K-5 AF under tungsten light issue ....
(some problems can be fixed faster than typing a complaint on the internet...lol) Workarounds are of course all well and good. However I doubt any of us could solve the problem by updating the firmware ourselves. Typing constructive feedback about faults in a new £1,000 camera, as I'm sure you'll...

PEF or DNG??
Nice description. It is in the TIFF format -- which would normally raise a flag that the data is munged to some extent and thats what always bothered me, but it goes on to say there is an extension to the data to describe the sensor pixel layout. As long as the Bayer filter information is properly...

Lens cleaning paper - thoughts?
Algi wrote:Eddie Houston's selling this cleaner on ebay looks interesting. A few years ago I was seduced by the claims made for ROR (Residual Oil Remover) and went to the trouble of obtaining some from the U.S.A. (there was no distributor in the U.K. at the time. Luckily, I first tried it on an Hoy...

Your best tips for a DSLR beginner?
What photos are you taking? If you do landscape shots I would highly recommend a good Circular polarising filter, and a tripod for night shots. I have just purchased a K-r and love it. Look forward to hearing peoples tips....

Pentax deeply regret....
My totally unsubstantiated and random wonder is whether or not slight misplacement or distortion of the low pass filter actually caused Newton's rings.

battery grip
Out of interest, what am I risking when using a third party grip? Mine certainly fits firmly enough on the camera. While I can imagine that if you are someone who always uses a grip the original might be worth the investment, for occasional users my impression is that decent copies will suffice. ...

How WR without a WR Lens ?
Using a filter to secure the bag, into which was made a lens sized hole for the glass to peer through. Adding a lens hood will help keep water off the filter. The hands go inside the bag to operate the controls. It's clumsy but works. Proper lens shields are made which are better, and lens cap...

K-5 - hand-held IR pictures at last?
The answer is maybe. One of the things I hadn't seen fully resolved was the issue of the IR sensitivity, so this afternoon I tested it in between rain showers. I've got a Samsung GX-1L (= Pentax *ist DL2) that can do handheld IR work in good light at high ISO, but you can't see through the viewf...

K-5 - hand-held IR pictures at last?
I did some IR with the K100. Exposures were in the seconds so a tripod was needed. It was Compose, MF, Slot in the filter and shoot. I was very happy with the results. Haven't tried the K7 but I will now. + Thanks for sharing MZ

K-5 - hand-held IR pictures at last?
There must be a lot of K-5's floating about where they've had to separate the IR/AA filter to fix the stains - sounds like a business opportunity to turn them into IR-capable cameras... :)

K-5 - hand-held IR pictures at last?
In conversation, they told me that Pentax cameras are rebranded Samsungs ... Odd then that Pentax are continuing to produce new K mount bodies, but Samsung aren't. Do they really think that Samsung make cameras for Pentax :roll:. Sad indeed, I was contemplating having my *istD converted to IR ...

Hi, Ive had my k-R now for 2 months and am pretty disappointed that i cant seem to take the kind of images that i love and used to take with my previous cameras. eg filterd sunlight through trees, sunsets, night shots with street lights etc. Its not that there is anything wrong with the camera an...

K-R kit lens flare and ghosting
I've never seen a lens that will not flare when pointed at the sun because the optics would have to transmit 100% of the light and that is impossible. Adding a UV filter or polariser will make matters worse as you are adding more glass to cause flare. Not had any great problems with the 18-55 ...

K5 and all those digital filters and effects !
Are they wasted on the majority of users?? I'm still working my way through my new K5 manual and looking forward to the weekend - but I'm suprised at the amount of filter effects etc that have been built into the camera - a camera which, I would guess, most people using it would shoot RAW. ...
