Night Vision Monocular

Never used night vision monocular with a DSLR, only with a video camera. I would imagine the only challenge would be mounting the NVG tube and working out where to mount the battery for it. One solution is to mount the tube on a solid mount secured to the camera tripod mounting screw recess and adjusting the height/distance of the tube to match the lens you are using. It will provide some challenges and the effort/reward ratio is dependent on what you want to achieve from it. Generation 3 tubes can be pretty expensive too, any earlier generation tubes will be quite grainy. Happy engineering!

Kevin I installed this firmware update to my new K20D about a week ago, mine too was V1.00 when I installed the new update. I feel I have slight improvement in AF speed. From what I have read and what I gleaned from the Pentax website is that the V1.03 is an all inclusive update, in other words there is no need to track down a V1.01/V1.02 update first.

Sick of AF complaints

I have only had my K20d for a few weeks and am delighted with it. I take a lot of photos of aircraft, front on and side on, including fast movers (f16, Mirage, Rafale, etc) and helicopters and am very happy with the speed of the autofocus. I haven't had a chance to see if there is any difference after updating the firmware but I am heartened by some of the feedback I have read in various forums.

I researched long and hard before making this purchasing decision as the minister of war and finance had to be convinced we were going to get real value for our outlay. I defy anyone to get a better feature set from any other camera in this price bracket.

I only joined this forum a short while ago in order to further my knowledge of my camera and photography in general and am surprised at the level of nastiness being directed between people of such closely shared interests. Most people reading this forum would embrace debate regarding the characteristics of this camera range but the quality of the debate is erroded by personal attacks/name calling/repitition of points.

As one contributer says at the bottom of each of his many posts, "Say something positive for a change. It won't hurt".
