I was playing with it last night & it seemed to be fine! I am going to see wht happens when I go outside & take a few pics. I only had it for a week! I love this lens...I was so excited when I got it!
If it is SDM failure, why would this happen? How much would it cost to fix?
Thanks for your replies!

I just bought a used Pentax 50-135 2.8 lens from another photographer....I love this lens! But today during a photoshoot outside, it was not focusing. I had to switch lenses! Why would it so this? Is there a setting in my k-7 that I should set it too? I was so ticked off...ugh! I was not to close to my subject & when I would switch it to manual focus, it still wouldn't focus! Please HELP!!
Thank you!

Hi Y'all, I hope I am posting this in the right thread! I purchased a matech digital lux meter about a year or so ago. I could not figure it for the life of me. I moves on to some other things & forgot about it. Well, I have been hearing more that light meters should be used.I never used mine, b/c I can not figure the darn thing out!
Does anyone know how to use it & what do these numbers mean? Am I missing something here? Please forgive for posting a dumb question!
Thank you :)

Just curious as what Pentax for professional use you find the BEST?
What do you find the best for Weddings?
I personally love my k-7, but have not experienced many more!

I did remove the batteries as well as the memory cards. I also put new batteries & memory card in too.No luck! I waited for a few days & still nothing!
Should I get it fixed? Is it worth it?
I mainly shoot with my k-7, so I only use the ist DL for my second shooter & my daugters' use it around the house to take pics & my daugh that assist me. Not sure what to do.
Thanks for y'all input!!

Hello! I haven't used this camera in a long while..but when I got set up for my second shooter to use it a session with me,it took pictures, but nothing comes up on the LCD screen. I can not set any of the settings at all. I changes memory cards, replaced batteries, changed lens & shut off (for a few minutes) then back on! Nothing! What is the problem?
Thank God I have my k-7, but the istD is my back up! Is it worth getting fixed or should I just buy another back up?
Thanks in advance :0 Debra

I appreciate all of your advice on this. I will check out the link!
I have been researching on some lenses & hopefully will find the right lens to use. I have shot weddings before, but not in a church.I have an external flash & I do know how to use it...but my concern was low light situations. I want to take some captures w/out flash.
I thought about renting a lens...& that may still be an option! I have a zoom lens already 70-300 f3.5..that will be on my backup camera. I will let you know what I come up with..I know I have a few months..but just want to get my gear in order so I ma not overwhelmed!! Thanks again y'all:)

Thank you so much for your help & advice! I have shot pics in a church before with a 50 mm 3.5 & they were pretty good, however with being paid, I want to make sure I have the best lens that will do the best in low light:) I do have a spare body that I will use in addition & also I will be having a second shooter to help me. I am pretty excited about this!!! Thank y'all again!!!

Hello Y'all, I am shooting my first Church wedding in September..so I know I need a fast lens. I have researching some lenses & I have found one that may work on Amazon! It can be found here! If not, what would you recommend?
I would love some input on this & would appreciate it so much!

Have a great day y'all:) ~Debra

I am playing around with it..and yes I have a kit lens & also 3 other lenses as well! It did come with the stepping rings (I did have some already) This fisheye has a macro lens that is detachable & when I use it on my lens, it is all blur...will not focus at all! Not sure what is up with that! I appreciate all of your help. I definitely will be playing with it. If you know anything about the detachable macro, please let me know!
Thanks again guys!

Hi Y'all, Happy new Year!!
I recently just purchased Opteka 0.35 x AF HD2 fisheye lens. I am trying to search for camera settings for this lens & having no luck. The lens did not come with instructions at a;; & I went to the site to see if their were any tutorials.
I have a k-7 & it is compatible with my camera. Does anyone have any experience with this would not mine helping me!!
Here is the link: Opteka 0.35x High Definition II Wide Angle Panoramic Macro Fisheye Lens for Digital Cameras
Thank you in advance:)

Thank you all for your help...I really appreciate all the input you put in this for me to get a better understanding of my camera. Although I love the k-7, I am still trying to get use to all the settings..it is very different than the istD. I will print out all these comments & start playing with my camera!! Thanks again!!

Thank you for your reply..I meant to say mode! On my istD it does have a macro mode. I used it all the time! I figured as much that I would need to adjust the settings and/or use a lens. Like I said before, I am still getting use to this camera. I appreciate your help:) Thanks again!!!
