If you find yourself in a situation such as well known landmark or some other site where you have seen lots of successful photos, do you allow yourself to take the picture that you have seen so many times before or do you stop yourself and find another angle etc or even both

Focus peaking does feature on some Pentax cameras, The K50 is one of them. It needs to be enabled under the live view options within the menu. The implementation is slightly different, the Pentax version highlights the in focus area as white.

Hello Tracy

No need to be scared of your camera. Is there anything in specific that want to know. You may get more responses by creating your own introductory thread, people are always willing to give advice.

I used to have Panasonic FZ38 before getting a Pentax DSLR (im using the K30 which is very similar to K50) so have a experience with the change you have made.

Not strictly a deal, but a slim chance to win a K3

What i used was this Rosco Strobist. It is a bit of plastic that you put in front of flash, but often referred to as gels.

Do you have something that would be more suitable in mind that you could point towards.

I gave it a try the other day and it seems to work, fixed the gels to the back of the lens using dot stickers as it made it quick to do when out and about.

I tried stacking a number of 3 gels, this photo also had a half gel for the top half of the photo (its worth remembering that the image comes out of the lend upside down) As you can see there is a strong color cast. I could not retrieve the greens.

here is a black and white conversion.

I wonder if the problem your friends X5 is that it has got a bit grit or something within the mechanism that extends the zoom preventing the zoom from extending. I had this with a Cannon camera.

My LX5 is always telling me to remove my lens cap, i have had it for years and i still forget. To be honest i do it with K30 as well but that does not remind me

Gel filters was what is was thinking, I will give it a go and see what happens.

I agree its a shame there is not a slot behind the lens.

I like the Pentax 10-17 Fisheye lens, but wish i could fit a ND or Grad Filter. Saw this video below for DIY filter for M4/3 cameras. A lot of the posts below say not to do it on DSLR as it would break the mirror. My thought is there is a bit of gap between the mirror and the back of the lens so it might be ok. Has anybody any experience or thoughts with this before i trash my camera.
