I just converted my da 300 f4 on a mac using my sons k-5.
No isssues except in textedit had to go to preferences and uncheck box "add txt extension". Then it worked fine.
On a side note. For those complaining they want to switch systems. I had two nikon afs 300 f4 af motors stop working in five years. Just sayin!
Thank you all for putting this info out there.

Thibs,That is so true!
If they don't improve autofocus to what most pentaxians believe it should be then it is not worth the huge price hike. My only Point.
That being said, I love my k-3II and the autofocus works good for me. I also have a nikon 7100 that is faster autofocus but not necessarily better.
For birds in trees and bushes the pentax usually wins.
For Bif its a toss-up which one produces the best image, but the nikon does acquire focus faster.

I remember when the K-5 came out with the biggest jump in sensor quality and was priced at $1599 body only. It took a few years before the price was low enough for me to afford.
I think that was the highest priced asp-c camera on rollout since. Does anyone know what the k-7 price was on rollout.?
If the Kaf comes out at 1800 ish I am hoping the price hike will correspond directly to the quality of autofocus and not to a lot of gimmicks that most won't use.
Though it too will probably take a few years before the price comes down enough for me to afford it.

aka united camera, Received a call today from my warranty company. They are out of business but are going to finish repairing equipment already sent in.
Just going to take longer. Considering the fact it took them 6 months for a previous repair this is not good news.

I have owned the Pentax da*300 f4 for 9 years, I never had an autofocus motor issue!!
I have owned the Nikon afs 300 f4 for 2 1/2 years and had autofocus motor issues for a year. Both bought used in mint condition and always in use.
It's all just a crap shoot!

What distinguishes a pixel shift image in lightroom? K-3II images.

My dignity is the only thing I own of value . No matter how big or how bad a company, I always maintain that.
I meant to say Integrity. After 30 years of marriage how much dignity can I have left after explaining how much I paid for camera equipment?

Of course, also made sure the flu card and battery was not a mistake.

I sent a used like new camera back to Roberts camera for an exchange( it was acting a little quirky). When they shipped back my exchange there was an address mixup. They immediately emailed me and explained what happened and that as soon as ups sent it back to them they would overnight it to me. Well, I received my camera today and to my surprise there was a Flu card and an extra battery and the camera had a shutter count of 4. All I can say about their costumer service is fantastic!!!:D

Nothing wrong with the k-3. If mine did not die, I would have not bought the k-3ll.

Thanks, Thats an understatement. It died 21/2 years ago and I brought it back to life. It worked normal with all other lenses until the camera died permanently a couple of weeks ago.

I just replaced my dead k-3 with a k3ll. My fa77 would not come close to reaching infinity focus on the k-3 but acts perfectly normal with the K3ll. Huh?? Not that I'm complaining!!!
