K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
George. Sorry for the error. Nothing mysterious about minds having senior moments. Most of us old folk have them now and again. You are way off base with the snotty English comment. I was born, raised and educated in the London area. Moved to the USA in 1963. So unless we spoke some African...

K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
stevejcoe. I don't know the import duties charged in Europe maybe that's another reason you pay higher prices for just about everything, plus of course your high VAT. If you are right in your assumption that big bad USA is doing so well regarding low consumer pricing due to price gouging of Eu...

Hellterskelter. However how long will the dollar be down ? With the size of our market it doesn't matter. I can assure you there is plenty of buying power here and manufacturers know it. Another problem is you guys only seem to gripe amongst yourselves. You need to vote with your pocketbook...

Hi RG When you said: "My wife was in the UK last March and could not believe the cost of just about everything. Her comment to me when she got back was, "quote" My god how do those people live over there" ? Having lived in England for well over 50 years, I often ask my...

K10 and K100 Super Rebates in the US
Hi Kim I am bearing in mind that this is after all a photographic forum, but when you said it: "Seems we are getting back to politics". It is all too easy to conveniently forget about the hard-working human being who is physically producing the photographic products that we all li...

New Girl Photoshoot
3's definitely the outstanding shot. The models face is quite soft in no.1 - can't quite tell if it's subject movement or the focus point is the cause.

Came back to Pentax
Hello everyone! I am back! Not only back to this forum but also back to Pentax. I purchased a K10d after having gone to Nikon. The D80 is a nice camera, however I had major lens lust and couldnt swing the better lenses. The K10d made sense because of the built-in IS and the fact that I can use legac...

Came back to Pentax
I use the 16-45mm almost all the time. The f4 aperture doesn't really become an issue as the ISO can be changed as necessary. I'll even do hand held night shots if the need arises. It's a brilliant lens.

Came back to Pentax
Now my question.....I know that I want one of those Pancake lenses. I love those little lenses even tho I have not yet tried one. Just that the size is so appealing. Hello-I agree with your comments re the Pancake lens-after years of trying, I finally got one of the old 40 mm manual ones from eBay,...

Minolta 85mm f1.7 lens on a Pentax-mount camera...
Since I used to have Minolta gear back when Noah was recruiting various pairs of animals for his Ark, I've got the inevitable cupboard full of gear that doesn't work in this digital age... One of the items is an MC Rokkor 85mm f1.7 lens that was absolutely excellent for portraits. I wondered whe...

Minolta 85mm f1.7 lens on a Pentax-mount camera...
Yes, infinity is not possible, the furthest it will focus is 3 or 4 metres due to the depth of the mount. And it has to be stopped-down manually, although I'd probably use it wide-open if I used it at all...

Remote switch for a K100D.
[quote="gartmore"]Indeed, very easily done. I knocked this one up in half an hour from easily obtainable components from Maplins :wink: Very cool, but does it support half-press for auto focus? 8)

Remote switch for a K100D.
Very cool, but does it support half-press for auto focus? Of course and it will put out the trash also. :lol: The only downside is it won't store away in your battery grip :(
