Astronomy and Live View on KS2
I am really chuffed with my recent purchase of a KS2. Streets ahead of my K10D - which is still a nice camera. I have a problem with it tho'. My main excuse for buying it was for Astrophotography and it has yielded some very good astro pictures with my 70-250mm zoom. I recently got myself a good (...

The moon basically requires a normal earthly daylight exposure. It shouldn't need a neutral density filter if exposed with the correct shutter speed. With a fixed aperture lens/telescope, set the shutter speed using the M setting and If it's too bright decrease the shutter speed until it isn't any...

There's an LCD display adjustment option in 'spanner' menu 1. No idea if there's anything there that'll do what you want? Thanks for that suggestion. I looked at the setting and it was cranked up awful high. I probably did it on a very sunny day and forgot about it (in a tizwaz). As soon as the Moo...

Pentax K-1 Mark II rumours
upgraded AF and higher burst rate :-) It would be the last two steps in the right direction. The biggest attraction to the D850 isn't the higher resolution, it's AF and frame rate + buffer size. I don't shoot machine gun often but when I do need it, I can't shoot Pentax. The AF side has long be...

Pentax K-1 Mark II rumours
Acceptable noise depends on the subject, 12800 ISO is the absolute max I would use as a record shot but I have rejected bird photos at that level as detail is crucial. OTH I have acceptable interior shots in the 3200-6400 range as the files respond very well to noise reduction in Lightroom, far bett...

K-3II Now Officially Discontinued
Actually no, it's just been announced .... They are now carrying out final testing for the new EyeControl Focussing system that Richard has been asking for! .... Oh no ! That means another set of filter holders required.

Oh no ! That means another set of filter holders required. Yes, and to facilitate that Ricoh are abandoning their relationship with Tamron and starting a new co-developmental joint venture with ....... Spec Savers!

AP K-1 Field Test
This for the Mk1 or Mk 2 John? I would be very interested to find out as a) one has a Mk1 and b) I have just returned from the Faroes. However, my Pentax gear did not come with my as my FA* lenses do not lend themselves to being used with the Lee Square filter system.

I'm not an owner of any FA * lenses. But certainly would be interested in finding out why you cant connect the Lee filter system to them ?

AP K-1 Field Test
It was the K-1. I repeat the question, was it not the K1ii? why do a field test with a 2 year old camera? I'm not an owner of any FA * lenses. But certainly would be interested in finding out why you cant connect the Lee filter system to them ? they are not internal focussing, so the filter hol...

AP K-1 Field Test
they are not internal focussing, so the filter holder and filters turn with the lenses...not a problem if you are using MF on a tripod but when you forget to turn off AF then the filters spln with centrifugal force.... DA* and D-FA* are IF but the don't suit the Lee 100 system as the lens diameters...

Lunar Eclipse camera settings

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
I am thinking about investing in a ND filter set and Polarizer. I have looked at the offerings from Lee and SRB but wonder about the practicality (and cost difference) of just investing in the ND Fader type (Circular) and Circular Polarizer. I have a range of lens that 77mm and 67mm will fit so ...

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
No experience of the fader design. Lee is a great kit but expensive. As far as focus goes you want to be doing that before you put the filter on the lens :D

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
ND filters is a tricky subject. When it comes to what kind should I purchase. The first and obvious question is "How much do I intend to Spend on them ?" Then how often do I intend to use them..? And thirdly . Will I ever purchase equipment that will leave the system redundant. The latest Pentax le...

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
The difficulty I find is there is no one system that fits all; I first bought an inexpensive set of Cokin rectangular 87mm filters but after getting the 15-30mm lens I got the Lee SW150 system on the basis it would fit my other larger lenses as well. The problem apart from the cost is the amount of...

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
With all the advice as above, if you go for glass round filters, which will probably be the polarizer and the 10 stop at least, buy for the largest lens diameter you have and then use step down rings to everything else, much cheaper than a specific filter for each lens

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
PS I gather that the latest LR version will let you control just the bright areas so eliminating the problem of a horizontal change point on a hilly horizon. I am all for getting everything right in camera but am beginning to wonder whether variable NDs are becoming redundant. ...and in PS/LR you ha...

ND Fader or Filter Kit?
or forget filters and bracket 3 or 5 shots , thee are pro landscape photogrphers that do this with excellent results, looking very natural and not like an overblown HDR. plus their view is the only filter you need is a polariser, you can also blend a number of fast shutter speed images together to c...
