Pentax, magazines and competitions
A while back someone commented that Pentax doesn't seem to get much of a look-in with magazines and competitions. I get "Black and White Photography" magazine which doesn't seem to suffer this bias as much as perhaps some others. This month, a runner up in the portfolio section uses a K10D with th...

I've noticed that Pentax (as a brand) seems to appeal more to photographers than gear-heads. As we can't spend all day bragging about having the fastest AF, the most FPS, the highest ISO or the biggest sensor we tend to fall back on that old quaint hobby of taking pictures instead. Then we lik...

After bidding on several Zeiss Sonnar 135/3.5's (and not being prepared to pay very much money for one, so losing out every time) I finally won one for the princely sum of £26.00. The description was poor (as was the photo) and I only spotted it with less than an hour to go so had no time to ask ...

I'm waiting for the weather to pick up a bit - can't muster any enthusiasm for outdoors and it's not really an indoors-y sort of lens (although it does focus down to 1m). 135mm does seem quite a nice length on digital though, I can now see the appeal of the DA*50-135 better than I could before ...

Pentax Focus Screen just £12 plus postage
Well I'd like to split postage but by the time you've actually posted it to me I suspect the saving might be minimal. Then again it might only be 70 pence or so to post in UK. Email direct if you like [email protected] - as it happens I'm in Barcelona at the end of the week but I doubt that helps a...

I suppose we would both save about £1.50 each which isnt really a lot .. unless anyone else would like to join in to make it worthwhile?

I ordered mine last night, never even thought about doing a group buy. Will let you know when it arrives, wanted the LL60 for a whilst now, I miss the rule of 3rd marks.

Pentax Focus Screen just £12 plus postage
what's the advantage with these screens ? apart from composition lines and being nice and new? Do they serve some other function? are they designed for manual focussing or something?

No they don't serve any other function. LF-60 is the standard screen that comes with the camera - to buy to replace a damaged one. LL-60 and LI-60 are the same but with different markings: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/ds-focus-screen.jpg For manual focusing: www.katzeyeoptics.com/cat--Penta...

Raw
Hi there, and welcome to the forum! I am not familiar with the software you mention, but my guess is that it is designed to edit JPG images as one might obtain from a point and shoot camera. The Raw images your DSLR produces contain more data than a JPG, and are often not supported by more basic ...
