Pleased you have it resolved now.

It was aired again only last March on the True Entertainment channel.

Agreed, a great set of images. Well done

It's all in the exif!

Just set the AF Fine Adjustment for either all the lenses or individually in Custom Menu 26. See page 126 of the K-5 manual if you're not sure. Normally its best to go for individual lenses as some will require a positive adjustment and some negative.

Re your comparison, the Oly EM-5 only has a contrast detect AF system so doesn't need an AF adjustment method whereas the K-5 has phase detection AF for TTL. If you want contrast AF on the K-5 use liveview making it like using the Oly. You have to set the AF method in the menu system (see page 166 in the manual.)

Contrast AF won't work in TTL as the mirror has to be up for the sensor to see the image!

Thank you all.

Don't believe the Pentax 18mm is a fish-eye.

This weekend has seen an event known as Seafest take place in Scarborough. My visit was to try and find a subject for the Food comp this week. I noticed folk pering over the harbour wall and wondered what they were watching. It was this impressive design being created on the beach.


Photographed on the K-S1 with the 16-85mm. To the person wondering what would be a good wide angle for a landscape, what about that? Two images combined in Photoshop Element's Photomerge.
And to think it will ll be gone when the tide comes in.

Some close ups:

You haven't by chance accidentally pressed the info button in such a way to turn the screen off have you? Though with that it should still show captured images, so if it doesn't do that either perhaps a wire has broken of come adrift as you say. If you haven't tried it, see if you can playback images though I get the feeling you have tried that. There are alternatives to Johnsons, but if you sign up here as a plus member you do get a discount. However I suspect you could pick a a nearly new or ex demo camera for around the same price as the repair quote.

Ah, yes, but you have to go by the lettering on the battery.
