Thanks Simon. Now to ponder on whether to purchase.

On the 1st April

Any vignetting issues with the 12-24?

Don't overlook netbooks. Reasonably priced with the advantage of a screen to review shots with if you want to.

I use a netbook and a photobank. Photobank great for simple backup in the field; netbook great for making sure you've got what you wanted before leaving where ever you are and it's too late to return

I think you'll it's find because the answer hasn't changed

Unfortunately Pentax stopped their own tethering solution with the K20D.

Welcome to the forum by the way. Hope you stick around.

Well, Clifton are a Pentax Pro Centre, so should know what they're talking about, but (a) they are making comparisons without having your lens in their hands, and (b) it's what you think that counts.

If you're unhappy, they're offered an exchange, so why not change it? You'll only continue to fret over it otherwise

Which dealer?

This thread started a few months ago. Elsewhere in another thread the OP say's he's selling because he's not getting anything out of macro.

Manual lenses - yes. Suggest you do search the forum though, as 'cif' is a little quirky.

K-x. Problem, as the infra red port is at the front only and there's no provision for a cable release.

You'll need to devise something to 'bend' the infra red around the camera, but search the forum as someone sold a home made cable operated device on here recently.

Look at page 134 of the manual for more information. You can buy a remote control, Pentax or otherwise. There were some being sold by 7dayshop recently but pot-luck on whether they worked or not. Search for the thread.

1 It's 'catch in focus'. Suggest a search of the forum?

But here's an over-view;

1. Custom Menu 5 option 35 set to 2

2. Camera set for AF-S

3. Manual lens (M,K, A) on the camera or a lens that allows turning off the AF (DA* FA*).

4. Point camera towards target area, press the shutter release completely, focus on the target spot. When the camera detects an object in focus, it will take the picture.


2 What camera model?
