LV seems to be different on the K-30 link

I've never used an EVF (Pentax don't make one and it's really off
topic on this forum) but I'd be very surprised if the electronics
could cope with say and f/1.2 lens and a whitish subject without
stopping down the lens. Hopefully Pentax will never make one
and I'll never need to know.

Edit: Possibly the Sony EVF does not close the aperture,
which must restrict the range to that of the sensor.
Don't look at the Sun.

The K-5 LV stops down in 2 stop steps... see here ....

That's nice Steve

The big problem with the rear LCD and possibly an EVF is
that it uses a different aperture to what you are using
on the lens..... so DOF could be miles out. You could have
f/1.4 on the lens and LV is using f/11

This also makes focusing difficult.

L-Plates are great. The camera/tripod is less likely to
topple over when using one.

I use the Novoflex version which has other uses link
It's got a threaded hole at the top of the upright
to take a tripod thread stud. I often attach a
flashgun to it.

Can't you get a piece of rubber between to camera and shoe
to stop it slipping.

Maybe I'd better write down a list, before I rush into this!

I already have one list "10 Ways to Eat Yoghurt"

Bounce flash off the ceiling looks the best bet for photos
