Yes, that's right, the Pentax 28mm. One reason for thinking of getting a K-1 is having the 28mm be a bit more useful. K.

You set the number of frames you want, and whether you want EV compensation. You then take your 2, 3 or however many shots. It will re-set back to not being multi-exposure once you have finished taking the appropriate number of shots. If you go back into the menu before you have taken them, it also resets it.

I don't know if it is possible to stop it re-setting after a set of exposures.

HTH.

Did anyone go? I was in France. It is a stunningly beautiful building. K.

Tractors. They are very big! K.

I think you photographed the 35mm next to the 28mm box...?

I am surprised no-one has snapped these up at these prices. Lovely manual lenses all, and superb IQ. I'd buy them, but I already have them all!

Hi folks,

I wanted to use my 43mm this evening and got it off the shelf to find that the focus ring is utterly stuck. The camera cannot focus it, I cannot focus it manually.

I guess it is off for repair, but any guesses before I send it off? Any recommendations? I know the official repair people but they are terrible and it is out of warranty.

Thanks, Kris.

I used the K20D until about a year ago, and went back to it when my K-3 needed repair a few weeks ago. It was a good camera, and still is, used within its limitations. I found that much above ISO400 on the K20D was pretty ugly, whereas with the K-3 I'll happily use ISO1600, and sometimes 3200. Most of the images of mine on my walls (printed to A3 or A2) were shot with either the K10D or the K20D. Only one image on my wall was shot using my K-3 which was printed at about a foot square, having cropped away about 2/3rds of the image!

As far as I am concerned, the two biggest advantages of the K-3 are size (I can crop quite heavily and still have images capable of being printed large) and IQ with higher ISOs (which means I can use some of my old glass in quite dim conditions). Other people take other sorts of photos, so would have other priorities. I'm thinking of getting the K20D converted for IR use.

I did think it looked a little like a decrepit dinky toy... thanks Gareth. K.
