Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
It read like a light hearted interview, lots of laughter. However I wasn't expecting them to say that they expect some (I guess a significant number) people are going to return to DSLR's from mirrorless :shock:. However they know their business and customers better than I do, so good luck to them. ...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Pentax are already spread far too thinly to properly focus on any of the formats they make, APS-C in particular has suffered in the years since the K-1 came out. They should stick to DSLRs, bring out a new flagship APS-C model, update all the limited primes (DA & FA) and the DA* lenses. Becoming a...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Mirrorless vs DSLR is a discussion on optical viewfinder vs electronic, focusing technology/approach and lens mount/depth. All the rest is the same. Both have the same sized sensors and both have mechanical shutters. I get Ricoh not wanting to go down the route of new development in this are...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
I've been lucky enough to play with a few bits of kit that were not mine recently. These being an OM-D EM1ii and EM1X as well as a K-70. Things that really surprised me with the K-70: K-70 just feels so much more responsive than my K-5. K-70 is more comfortable to hold with its deeper grip. ...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Hi Dan, I've added some olympus m43 bodies and lenses and was waiting for the olympus 300 F4 to be released and then.... it was heavier than the DA*300 F4, a lot more expensive and a bit bigger, all for a camera that has a smaller sensor than the APS-C pentax. It seems that this was a choice olympus...

[quote:3496ace15f="RobL"]Kinda feels like the automatic vs manual gearbox concept, which is a factor/component for sure, but not the only reason most would buy one car over another. Give me the manual any day of the week :lol: Seems a lot of people are having very similar sentiments about size, w...

K20D infrared?
I also have a K20D that I have been planning to IR convert. I believe the K20D is less difficult to convert than for example the K5 (possibly due to the sensor cleaning mechanism). Anyway, this is where I will send my camera when I decide to go for an IR conversation: https://www.spencerscamera.c...

SRS Pentax 100 Year event - Saturday November 23rd 2019
Hi Kris, The sensor cleans have 'sold out' already. We are trying to make more time slots available. I'll update if this is possible. See you on the 23rd!

Do I need to clean my sensor?
Hi all I have had my K5iis for 5 years. The sensor test on the camera shows no dust. I have taken about 20,000 shots. Should the sensor be cleaned anyway? Thank you Simon

Do I need to clean my sensor?
If it ain't broke why fix it? If you can't see dust on your photos, and the sensor test is clear then leave well alone.

Do I need to clean my sensor?
Well done on avoiding dust for so long - my cameras usually pick up a nice obvious dust spot soon after I get them (and they return after cleaning too!)

Advice please
The only advise I can think of is to switch to a tripod instead of a monopod, or move to an Olympus or Panasonic camera where (at least in theory) a lens with a slightly shorter focal length will get you the same field of view. Of course, you'll get a smaller sensor with poorer dynamic range and hi...

Sensor cleaning (again)
There was a thread here but I’ve lost it. Anyhow I recently noticed some spots when processing so I did a test by snapping a blank white screen. In the Lightroom spot removal tool I was staggered to see how many there were, but I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised as it’s the first time I have tried t...
