I'm an amatur

Hi
I'm an amateur fotos who loves nature . When I was a child I took the butterflies, but now I'm doing it alright. I'm a beekeeper. I am also interested in the bird.
Photographer story : Roll film Practica BX20 about 1990 -this is a German brand
2002 Olympus C-740
2004 Olympus E 400 17,5-45 3,5/5,6 -it's working Sigma 55-200 bad.
2016 Canon D1300 basis lens 18-55 and Canon EFS 24 2,8 STM
other lenses Helios 44-2 M42 Tefnon 35-70 macro M42 Super Komura 90-250 M42
2017 change D1300 to D800 The replacement didn't bring what I expected. I was disappointed with Canon
2019 Pentax K-70 lenses K mount SMC100 f/4 macro SMC K 300 f/4
I like the manual mode .
For now, this Pentax machine is a mistake in dust in Focusing Screen AF Frame.

Hi József and welcome to the forums

The K-70 is a fine camera indeed.

If you have dust on your focusing screen, it's possible you could remove it using just a bulb blower (if it's on the bottom). Alternatively, it's relatively easy to remove the focusing screen so you can blow any dust from the inner side. If this is something you want to try, let us know and we'll help guide you. Otherwise, most competent camera service facilities can do this for you easily. That said, it's probably best just to ignore it, since it doesn't affect your photos. I have a couple of dust specs in my K-3 viewfinder right now. At some point I'll get around to dealing with it, but it doesn't bother me...

Looking forward to your involvement here

Kedves @József!

Welcome to Pentax Forums from Canada. Thank you for your interesting introduction. Perhaps you will post some macro images of your bees?

Hi
I've already done it.There is no result, and even after vacuuming, he didn't want to turn it on.
Thanks

The Vivitar 500mm I have is optically very good, but ergonomically not so much. It's a T-mount, so needs an adapter. This is an area of concern, as a little misalignment can cause problems. It's also very, very big and heavy, so it's very difficult to use hand-held. It's also balanced for a film-era camera, and with a digital body knocks the center of gravity back from the tripod mount. An aftermarket tripod mount ring probably solves that if you can find one which works. Since it's so big and not the fastest lens, it's difficult to judge focus.

In short, I haven't really had the patience to use this vintage lens to its full potential. I think it could be fantastic if someone wants to put the time and effort into it. It's beautiful and I have taken a few nice images with it, but probably can do much better with my DA300. There may be a more secure T-to-K mount adapter available, I haven't been motivated enough to investigate.

I'd actually consider selling it, if someone really wants to put the effort into it.
