The last occasion I recall of any obvious marketing was when the K10D came out!!
More recently they did that clever video thing where you could enter your name at the beginning and then it featured on billboards and newspapers and posters throughout the video

You might find preset Pentax lenses are an interesting subject...You can change aperture without clicks

Thanks !
The K-1 manual had me a little under awed on the topic...Yes not expecting the edges to be without some effects but this was in the center. Quite impressed with the M 20/4 for this...Just need to fix the nut behind the wheel

Press GPS button before using the Astrotracer function
Thanks !
Might explain my startrails at 20 sec on 20mm I only just spotted the GPS button after 3 years of owning the camera ...shows what my priorities are I suppose
I had to go online to find the button to turn on the movie function! sad

Rather than start a new thread does the GPS button on the side of the body have to be turned on using astrotracer or is it enough just to turn the astrotracer on and do the calibration there

It's a blinking shame really..I still have the Q7 with me when the K-1 is too bulky

It isn't fast by any means but I just adore the preset Takumar 1:5.6 200mm
The colour rendition blows your mind when photographing flowers. It will go as close as 7feet and is sharp enough to crop to show quite small insects.....
you certainly are right there, it's a very nice lens.

My pick is the DA21 for its colour, size, field of view and the nifty cap and hood.

Interesting thread.
I left the K-7 to avoid the noise to the K-5 and got the blur.
I find the K-5iis much better.
I hardly sharpen at all now.
