The K2000 comes in several different kits. The f3.5-5.6 18-55mm kit lens is one of Pentax’s new DA L series budget lenses, which the company says uses the same optics as the older models but uses less expensive construction. The most novel kits includes the lens and AF200FG flash; other versions widely available include body only, a typical kit with the 18-55mm lens, and a dual-lens kit with the 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses. The flash is naturally available separately as well. You can also get it in white directly from Pentax.

Though its has a compact, comfortable body which is smaller than all but the Olympus E-450, it’s also a bit heavier than its direct competitors. It has a nice, big grip to accommodate four AA-size batteries. Pentax doesn’t include a lot of connectors; under a cover on the left side is a proprietary video-out/PC connector and the right has an SD card slot. The camera has a pretty standard layout. The mode dial on top offers the usual handful of scene modes, with another slot that gives you access to more, plus PASM manual and semimanual exposure modes. The K2000 also has Pentax’s Sensitivity Priority mode, which allows you to select ISO sensitivity while shutter speed changes and aperture remains fixed; this is especially useful for homing in on appropriate settings for low-light shooting. A button near the mode dial works in conjunction with the back dial (dubbed the “e-dial”) for adjusting exposure compensation, or, in Manual mode, toggling the dial function between changing shutter speed and aperture.

The Help button next to it can be set for digital preview (an unsaved snapshot), Custom Image, digital filter, or a file format override. When used for Help, it provides a limited explanation for whatever buttons or menu items you select. On the camera back is the traditional four-way nav plus OK. As frequently found on a point and shoot, the buttons double as white balance, drive mode (high- and low-speed continuous, two self timers, and exposure bracketing of three shots in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments up to 2 EV), ISO sensitivity, and flash. While the K2000 supports wireless flash, the AF-200FG that ships in the bundle doesn’t. A relatively tiny AF/AE lock button sits on the back right shoulder of the camera where it’s easy to overlook.

Part 1 of 2: I used Loctite epoxy putty to make a removable frame to hold a wide angle lens on a Kodak Zi8 video camera. I used epoxy, because it is not affected by heat as much as the moldable plastic you can buy online. I did not glue anything directly to the camera, nor did I have to take it apart to add a magnetic ring like a popular lens mod from china, so no warranty was voided and no damage occured to the camera.

Knoll Light Factory allows you to create lights and lens flares in an unlimited number of ways. You can create hundreds of variations from uber-realistic flares based on real camera lenses to totally other worldly fantasy light effects.

This video compares it to the built-in Lens Flare filter in Photoshop. There’s not really much of a comparison since you only get 4 presets with the built-in filter and the only adjustment you can make is to the Brightness. But watch this short video and see for yourself! Go to www.digitalanarchy.com for more info.
