Samsung terminates GX
Any more inf on that? I've got 3 Pentax primes and a 60-250 zoom. If I could adapt those to a Canon body I might just get one to go with my GX20. They would be manual focus and exposure only, and you'd need lenses with aperture rings if you wanted to have any control of the aperture. So that would ...

but it IS a more prestigiuos car . I think I would see Pentax as the Skoda to Canon as the Audi. Same if not better , but certainly better value. Howard I've never quite got the prestige thing with cars, they all seem a form of(very expensive)white goods to me. I agree about the cameras and of...

I found this discussion very amusing and have to say that I agree that Pentax is a ‘better’ product than Canon and Nikon in some ways just as Canon and Nikon are ‘better’ products in their own way. I the far past I used both Pentax and Canon and enjoyed both, but I did find the Pentax Spotamatic II...

Well Koenigsegg (makers of expensive supercars) have recently bought Saab, which is the equivalent of Hasselblad stepping in to buy Pentax. ...and my name's already down for the new 1018hp Saab 9-5. Or was that just a dream I had..? :lol: I'd love Saab to go back to their roots and start producin...

No More Samsung GX
As others have pointed out, lens prices are lower in some other markets. When the *ist D appeared, it was priced at £1,400. I imported my first one from Canada for £900. Same with my Z1-P. Recently we have been used to Pentax prices in the UK being competitive, but sadly it seems we are bac...

Recently we have been used to Pentax prices in the UK being competitive, but sadly it seems we are back in rip-off territory again. G I will say they were not only competitive! When I counted in good exchange rate dkr vs. £ it was pretty much half price! Now UK prices are slightly higher than Dan...

Canon would get my vote: you can use M42 and almost all K mount glass. I suspect the 7D may also be at the same level as the Nikons for low light performance. Otherwise, I think from limited experience Canon handling is better than Nikon. I thought Nikon could use M42 and K mount with an adapter? N...

Mike, the adapters for Nikon include an element to correct for infinity focus, so not the best quality unfortunately.

Mike, the adapters for Nikon include an element to correct for infinity focus, so not the best quality unfortunately. Thats a shame, am I right in thinking my Adaptall 2 lenses would work ok on anything above a D200 with the correct mount though?

I mean why get new one if current one isnt out of date ? The current one is always out of date. Personally I want more megapixels so I can crop harder, focus compensation and better autofocus. Being a K10D user I can get all of those things with a K20D but if I can afford to jump a model and g...

Well, to be fair, it's not about grammar, it was more of an apparent 180 degree shift in opinion, then back again when you agreed with Mike. I'm sure you were actually agreeing with the third paragraph of John's post, but it was just unfortunate that it could be taken out of context. I suppose...

Indeed , I should have learned from other websites that one does tend to get "jumped on" if one isnt careful what they say. I will make of point restricting my posting to things I am more qualified to talk about :) Sorry if I was a little blunt. I was just somewhat confused by the asking of opinion...

K20D metering
Hi all, Just an interesting thing that came to me in a bit of inspiration... having read about the Leica M9 and the issues that beset the M8. Had to test it first, but the K20D meter is sensitive to IR :shock: Try this: * Darkish room * Spot metering, Av mode * Take a remote control and po...

K20D metering
Just to add a little more info to my previous post (in case it was confusing!)... The Leica M8 has big issues with Infra-Red (IR) bleeding which seriously affected the image quality. M8 users had to put an IR-cut filter on the front of the lens to resolve the issue. Thankfully for those rich enou...

K20d LCD question
It's either 11x or 14x... I did some tests a while back to determine the exact 1:1 point. explains my findings on page 3. (If you're interested, I created a single pixel line in Photoshop then managed to get the JPG image back into the K20D so it could view it.) HTH! Matt
