Nice shots Vuk. Is that the FA 50mm f/1.4? If so, I have the same lens and I love it.

My wife had a K1000 and it has since been sold to her sister where it collects dust in her closet. I might borrow it one day and play with it a bit. I haven't really ever shot film, so it should be.........interesting.

I agree. I have the FA f/1.4 AF lens also, and it's sharp as a tack.

LOL ignore the rel="nofollow", it stuck that in there on me and screwed up my links as I didn't pick HTML. :)

Yvon, here's the code:

This is what I did for my post above:

Remember to change the box below to HTML or it will just show up like this.

Nice pics Yvon :)

 

BTW, I received your K10D book last week. Nice job. It taught me several things as the used K10D I bought last month never came with a manual.

 

As for encorporating pictures, you just used html code but you have to change the box below your text box to read "The above text is HTML" instead of "The above text is Plain Text" (I just learned that tonight myself).

Thanks. It was one of those spur of the moment snaps I will probably never repeat. I was just trying to get a pic of her standing in the sun and she reached out unprompted right as I took the pic.

Ah thanks!

Damn. I gotta learn how to post pics here.

Nice shot. :)

 

Here is a pic of my daughter, she is about 16 months old now.

Heh Renato, mine is the ZD8015. It runs fine, but it runs HOT and it weighs about as much as a small planet.

I am running 1440x900 on my 17" HP POS laptop.

Wow, that's um........noisy. :)

Ah it sounds like like my experiences with the K100D. I had CONSTANT crap appearing in my pics from random stuff on the sensor. I blew/cleaned it constantly and a few days later, more stuff. It's almost like the sensor on the K100D ATTRACTS junk. I also had dust appearing on the focus screen like you, but my trusty can o' air got rid of it.

 

Oddly enough, I have since sold my K100D and bought a K10D and haven't had a dirt/dust issue since. Go self cleaning sensor!

Great pics. I love the color. I wish it was that bright here so I could get some bird shots that nice. :)

Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it like any other lens that requires stop-down metering whereas the aperature is always open until the camera stops it down?

Hahahahaha Once the seed of doubt is planted, it grows quickly. :p

The K10D has been known to have had auto focus issues in the past which can be corrected provided you have the original firmware installed. I checked mine today with the focus chart and it SEEMS to be ok.

If your shutter speed is any slower than your focal length, you will get blur, EG if you are shooting at 200mm and your shutter speed is slower than 1/200th. Anti shake SHOULD give you a stop or so though, it does on my K10D. Also, are you shooting JPEG or RAW? The K10D JPEGs are soft at the default settings.

This seems to be the best I can do with this one:

Yea, I had a heck of a time trying to expose for the eagle with the bright, overcast sky in the background. I will try and fix them in PS when I get a min. :)

I haven't used one myself, but I have heard the same complaints you mentioned.

I just ordered a Sigma EF-530 DG Super flash from Adorama because of what I read here. I WAS going to get the AF-540, but after reading this thread..........hell no.

I have the same problem with my K10D and Tokina 80-400mm. The Camera's IR focusing needs a decent amount of contrast difference to focus properly. If you are focusing in low light on objects of low contrast, it will hunt.
