Auto-Focus * Front and back focusing charts updated. The good news is that it's still free.

 Hi Photographer friends,

Do you have front or back focusing problems with some of your lenses or DSLR? You could spent in excess of One hundred dollars to get a manufactured lens aligning devices, or get mine for free. It does the same job and it cost nothing.

Why would I give it away? I love photography and I made some great cyber friends through my blogsite.  It's my way to contribute a little, and help up and coming photographers. It can help Advanced and Pro Photographers as well. 

For almost six years, my AF charts have been downloaded all over the world. The charts are downloaded on an average of five hundred times everyday. It was originally designed for the Pentax K20D, but I updated the charts by deleting any camera specific instructions, and by revising images and some of the instructions. I believe it is more user friendly than before. You be the judge. The charts (3) are now all inclusive in one downloadable package and are for every brands of DSLR cameras such as Pentax, Nikon, Canon, Sony, Olympus, and all other brands that have the capability of adjusting the AF settings of each of your lenses. Let your friends, that use other brand of camera than yours, know about the charts.

Download the Charts here right now.

Thank you for following my blogsite for the last six years.

1. For those who haven't read the manual 

   Posted by Paul on 19th Aug 2012
   The only ebook available for the K-5 is written in an easy to read style. Images and discussion of controls is effective. Password protection meand that I can't open the ebook on my ereader. Would be great to be able to do that...

2. Learn what the official manual won't tell you 

   Posted by Colin Rayner on 16th Jul 2012
   I purchased my first DSLR and struggled to learn how to use it other than as a point and shoot, while relying on the Pentax manual that camera with it. Then I came across this eBook and finally was able to start using the excellent directions within. I recommend it to anyone who wants to use the K-5 as it should be. First Class

3. finally 

   Posted by Ulrich Schwenk on 4th Jun 2012
   I'm not a native speaker but I try to give a feedback in english. I had only some peeks into the book but gosh everything is there!
   At last also the issue is mentioned which frustrated me at the beginning of my digital photographic life.
   Here is the first book which has a whole chapter about FRONT/BACK-focus and explains how to deal with.
   Thank you very much from the old world (Germany)

1. get useful tips and tricks 

   Posted by Klemi on 18th Sep 2012
   If you want to have more fun with your K30 get this eBook.
   You can of course read the usermanual from the first to the last page but you will not get that much information and useful tips from a pro.
   Easy to read and to understand at a fair price.
   
   Cheers Klemi

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

The Pentax K-5II and K-5IIs will be shipping this Month. The K-5 e-book has been updated for the K-5II and K-5IIs.

 Hi Photographer friends,

The Pentax K-5II and K-5IIs will be shipping this Month.

Both versions of the K-5II and K-5IIs are built around a new high-sensitivity CMOS sensor, paired with the latest PRIME II imaging processor. That gives it a native ISO range from 100-12800, but it can be xpanded down to 80 and up to 51,200. The AF sensor has also been upgraded with an operating range from -3 EV up to 18 EV.

High quality LCD monitor with outstanding visibility outdoors

The K-5 II includes a 3.0 inch, wide-view, air-gap-free LCD display with approximately 921,000 dots for excellent visibility when outdoors. Situated between the front glass panel (which is coated with an anti-glare film) and the LCD screen is a unique resin layer that alleviates the reflection and dispersion of light to effectively prevent ghost images and maintain image brightness. The LCD cover is also made of tempered glass to keep it free of scratches and abrasions.

Anti-aliasing filter-free feature of the K-5 IIs

The K-5 IIs is offered without an anti-aliasing filter, which is commonly found in many DSLRs to smooth computer generated imagery by decreasing high frequencies and distortion, but adversely reduces detail resolution. Without this filter, the K-5 IIs creates deeply rich, detailed imagery at supreme resolution levels.

Pricing and Availability

The new PENTAX K-5 II will be available at retail outlets nationwide this Month with a suggested retail price of $1,199.95 for body only, $1,349.95 for the K-5 II kit including the DA 18-55mm WR zoom lens and $1,549.95 for the K-5 II kit including the DA 18-135mm WR zoom lens. The K-5 IIs will also be available at retail outlets nationwide and online in October with a suggested retail price of $1,299.95 for body only

The updated version of our K-5 e-book will also be available this Month, to coincide with the availability of the K-5II and K-5IIs. The price of the e-book will remain the same as the K-5, at $14.95. It will be available on our e-store.
