I have both the A1.4 and the FA1.4. For years the A1.4 was my favourite lens, used at 2.8 it just shines with quality. However, I don't use the A any more (except for Video on the K-7 ) as I struggled with the focus. The FA1.4 is spot on and fast! And coupled with ISO1600 on the K-7 it opens up a new world!

There's always the K-7 or the K-5

I use FDRTools and find it works very well, even on 9 shots.

Though you guys mike like to know this from DpReview site:

Quote:
Pentax has released firmware updates for its K-7 and K-x digital SLRs. Similar to recent updates for the K-5, K-r and 645D cameras, they extend support to SDXC memory cards offering the format's greater capacity but not speed. Version 1.11 for the K-7 and v1.02 for the K-x are available for immediate download from the company's website.

K-7 Firmware v1.11

K-x Firmware v1.02

So, anyone for a 64GB card in their K-7

I knew someone here would have the answer to my problem!

Thanks Doug.

By the way, I deleted the folder and just re-ran the program, no need to re-install at all.

I'm sure I didn't have lens correction turned on unless it occurred during the u/g.

It seems a likely possibility to me, I suggest turning it on, both chromatic and distortion, taking a picture and then turning it off, take another picture and see if there is any difference in the write time.

I expect it is already priced to take into accoun the VAT rise so it won't increase in January 2011?

It is worth the update, phase detection focus in Live view for still and video have been significantly improved! It is now almost as fast as using the contrast detection method in live view which brings the mirror down then back up! Also, focus on half button press helps usability a lot for me.

I havn't checked write speeds, but will do this weekend.

Has anyone tried the update to Pentax Utilities?

I might be a little late to the fold, but just noticed that K-7 firmware version 1.10 was made available on 28 July.

See: K-7 Firmware v1.10

Critically this update adds movie editing functions!

Sorry if this has already been posted but a forum search did not show anything up.

I for one would be interested in seeing PU live on as a PDF only production, better that then no magazene. I can then print at home if I choose.

What do others think? Would you suscribe to a PDF version?

I have found PU very good and looked forward to my copy arriving.

It was mooted some time ago, link, with a 50/50 response.

I wonder if it were to make the difference between survival of the magazine or not how the result would be effected.

That was my point!
