I have purchased a set of QualShot extension tubes and am having trouble getting them to work. I have the pentax adaptor and everything seems to fit together good, however, i just get a very very dark blurry screen on the viewfinder. I am in full manual mode..............just not working.............??????????????

Well Peter - you bring up some interesting thoughts for sure.
1) I have not been shutting of SR and i know that i should have ---- thx
2) Tripod is a $20.00 tripod that i found at a surplus place--- thx
3) Shutter speed was on track it seems 125, 250 and more.......thx
4) I was almost always at 400mm........i will try a bit less........thx
5) F-Stops where 4.5, 5 etc. .......i can try more open............thx
6) I think i was looking to really crop to bring the 400mm in really close.......thx
I think I could post more images but based on what you're saying - i need to clean some stuff up myself by the sounds of things. I am not able to post photos here that are very big anyways (1000 x 1000) roughly i think - i don't have much MB it seems.
Thanks for you expert advice - it helps and makes me feel better that it's like ME - (lol) not my lens.......back to the drawing board.

While i do understand the focus thing on the STUMP and that makes sense to me -- however i have a bunch of shots of chicks eating out of my kids hands as well and in those shots the bird should be in focus.........but again once i zoom in a couple times on these shots - the birds are out of focus. I can't imagine using this massive heavy lens without a tripod and i've been told that for the most part almost ALL pictures taken with this lens should be with a tripod.......
thx for you help, i appreciate the feedback on this particular issue. i can send more pics if it would help someone.

Hey all - appreciate some help with this. I got the new Sigma APO 120-400mm F4.5-5.6 DG OS HSM. I have been shoot birds in my back yard on a tripod (although a very cheap tripod) and i have been using the pentax remote. My problem is that every pictures that does turn out seems to be quite blurry when viewing it on my computer and hitting the zoom button a couple times. I guess i thought it would be nice to take some 400mm pictures - zoom and crop and have some nice photos. I haven't taken one picture yet with this thing that i would be happy zooming and cropping in with. I am not sure if it's me or what - i have absolutely NO experience with a lens this big. Again the pictures seem "Not Bad" until i hit the zoom a couple times on my camera or computer and then the subjects seems so out of focus????????/.............thx

I took some pictures of my daughters room my my K20D with my recently purchased Sigma 18-50 f/2.8 and 2 of her walls are purple and 2 are orange. The orange walls turned out mostly accurate but the purple walls cam out blue.......can anyone help here.......is this just to do with lighting and white balance??? I tried taking different shots at the various white balance settings on the camera..........?????
Thx

Just interested to know if any has done any Microstock Photography. I have a few pictures up on Fotolia but really am just wondering if it's really worth the amount of effort required. I am also worried about HAVING to shoot as opposed to WANTING to shoot. Just curious as to people's thoughts on this.............thx

I am not deciding between the K20D or the LENS. I am upgrading the LENS either way and just wanted to know if it was worthwhile to upgrade the body from the K200D to the K20D (at the same time)?????????
thx

Looking for some insight..............i currently own a K200D and considering upgrading to the K20D - i understand the K20D has 14 megapixels and that is good when enlarging and cropping and i know the sensor is cmos instead of CMOS sensor which is supposedly better than the K200D sensor (more lighting) - there are some other features that seem to be a upgrade, but i wonder if anyone can tell me whether or not it's a valued upgrade. Of course the salesperson thought so, but any thoughts would be welcome. I am upgrading from a Pentax 18-55 kit lens to a 18-50 f2.8 lens that should make a good difference in my photos to...............thx
