Taken a little gamble on another MX. Was described as requiring new light seals and having a slightly dirty focus screen. I did the seals on my current MX so that bit isn’t too much of an issue for me. The good bit is it is described as meter working and shutter speeds change according to dial b...

The MX is such a good value camera - I'm still amazed at K1000's and KM's selling for more money - sounds a pretty good price and a little tinkering and cleaning you may well have a stunner :P I've never understood the premium prices people pay for a K1000. It's the photographic equivalent of weari...

A Panasonic LX100, which I've just boxed up to return 'cause it's got a mark on the sensor. Grrr...

So after cleaning all the channels where the light seals are/were ready for new ones I notice this hole. There should be a screw in there to hold the rear grip on. This is the rear grip that was cracked. Didn't have the right screw so I've used a screw from an old extension tube that fits but sits e...

Last week, having promised the wife that I would buy NO MORE LENS, walking past charity shop, hello I thought, Pentax F 28-80, needs cleaning, £10...........well, I had to didn't i, well I know it's not highly rated, but come on £10. Be a shame not to. Got it home, the cleaning was all external dust...

Bought a KP from eBay. Superb price but it arrived with a horrible problem where it refuses to AF in viewfinder mode. There are marks in the mirror box suggesting someone might have tampered with the AF lens or maybe tried to jam the wrong mount in there, otherwise the camera is spotless. Live vi...

I've ordered a 2nd hand GR III It arrived today, cheaper than usual used prices because of a mark on the sensor. Thankfully the mark turned out to be a very stubborn dust spot that moved around as I used the Dust Removal feature. Eventually the dust spot fell off and I have myself a working GR III! ...

They've cleaned up real nice, treated to some anti bac and then a nice polish which makes them look nice but now they're uber slippery in the hand. Managed to break the eyecup when I was cleaning behind it so now looking what eyecup fits that's not going to break the bank! Apparently any eye c...

A Pentax Bellows A. Just for fun, of course. The bellows had its (their?) first outing today. The Laowa 25mm x2.5-5 macro was attached at full 5x magnification and f4. The aim was to see how far the lens could be pushed with bellows and to find out where there might be problems with my current ...

I have enough Pentax lenses and bodies to keep me happy and busy, however I have always wanted a much smaller (jacket) pocketable Pentax simply for the convenience. In my quest for this I have acquired: The Q and Q7 and their lenses, The MX-1, The Ricoh GRD i ii, iii, and iv, Th...

Got a lovely vintage K10D in excellent condition the day before yesterday. This is my first camera with a CCD sensor and I start to get what people see in them. Here are two quite different photos taken with it. And a short series & a nice weekend to everbody :)

A 20L Dehumidifier, not only condensation on the windows lately but having Fungus on 2 lenses (so far not checked them all) made me get one. Had a dehumidifier years ago that lasted a very short life IIRC. I binned my secondhand Vivitar 75-205 f3.8 sadly, no chance trying to clean it, bit sad as I...

Image problem
I think it might have something to do with the demosaic algorithm and the 'binned' sections on the sensor. The actual sensor is 6064 x 4016 sub-pixels. The output RAW file is 6016*4000. The same sensor on the K-70 outputs 6000 x 4000. I think when the software is doing it's thing it is incorrectly t...
