I think it would be fun to compile a list of links.

To kick off, I've got a collection set on flickr, of my various 
collections that I've sorted out into different categories, which 
should make it easier for folks to avoid looking at things they 
dislike (bugs, reptiles etc.)

The AF on mine was particularly colour sensitive. Depending on the 
colour of the subject, it would front focus, back focus or every now and 
again, would get it right. Mine was so bad that shooting exactly the 
same scene outdoors, if a cloud covered the sun, the colour of the light 
would change enough to knock the focus off.
This was a known issue with the K5, in fact I recall it was the first 
issue that was discovered with that camera. I recall some guy on Pentax 
forums tried taking a picture of his car of some such under street light 
conditions and found the camera was front focusing be several feet, when 
in daylight it was fine.
I'm not sure if they got everything fixed on the K5 during it's run, but 
in addition to the AF issues, they had problems with spots of cement on 
the sensor on early ones and buttons falling off.
Apparently if you got a good one, they were very good indeed. I wasn't

OT: Bird Identification Quiz

[Daniel J. Matyola]

From the Cornell Lab of Ornithology:

"Test your bird identification skills with our latest tool– the Photo +
Sound Quiz
.
Pick a location and date and you'll get 20 bird ID challenges based on
Merlin’s list of likely species, all pulled from media uploaded by
eBirders. With over 7 million images, each quiz you take will be unique. As
a bonus, each quiz will help us improve Merlin by adding ratings and
tags! Warning: your evenings may never be the same."
Some of the bird photographers on this list may enjoy the quizzes.

Pentax has always taken it up the bum for having crappy video. It's 
always been OK for me, but my standards are probably lower than yours. I 
don't recall ever shooting any video with my K7, but I shot some with 
the K20, which had a similar sensor as far as output was concerned. For 
me they were fine.

I was shooting a lot of studio at the time, so the K7 was very good for  
me. It ended up being a far better camera than the K5 in my hands as I  
got a Friday afternoon K5 that had pretty much every electronics  
problem that the thing was noted for.

The AF on my K5 was worse than useless.
You slept through the K7?

Re: Pentax DSLR lineage / features questions

[Alan C]

I used a K7 for about 4 years. I shot mostly in bright light. Good up to 
ISO 400, tolerable at 800, hopeless beyond. (About the same as my 
K110D!) Now I have a K5 which is OK even at 3200. Everything else seems 
much the same as the K7. No electronic problems. Can't imagine why your 
AF was so bad?

The K-70 does not - it can use only the Pentax D-LI109 7.4 volt 
lithium ion battery. I have seen no external supply options for the 
K-70, and none are shown on the Ricoh site.



Do all pentax Dslrs have interchangable focus screens?


The K-70 does.

now Pentax K-70 w/ Pentax-DA 18-270mm walking-

On the way to Grandfather Mountain

[John]

Leaving in just a few minutes ... one last "pit stop" and locking the doors.

At this point, I'm only 5 hours behind schedule ... which is not as bad as it 
might have been. I had an unscheduled maintenance problem I spent 10 hours 
correcting - 10 hours I would have spent staging my camping gear, cameras, etc.

GESO: At the trough

[Alan C]

It was 33C in Phalaborwa today - very hot for the 1st June. Not 
surprisingly these elephants at Masorini in the Kruger Park are topping 
up. Most of the artificial water troughs in Kruger have been closed 
because they were skewing the game distribution. The few still operating 
are now have solar powered pumps rather than the old wind pumps.

Re: Yet more globetrotting: PDML Harrisburgh, PA

[Scott Loveless]

Hey, guys and gals!

It's always good to see Mark, even if it's only for a couple hours.

I dug out the Q10.  We purchased this for the wife when her original
K100 died, but she never really used it.  After handling a few other
SLRs, she ordered another, lightly used, K100.  So the Q has sat,
unloved, for a few years.
