Maybee Pentax need to make weatherproofing for photographers

You have a pm

I dont think photoshop is ruining photography. Programs like elements can be bought cheaply in comparison to the price of the averge digital camera and giving more people accesss to darkroom techniques that few of us had acess to before and in that sense its improving photography.

I also think photo editing software is opening up more creative opertunites that go beyond photography and become something of an artform itself.

It can be used dishonestly or badly but then so can any camera.

I have now tried on it my K-X (which is still for sale:wink and still no luck.

The focusing ring moves freely when of the body.

Thanks for advice, wanted to make sure i was not missing something obvious before contacting shop.

I have just taken delivery of 2nd hand DA* 16-50 from a reputable retailer. On testing it have found that The Auto focus is not working on my K30.

I have checked that the AF switch on lens is set to AF, have also tried the AF switch settings on camera on both AF.S and C. I have also tried another lens on the camera to check AF is working although its not a SDM lens as the 16-50 is my first SDM lens.

Before i send it back to get it repaired is there anything else i should try

Still Available

Pentax K-X now £190, will sell with Tokina 70-210 for 215

I dont have the X-5 but used to have a similar panasonic camera. As ken said, It is hard to achieve shallow depth of field due to sensor size. The best way is to zoom out as far as practical (with a 26x zoom full will pit your to far away) and set the apeture to widest setting possible in manual mode.

Tokina 70-210 sold pending payment

K-X still available!

Saw this advertised in this weeks magazine, was looking forward to reading it.

Thats a relief, i was about to break!
