Hi,
I bought a Pentax 100mm f2.8 1:1 magnification lens.
If I'm taking a photo of something at the max magnification (very close up to the subject) there's a very small area that's sharp/in focus no matter what aperture setting I'm using. (no examples on hand at the moment)

Is there anything I can do to prevent this or is that just the way it was at max magnification?

Cheers,
pa.
Search this Forum, or Google, for 'focus stacking'. Might be the answer to your 'problem'.

Take a look at this;

Also, don't forget that you can adjust the brightness of the monitor/lcd screen in the Set-up menu

"Pentax DA 30 2.4 - Excellent condition, although front cap is missing. Will supply with a KOOD Circ Polarising filter, aftermarket hood and non-original cap. Boxed. £95."

Is this the 35mm 2.4?

Still seems to be available at Park Cameras for £299?

More details of the tripod - make, model, etc, and/or photos of the problem might help?

There are some where the head is not removable but you should be able to tell by inspection.

I have an old Velbon tripod where it's quite clear the head and leg attachment assembly were moulded as one piece.

Got this resolved yet?

I've shopped in store at Park Cameras. Got very good service, especially as they knocked down the price of a 55-300 DA to that of a DA-L 'cos the advert they'd posted didn't make it clear it was the DA-L on 'special' at the time.
