Additional note:
K10D - when using bracketing (esp for HDR), you should use a remote release. If you use the shutter you have to press it once for each bracketed shot.
K20D - there is a custom option to rattle off all bracketed images on one shutter press.

And yes, as noted, you can have 2Ev apart, either 3 or 5 shots. 2Ev/5 is what I use for HDR I even have it saved under the "User" setting How cool is that!

LOL!

That and the DA* lenses
Matt

George,
From the EXIF data, the first was already at f/6.3, ISO 200, 160mm Not a great deal of room for maneuver as the largest aperture on the 50-200 is f/5.6 at the 200mm end.
2nd and third were at f/8 - so there's a bit more latitude.
Matt

Well, I reckon first up should be the SMC-FA 50/1.4
Utterly sublime lens at a low price. Stunning at f/2 to f/2.8. Makes the K20D into almost a compact camera!

Unless you have a few hundred quid to spare, then it'd be the SMC-DA* 50-135. Just wish I'd had that lens at the wedding I did on Saturday

Matt

I'll provide some photos tomorrow... hectic with work
Sorry about that!
Matt

Pentax K10D
SOLD!Having just upgraded to the K20D I'm selling the K10D on
Bought new from SRS (I think at the end of 2006). Shutter count is just over 12200 actuations. Condition is very good to excellent.
The hot shoe shows signs that there's been flashguns attached - with some slight wearing of the black. The "OK" button on the back has lost a part of the "O", and the K-mount shows signs of normal use.
Other than that everything is tip-top - I've looked after this very well
Complete with box and all original accessories (the strap is the unused one from the K20D).
(At the moment I haven't located the original CD yet... found earlier CDs... but that will definitely follow).

£275 + p&p.

Pentax SMC-F 50mm f/1.7
SOLD!
A near mint example of a super-sharp lens. Optically perfect.
Supplied with original 49mm cap and rear cap. This lens has a very flat field of focus and is great for portraiture, low light, and copy-work.
If you want a filter to protect the lens, I'll also throw in a good condition Hoya Skylight 1B filter.

£75 + p&p.


If anyone's interested, drop me a PM. I'll charge the postage at cost - I will only ship recorded/registered or by courier. Payment by PayPal would be good. Alternatively, if you want to pop into my Hove work address with the cash you can save the p&p and have a little chat as well

Thanks!
Matt

Terry,
The SMC-DA* 50-135 - definitely
And probably an AF540-FGZ.
And an SMC-FA 50mm f/1.4


Welcome to LBA world
Matt

Absolutely agree with you Don

It was something that I meant to do, but I forgot to disable SR for shots outside - giving this weird little crop of blurriness

Perhaps it's another thing to commit to habit
i.e. - keep SR off; when you need it, make sure you check the "hand" sign in the VF before pressing the shutter; then turn SR off.

Matt

That's a good idea

My question, I suppose is: when SR isn't ready, does the K20D/K10D disable SR, or does it make a stab at it. If it's the latter - that would certainly explain the shots I'm seeing.
