sensor. Therefore I do not have it activated at startup in order to save battery power and time. However, I do sometimes use it after a l...

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
Here is an article about the dust removal system and it doesn't seem to work I know it's from the K10D but I believe that they haven't change the system or have they? The verdict quoted from it. Pentax K10D Part of the reason we started to organize this test was that we had a bad experie...

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
i second what iceblinker says, i find it not that good thats why i just dont change lenses no more tamron 18-200mm on k20d and 70-300mm on the k200d, i tested both with the dust feature on each camera has 2 specs, but if you shake the sensor the dust just moves about on the sensor, i just leave it a...

Mine's left on permanently at start-up. I give it a blow with the rocket blower about once a week and I've never had dust problems. :)

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I know it's from the K10D but I believe that they haven't change the system or have they? It's basically the same system, but the K20D gives the sensor a more vigarous shake at a higher frequency than the K10D. You can hear and feel that it's a lot more powerful. However, it's still not powerful eno...

To shake the censor or not to shake the sensor!
I've never had any dust problems on the k10 and change lenses a couple of times a week all i do is use a rocket blower when i'm changing the lens.It's maybe working or i've just been lucky but either way i'm not changing now.I'v probably just jinxed myself saying that but never mind:D
