Well, if Pentax follows suit, they'll stop selling cameras and require that you rent one for $100/month in order to have access to workable firmware.

I have both the Pentax and the screw-drive Sigma.  Love the Pentax, like the Sigma.  For me, the Sigma is really more like a 50-400.  Seems soft beyond 400 to me, but I suppose there are times 500...

Just an update--my new-in-box i960 is doing great.  Just finished 1st tank of BCI-6 Photo Magenta.  I replaced it with a CLI-8PM tank--still spot-on color and I get a fairly economical option with...

I bought one a 6 weeks ago.  It made beautiful prints of any subject that had no cool blue tones.  Those tones it shifted purple.  I spent several days trying every setting from the printer forums...

No interest here, but my 105/2.4 Series I macro has done more to prevent me from jumping from Pentax than anything else.  Love that lens.

We use the TaV mode quite a bit on our Pentax. Good feature to include.

Amazon took mine back.  After much anguish, I anted up for an old unused i960 on E-Bay, which arrived today.  Perfect from the very 1st print, hallelujah!  Plus, I can print with genuine Canon...

Yet I see no Pentax dslr's carried by Amazon itself.  Theories?

Difference in US looks twice that to me, even before you get into lens price differential.

Sigma 17-50/2.8.  Twice the weight of kit lens without much IQ advantage.  Would have gone with the 31mm or any of the 35mm options in hindsight.

Hope it works out.  If they say it's printing correctly, make sure they have one of your jpegs that exhibits the purple shift and that they scan and send you their print of it.  That way you can...

I'll be curious about what they find out for you.  BTW, the guy I spoke to there was Robert.

What did it for me was sending them the images I posted here--an original file and the scans from my PRO-100 and i860.  Their own prints matched my PRO print, but not my i860 or the original. ...

Bad news here--burned through a bunch more paper trying various programs, settings and paper.  The best was through Lightroom 3 with all color management turned off for the printer driver, but it...

I can see that your PRO9000 print rendered properly.  Whether that means that my print on a PRO-100 is poor be cause of my fault or printer error is still in question.  I hope it's my mistake and...

Here's what I'm seeing:  IMGP0469b is the original.  The others are pretty accurate low-res scans of how the file prints on my i860 and my PRO-100.  The PRO-100 print is with color matching...

Update--At Canon's e-mail customer service line's direction, I printed a test pattern--no clogged heads, and printed an image using their Easy-photoprint EX software--still purple.  You have more...

Yes, tried that, too.  We're not talking about a minor magenta shift here--cool blues come out purple.  I've printed the same files on the same paper for years, using the i860 (LOVE that printer),...

I'm trying to calibrate my new PRO-100 received today and have EXACTLY the same problem.  My old Canon i860 has no problem with the blues, but this thing turns them purple.  The same thing happens...

As I'm sure others are saying, B&H currently will sell you a K-5iis with a Fa 43mm limited and a 77mm Limited for just about $2000 after rebates, which would give you a fantastic package for your...
