GESO 2020 - 175-188 - GDG

It'd been a long while since I used it: Since my arm is healing but still very weak I needed something small and light to try taking some photographs on a walk. Yesterday I pulled my Light L16 out of its box for the first time in a year and a half, charged it up, and reinitialized it, installed

Re: lens repair

KEH might repair it.  Erik Hendrickson(?) at Pentaxs.com might be able to repair it, he was able to fix my Vivitar S1 70-210 v3, if all that's wrong is something mechanical.  I think picking up a new used version from KEH might be the most economical solution. There really seems to be a

I don't know, I think I'd buy it, a flippy screen is just something else to break, though I can see it's usefulness in some circumstances. The new Prism looks like it could be duplicated by just using a O-ME53 which I've been using since I got my *ist-Ds.  It's not perfect but it does give a

Re: Shutter problem

It sounds like half the problem with my original K-5II.  It would do something like that about 1/3 of the time it malfunctioned.  It started out just missing an entire color channel recording a magenta image, then the mirror started to filp but the shutter wouldn't cycle.  Then the mirror

Re: Hello again, and problem solved

The big advantage of High Sierra is that it is able to read APFS drives. I forget which version of OSX breaks a lot of things (like LR6) so that they no longer run on it. Lately, OSX seems to follow the trend of iTunes where every new version seems to add a little bit more suck, but they mess

Re: Shutter problem

The button on the back on the left side above the panel shows no symbol or text. Perhaps it is attached to a spring for the panel to open. Selling a new top camera with a fixed panel will be a mission impossible. Henk Op 2020-07-22 om 15:16 schreef Pete McIntosh: At 20:21 in the 2nd video

There is a follow-up video from Ricoh/Pentax. The new APS-C is claimed to have a new penta-prism, improved grip, new shutter, better image quality and also a silver model (also for star lenses and K-1 mark II) No details on date of introduction. I still have no clue on whether the back LCD

Shutter problem

I'm shooting the comet, right now, and the shutter on my K-1 just stopped working. I've tried pulling the battery, all sorts of things. No luck. I got a few photos then it crapped out. Any ideas? -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss
