What would you say to someone new to Pentax DSLRs? If they had knowledge of cameras (apertures, shutters, ISO etc), but were new to Pentax or thinking about Pentax? I'm hoping to put together a list of the best features or unique features of Pentax DSLRs for an article to go on site.

Thanks in advance,

Josh

I've lived in Liverpool for probably 10 years + and these photos are simply amazing. I've probably been in exactly the same places and NEVER seen these places like your photos! (Although I've probably tried the Tate image, but got a photo nowhere near as good as you).

I've never even bothered looking up at the stairs in Liverpool One! The fountains photo is brilliant. And the reflection shot as well. Amazing!

I've recently been trying to use a Pentax *ist D with remote flash - using a flash hot-shoe mounted remote trigger. This works fine on other cameras, such as my Panasonic LX5 (I just put it on, set the camera to manual, and away it goes)...

But for some reason I can't get the Pentax to fire the flash in manual mode - yet bizzarely the camera will trigger the flash if I have the Pentax on Bulb mode. (I then have to set the aperture to as high as possible to get photos that aren't overexposed).

Any ideas or help would be appreciated,

Thanks

Josh

Hi Dave,

Yes I'm going to ask if it's possible tomorrow when I'm back in the office,

Thanks

Hi,

I work at Magezine Publishing, and we are hoping to have a full resolution to this issue very shortly. I can only apologise that the PDF magazines are unavailable. We are aware of the issue(s), but unfortunately only became fully aware of them, after the Pentax User Plus system became available.

Thanks

Josh
