But she could, she had forgotten the memory card!
Well she'd better go and get a NEW Camera with built in memory then
DSLR's seem to complicated for her

What can be more negative than the camera not working!

Perhaps her boyfriend could have produced an SD card (and saved the
day) from another OLD camera that he had with him that he was sick
of the batteries going flat or the camera just wouldn't work
because it had water or sand splashed on it. He could have
even got one from an MP3 Player.

I've just looked at the K30 video and that one's very good.

Very negative video..... that should put a few people off

The only good bit was that it takes AA batteries, but the message
wasn't on screen long enough.

The quality was good, but why finish at the end with her not
being able to take a photo. Is that what happens with Pentax
cameras you can't take photos.

It's completely the opposite of the old Successful Kodak adds in which
to take a photo was "As Simple as Clicking"

I agree with what paulyrichard has said about the 35mm Macro HD.
Looks soft and I would say it's either faulty or had a dirty
filter on it.

The test needs to be done again with another sample.

With any lens test you also need to repeat the focus-shoot loop at least 4 times and pick out the best.

Live View isn't 100% accurate. Try focusing from the infinity side mark on the lens until it's in focus and put a mark on the lens using some sticky paper. Repeat from the Minimum Focus end of the scale and mark again. You will probably finish up with 2 marks a small distance apart.

It would be interesting to hear how focus peaking works on this. I haven't got it on my K-5. Does it it give accurate results from both ends of the lens scale.

£1300 for a Manual Focus camera with no shake reduction,
top LCD, optical finder etc.....you must all be mad

The adapters all look like monsters

Good to see that this is complete with the essential rubber
eyepieces
. A lot that you see on sale don't have them which
makes them difficult to use.

I can't understand why people keep asking for a folding LCD
and yet ignore these 90deg finders which are even better for
low angle shots and offer a 2x view for better focusing.

Your almost giving it away at that price.
