My C10 that I bought as a separate unit on amazon can with a QR plate. I'm using it on a 5n half case with a archery clip that I bent around it. It works really well. I use an Optech Compact Sling...

The data pin is used to fire the flash when over the sync speed on Pentax cameras. It is the same with rear curtain. It is not that the camera recognizes something in the hotshoe and so disables it...

Judging from the FOV in photo takens with the Kenko 1.5x, the Promaster 1.7x, and the Pentax AFA 1.7x with the same FA 50mm, the Promaster 1.7x has less magnification than the Pentax AFA 1.7x, and...

22 shots in 5 seconds, 24 seconds till the light goes off. Sony Class 10, SDHC, UHS-1, 94MB/s 16GB. Total 535,068,672  bytes written to the card at around 22 MB/s. Thank youRussell

Pentax hasn't made any modern FF lenses, so I think everyone wanting a FF is aware of the issue. Ned published that bit a while ago when he was head of Pentax USA and everybody sort of mentally ...

AV will act the same if ISO is locked. Thank youRussell

If the lighting display on the Eiffel Tower can be covered by copyright, shouldn't the interior decor of your home also be? I'm not a lawyer, but I think this link says it is so. If the people in...

You might want to buy some 1" black gaffers tape and then build your own sleeve ("pipe") with it. You start with a wrap around the lens with the tape sticky side out. Once that is in place, wrap...

I don't have the Samyang 14mm, but I do have a Sigma 14mm f2.8. I found that an 82mm metal hood with fit over the 14mm. There was a bit a play in the fit, so I used a little gaffers tape to make a...

If biggggant was talking about the Optech Compact Sling, then the BR strap would be a lot bigger and heavier as it is really meant for larger cameras. The Compact Sling is just a bit of neoprene,...

The idea is to create a secondary market for FF lenses, not provide a substitute for a FF model in the line up.  It would be a FF substitute for people that can only afford to spend $1000 for a...

I think the Samyang 10mm f2.8 prime is suppose to launch late this year. The nice thing about buying the Samyang 14mm in Nikon is the possibility to use it with the Kipon tilt swivel adapter for a...

Take the mirror and OVF out of the K-30, install a focal reducer in the space the mirror used to occupy, and an EVF in the space the OVF used to be in. Make the focal reducer removable like the old...

Some WG P&S cameras, the GR, Q10, DA 50mm f1.8, DA 18-270mm, DA 25mm for the 645D and firmware updates?   Thank youRussell

Which do you mark as the correct answer when there is more than one post with a great answer?  Thank youRussell

Thanks to everyone that commented. I know I getting back to this late and I'm sorry about that. Thank youRussell

How about a Samyang 14mm f2.8, Sigma 14mm f2.8, the Nikon 20mm f2.8, f3.5, or f4 lenses, Canon FD 20mm f2.8, or some other 20mm?  A 14mm with the focal reducer would have the FOV of a 10mm, the...

Buy a Pentax F 35-70mm f3.5-4.5. Fast AF, sharp, and can be bought for less than US $100 on the used market. Thank youRussell

Because I'm too old to play I'll show you mine, if you'll so me yours. Thank youRussell

It's in the manual is all I can say for certain, but I would assume that the preflash can only go so low in power and at anything less the 0.7 meters, it is more than probable that it pegs the...
