Second camera needed (Help required)
Ok heres the deal, I need honest advice and opinions as always. Please set aside the Pentax biased views. At the moment I am working along side a pro photographer as a second shooter for weddings. I have just done a mainly candid shoot on Sunday and wiill post the images when the party have there...

This 'taking pictures in church' thing. Loud AF is a non-issue. Focus manually, or if you're so incompetent you can't do that, even with such static subjects as a couple taking their vows, focus manually almost to the focus point, and let the AF finish the job - even without SDM it's virtually...

i think you will not like the d80 as its more difficult to use being menu driven a friend bought one and within a week took it back in favour of an ist dl2 and was blown away, he then sold all his nikon gear and converted to pentax.the k10d is a much better camera more like the ist d in quality and ...

Look the idea is not to sell the camera just get a second. Not my point exactly. Just that I really think you would be putting yourself in a difficult position if you were to try to fund gear for two brands of cameras. If for some reason Pentax did not make a kit that you can live with, my sugges...

the Tamrom 18-250 and the mechanical focusing rings on the lens seem a hell of a lot quieter than the 18-50 Pentax and the 50-200mm unless its my imagination. Well the Pentax 18-50 certainly is your imagination. What are you talking about, "mechanical focusing rings"? Are you talking...

Second camera needed (Help required)
To be quite honest with you Pete - having seen the pictures you posted from your first wedding shoot I'd have thought that your primary concern shouldn't really be with the noise your current equipment makes but instead working at your technique using your existing equipment. Having only ever sho...

Anyway the slapping of the shutter mirror is one issue but I can live with it. Im talking about the whirring noise coming from the lens when focusing. The tamron 18-250mm seems a lot quieter. Well I think you're nuts. AF noise, and indeed mirror-slap, are only an issue in very quiet places. ...

Pete, Here's my honest opinion. You are very immature. You always think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Whatever you have, you always think there is something better out there. If you continue in your present vein, throwing money away, you soon won't be able to afford...

You are very welcome to have it back if you promise to behave sensibly. :shock: How many have you got, George?

I went to a wedding on Saturday. The Canon using photographer was winding me up because he had the focus-confirmation beep switched on. "Beep beep beep, beep beep beep, beep beep beep, click" Wasn't the shutter/mirror noise that was intrusive. I was thinking along the same lines ...

No Kidding
I'm convinced it will be a couple of new bodies/improvements to existing bodies, and some previously announced lenses coming to market. Maybe a bombardment of product hitting the store shelves. We are slaves to our addiction, which makes us slaves to Pentax's supply. Just back from Oshkosh, I ...

No Kidding
Just back from Oshkosh, I will say I really, really, really want a lens to replace my FA 80-320mm that isn't as soft. Really happy with the K10D. Still waiting to see some pictures!!!

Another hello (on the fence)
Hi, my last proper SLR camera was an EOS5 and before that one I had Nikons. They were very good cameras but before coming to UK I sold them. I used them for parties and weddings. When moved to UK I sold the lot and quit photography (no one seems to get married here where I live). Having a new ch...

Another hello (on the fence)
Pentax designed the Limited lenses to be better than anything else. They are superbly constructed and are amongst the best lenses ever made. Really, only some Zeiss and Leitz lenses can be compared with them. There are two varieties of Limited lenses. The original three were designed during th...

Make my mind up time.
Thank you George, would get it with the kit lens & Sigma 70mm macro or if I can pick up a Pentax 100 mm macro at a good price. Dave The manual focus Pentax 100mm macros are very good, and not stratospherically priced. Ebay is the place to find them. You don't need AF with macro. G

Make my mind up time.
Well, apart from the discussion on scene modes and the choice of a K10D over another Pentax camera, I can recommend the latest Tamron 90 mm macro lens. I recently bought it and my considerations for buying this lens instead of Sigma, Pentax or something else were: 90 mm gives (generally) enoug...
