Perhaps this means that we will soon see a K300D and a K30D!

No. 54 was the last one we had hosted here, 55 onwards were in the new competition gallery, so a bug report will be on its way to the PU team in a minute!

I though I had missed something, glad I hadn't! It was actually number 55 I was looking for!No. 54 was the last one we had hosted here, 55 onwards were in the new competition gallery, so a bug report will be on its way to the PU team in a minute!

By the way, congratulations to David, it seems that getting him to set the competion is the only way to guarentee him not getting a placing!

Hi,

I have complained of something similar in the past, and it is in relation with the origional topic 'Pentax or Sony'. It's not about the camera make as already pointed out, it's about its availibility! Jessops are pushing Sony as they have an agreement and make more money then from selling Pentax. This is perhaps why many highstreet retailers don't stock Pentax, they don't make the margins form them, especially the lenses!Hi,

I have spoken to Nikon and Canon users and none of them have poopooed my Pentax, after all we are all attempting to take decent pictures! On the other hand, I have heard it in a shop where the assistant probably thinks that a 3.2MP camera phone is a serious piece of kit

I was looking back at some of the previous competitions and wondered where competitions prior to No 58 were
When we start a new competition, are the others falling off the end?

About the only thing that made me think of switching to Canon was the lack of tilt/shift lenses in the Pentax range (only 28mm shift no longer in production) but I solved the problem by buying a 5x4 view camera to go with my Pentaxes....
I solved the problem of the lack of a shift lens by using a £75 tool! Now all my lenses can operate as shift lenses!About the only thing that made me think of switching to Canon was the lack of tilt/shift lenses in the Pentax range (only 28mm shift no longer in production) but I solved the problem by buying a 5x4 view camera to go with my Pentaxes....

It is possible that your camera is back/front focussing with these lense, my K10D did and I was able to adjust it to compensate. Do a forum search for Back Focus and you should get some ideas on how to test this, you will need a focus chart and use auto focus at f2.8.
Are you using AF-C? It is possible to take the picture before the camera has locked on, though can also cause the image to be out of focus.

I wasn't aware that Pentax ever made an AF version of the 50mm f1.7. An 'A' version, but not an AF version. I thought that the only AF version of the 50mm was the 1.4.

If they read this forum in Buckingham palace, I'm sure Cris has a knighthood coming his way soon
Wonder how it will work out ordering from Norway...
Perhaps we should write to the Government on how Chris is keeping the economy moving by giving us Pentaxians such a good reason to spend our cash!
