Pentax users from India?

Sudhakar · 02-09-2010, 08:40 PM

@Aditya,

I had opened up a thread earlier on social groups for the same question. Madhur replied there also. Have a look

madhurvyas · 02-10-2010, 05:37 AM

Just posted an article about unlocking the AMD PhenomIIx2 cpu.https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/general-talk/89878-unlocking-phenomiix2-555be.html
Methods are available on net but I did it successfully so thought of posting it

@whatzisnem: You're welcome. He stocks new equipment and is Benro's sole distributor in India. I strongly recommend the Benro lineup of tripods and heads. They are relatively cheap, very well built and as good as any of the big brands (personal opinion).

@Madhur and Sudhakar: Thanks guys :-)

whatzisnem · 02-10-2010, 10:23 PM

Thank you , Aditya . Will def check up on him. They have a decent website.

how many of you will shoot colors of holi?
should we make a separate thread after holi where we post all images

It is very rare to see Pentax stuff in India ebay.

However I found some old stuff being sold currently (as of today when I posting this message, things may change when you click on this link later or in future). Ebay.in + Pentax. Fish eye lens looks interesting but pretty expensive $200 approximately.

madhurvyas · 02-16-2010, 03:33 AM

Now without paypal, its hard to purchase from US but still anybody with contacts in US can have a look

17 mm fish eye looks tempting, price is ok I think as this is the avg sale price in the forum.
but he doesnt include the m42-PK convertor.

In last few days this guy has sold a nice lens, PK50 f/1.2 for around 3K, its quite cheap.
anybody with money & LBA should grab the 17mm. I only have LBA left, LBA took the second one from me.

the climate is very different from what is here. Do i need to buy any protection gear for the camera? esp for the dust

madhurvyas · 02-16-2010, 05:57 PM

Welcome Rahul to our small but growing community

You are currently in cold weather, where you would be arriving in India?
I dont think dust would affect much if you dont change lenses in open areas.

rahulz5 · 02-17-2010, 12:08 AM

mypentaxticworld · 02-17-2010, 12:16 AM

Santosh

madhurvyas · 02-17-2010, 08:19 AM

My hometown is quite nice in winters, current temp are 6-20C, during Jan they go near zeroC. Still not any way near to temps in northern US.

During summer they will go up to 48-50C.
I know there's no cold weather in Southern India, still bangalore is nice all year around.
