Welcome Esther, it's great to have another member from overseas; there are already quite a few participants living in The Netherlands. I hope you like the site and I look forward to seeing some of your images.

Best wishes
David

Just to let everyone know, Greg has purchased my K-m for £100, incl. kit lens. I think he will find it a good upgrade from the iST and I'm sure he will take some great photos with it.

Best of luck with it Greg, if you have any issues or questions please let me know once you receive it.

Regards
David

Dave, I don't know if there are any fellow Pentaxians near to you, but would it also be a good idea to meet up with someone and swap cameras on a shoot? You could then see how the K-30 performs with someone else's lenses and you could get a second opinion as it were.

Was it taken in Australia Gary? It's upside down

Only joking - it's superb. You really do get the most from that Sigma 105 Macro lens.

What a fantastic coup Alan, I'm very jealous of you! To be able to see one of these in the wild and capture some shots must have been fantastic.

I think Dave is referring to focus inaccuracy and lack of sharpness rather than noise? The two shots posted here do not look absolutely sharp to me and I'm sure it's not Dave who is at fault as I've seen lots of his images and they are always sharply in focus.

The new firm ware update says it fixes contrast af on the k30 might be worth a go.

The contrast AF is only for Live View, so I don't think this will help?

Dave, I would hazard a guess that some fine AF adjustment is required. I once had a K-x which back-focussed very badly and shots on this camera with my 55-300 were really poor in comparison with the K-m. This was confirmed when I bought another K-x which was perfect. I'm not sure of where in the menu this is on the K-30 but I think someone will be able to assist with this pretty quicky.

Thanks Will, good point. The K-x doesn't have this either but I can't say this has ever bothered me. It's something I rarely (if ever) use on the K-5.
