That OK feeb? Hopefully your mind has now been put at rest.

The thread only disappeared whilst it was being discussed by the way, so RR is no longer Lost In Space.

The K10D has only one adjustment available, in a section that isn't normally available for user adjustment.

It strikes me that the one adjustment could be made perfect for one lens, but then what about the others? And does this change with different focusing settings or different zoom settings?

I'm not going to mess with mine! If I was buying a K10D and the user told me they'd adjusted the focus point I wouldn't buy either. But that's just me, perhaps there are braver souls out there?

Not being a Pentax one could well make a difference as some relevant feature could be missing.

Chris, of course they're out to get you. Once you accept that, life suddenly makes more sense.....

But seriously, you'll find that all marques recommend switching shake reduction off when on a tripod, regardless of whether it's in-body or in-lens.

It must be something to do with the basic way that any shake reduction system has to work.

Or, indeed, they are all out to get us!

The extra info I was referring to was the info required for Power Zoom, Zoom Clip, Image Tracking and so on. Some pre-FA lenses also do not report their focal length to the SR system.

A very warm welcome from the Moderator Team! We're here to help you as much as we can, and of course just to make sure things go generally as smoothly as possible.

I'm John Riley, I've been around here for quite a while and you'll notice that I've made quite a few posts as well.

You'll fine me writing articles in Pentax User Magazine and I'm also the Chairman and Treasurer of Atherton & District Amateur Photographic Society, referred to hererafter as ADAPS. You might find me on this forum any time of the night or day.....

My fellow Moderator has been Matt (mattmatic) from the start and now we have added to the team Daniel Bridge and Ken MacGregor (gartmore) - we have nearly 10,000 registered members now so we need a bigger team to cover the forum properly.

So welcome to the new team as well as yourselves as new members.

We're a friendly place, so join in and enjoy the ambience.....

Now over to the other team members to introduce themselves!

Not everyone can bring their talents out for themselves, sometimes they need a little help to release their own abilities. This could be lack of confidence, it could be that photography is new and they are struggling with a lack of technical knowledge.

The trouble with teachers can be that they can fall into the trap of saying "this is what you should do" or "this is the right way" and so on.

Very often there is no right or wrong way, only the way we feel about something.

However, with photography the principles of how everything works need to be mastered otherwise we could not actually know how to express what we feel about our subject matter.

Sue has the Pentax 18-250mm and virtually every shot she takes is sharp, so clearly something is amiss.

To be fair, that's litttle different to the decisions made when designing a film. In the case of digital that decision can be adjusted in the menus and honed in Photoshop if required.

If I want daylight film with 81A filter I just set Cloudy in the WB menu. Generally though I use Daylight, which equates to the colour temperature I like.

I'd maintain that it's not as random as you suggest.

Do you mean for which there is no section?

It would go in whichever section was most appropriate. For example, a question related to Photoshop belongs in General Digital Photography Chat. One related to film belongs in Pentax Film SLR Cameras. One related to a technical problem belongs in Troubleshooter. And so on.

I don't think it's possible to have a section for every eventuality, so the nearest one will do just fine. You can post supporting or explanatory images in these sections along with the question.
