No! No!
Do _not_ measure with a cheap volt meter!
Many cheap voltmeters are not very high ohmic.
As a result it will "load" the trigger voltage point of the flash,
reducing the measured voltage.
This is specifically true for the flashes with high voltage, they mostly
have a high impedance input c

Wouldn't it be nice if this info was visible on camera for manual
adjustment, or even better an select-able auto focus mode with

that why it hunts now and than: to throw the AF between minimum and
maximum focus distance and interpolate values in between?:-)

Igor, I had exactly the same experience with that 17-70 on my K5.
Now for K1,I use often the Sigma 28-105/2.8-4 that I bought long ago for
my Z-1.
I hope Sigma will make their 24-105 available for Pentax, and I am very
curious how the IQ of that lens would be compared to Pentax 28-105 and

I saw the advantage of square mode, in using the full image circle of
APS-C lenses, without the need of going to FF and cropping in post
processing. As such the file size would increase w.r.t. APS-C mode. If
it is not like that, I will be disappointed.

I tested crop mode as follows:
K-1 with Sigma APS-C lens 8-16mm @ 16 mm
(@ 16mm the Sigma covers FF)
3 pictures of bookshelves filled with books:
FF gives 44.5 MB
APS-C mode gives 22.2 MB
1:1 mode gives 45 MB
So Mark Roberts suggestion is right: the camera adds just a cropping
specification to
Larry, thank you very much for this warning.
K1 sensor sees so well in the dark, I did not use my 58AF2 yet.

I came to following observations:
1. With FF lens and K1 in 1:1 cropmode makes little sense as indicated
by others.
2. With APS-C lens and K1 in 1:1 cropmode, there can be the advantage
of using the whole image circle.
3. However, many lenses do not offer the whole image circle to the

At the moment I take a photo, I know where I am, but later I donot
remember the name of the street or the temple or what ever.
So I write down some info, sometimes.
But I would be s happy if I could switch on the mike on my K7 and
add some remarks.
Why not a few kb of audio added to all the
Waw, why not Pentax? This kind of features cost nothing, just a bit of
software!

Hi Paul, nice shot. Did you use the single focus mode or contineous

All my Pentaxes had difficulties with fast moving subjects, like big
birds flying over my head at rather near distance, like in demonstrations.
No time to select focus point, I get best results (1 out of 10 is

Nice one to make your goldplated MX: take the caps off, remove the
remaining paint and give to one of those companies for a thin (or thick
if you are rich) gold layer.
