do you ever find yourself wishing......
In theory you could design a relacement back that contained the CCD and all the electronics, but in practice there could be huge difficulties. e-film did have a prototype that fitted like a film, but it never materialised commercially. I prefer the new DSLRs as they are - fully integrated designs...

Another "hello, I'm new" post
Hi everyone I have been lurking in this forum for over a week now, and I figured it was time I came out of the shadows. This is going to be kind of rambling, and probably not too interesting but hey, at least you'll know why I am here and why I am clueless. I'm actually a totally new Pentax...

Another "hello, I'm new" post
Hi Drew Thanks for the welcome! I like it here already - read a lot of it in the past 2 weeks going quite far back... The one time i had to make a claim with that company 4 years ago they just sent a cheque, didn't ask for any proof what i did with it. They paid "for new" prices f...

tripod advice..update
ok, a while back I mentioned Gerri's Giottos tripod (i looked but cannot find it). I think its an mt9170 Here's an update: a little knob on the tripod post collar fell off.

Atricious spulling mistokes! ! !
Some people genuinely have a problem with spelling and I wouldn't want to put them off contributing. As long as we can understand what they are saying we can take on board their comments. There are indeed quite a few common mistakes, and "lense" is one of them It is and always has been ...

Your Favourite Magazine
I used to get AP every week, for Mike Maloney's section mainly, and then didn't buy it for years. Then a couple of months ago I got about two years of back issues from the local library, that were just going for recycling, and it's still a good read. I don't think I'd buy it now, as there isn't re...

Background Stands
Thanks Don and Simon for your response. Don, I like your idea and have been putting some thought into how I could make make something "fold-up" portable (god knows I've got enough plumbing materials left over from many renos). A friend has also suggested those transport load securing ...

Background Stands
Just to expand on Don's always excellent advice. If you're only shooting face or torso shots, consider using just your slide screen with an assortment of small, dyed bedsheets (Tie-dyed if you remember the 60's). I've been getting away with this rig for years - and it's portable. I find that t...

CBA interferes with Christmas shopping!
A little Yuletide shopping tale, & news of a possible bargain for someone. Yesterday I found myself in the unenviable position of having to do all my Christmas shopping in one day (having changed jobs & therefore being without money all month until Friday). Anyhow, I got off to a blisteri...

Dilemma - Should I abandon film, or not?
I WANT to be shooting more film, I like the stuff... LOTS - got thru over 60 rolls of 120 in a week long trip to Scotland back at the end of Oct but despite lugging 2 35mm bodies with me I only used 2 rolls of Provia 400 and 1 roll of B&W. I never thought it would get to this stage and I nev...

Heck, I was so embarrased, I took myself out and re-enlisted so I could set my count back to zero. That and I totally messed-up changing my profile when I got a new email address. - Doh! Actually, I had over 5000 posts and had reached "God" status. Really. Ask George. :P Chee...

Focus on Imaging 2007
Perhaps we can arrange an informal meet up at the Pentax User stand sometime. That might not be a bad idea, give a few of us the chance to put faces to names. Not sure when I'm going down yet, but I'll let you all know so you can go on different days LOL
