RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
You keep saying dont take this thread to seriously & it is a light hearted discussion but it is you that included the quote in your original post "thats a challenge to photographers who shoot RAW because they have no idea about how to operate their camera!!" Now when I see a quote like that on...

RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
Personally, I shoot JPG with only occasional forays into RAW land, as my interests always evolves around attempting to achieve a certain look to an image whilst on a photo shoot. That's the fun part for me, not in the PP stage. Also, because I want to spend as little time in PP as possible, it mea...

RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
I think being able to change WB after the shoot is enough even on it's own to make it worthwhile. I can't imagine going back to not shooting in RAW. the wrokflow can be as big or small as you want - lightroom , whilst for me taking a long time to get to grips with even the basics, makes it all ve...

RAW or JPG shootout (handbags at dawn)
I think being able to change WB after the shoot is enough even on it's own to make it worthwhile. I can't imagine going back to not shooting in RAW. So can someone enlighten me (excuse the pun), if I am not changing the white balance when I apply a White Balance Adjustment in software to an out-of...

Screen protection for K-7
I never had one for my K20 and after three years I sold the camera in mint condition so keeping it scratch free can be done. My brother managed to scratch his K200 somehow so when I got the K-5 I thought it prudent for the sake of £2.50 to get the film protectors. Belt buckles and/or buttons can scr...

Why is the KR so much more popular than the K7?
Hi, I had a KX, upgraded to the K7, which I love, even if it's not great in high ISO settings. It just has so many extra external buttons and switches which makes me think about settings, focus areas etc more as they're 'right there'. Also the top panel mini screen is very handy for quick glancing ...

Why is the KR so much more popular than the K7?
I upgraded to the KR from the KX having come back to Pentax after owning a Canon G9. I never considered the top models, although the K5 at a then high RRP had already replaced the K7 anyway back last April when I was buying. All reviews around December 2010 had said the High ISO/low noise perform...

Why is the KR so much more popular than the K7?
I had a K10D for years, I bought a K-R just before Christmas, its gone back as the front focus in low light was awful (on mine anyway). I also missed the top LCD, front dial, and instant access to metering modes. I've just ordered a used K7, hopefully I'll be happier with that. The High ISO of th...

Telescope adaptor
Looking at the Meade site, an adapter appears to be needed to provide a T-thread connection on the ETX-90. You can find a description of this adapter (Meade 64ST Adapter #07366 for photography with the Meade ETX-60, ETX-70 and ETX-80 models) . There after, a Pentax K-mount to T-thread adapter wi...

Mains AC adapter kit K-AC50 for K5
Surely the battery will last long enough for most needs Nass needs it for macro stacking. Any table top use with the LV will flatten a battery in a couple of hours. - Yeah, I should have bought one months ago but the price is criminal. It's actually most useful for me in the adjustment stage, ge...

K5 Dust Removal, Action.
I was surprised at the quiet buzz from my new K5 after my KR. The KR sensor needed blow brush cleaning regularly and like my earlier KX keeping dist out of the Pentamirror was hard! Also for the K5 the lack of shutter and mirror sound was what impressed me along with the huge 100% viewfinder! ...

My kx died, I am skint is a k10d a good idea?
Having used a GX-10 (KD-10) for 3yrs, a K-5 for a year, and having played briefly with a K-x, my comments are as follows (for what they are worth!): 1) GX-10 has a larger and clearer viewfinder than the K-x (and in some ways is clearer than the K-5!) 2) Rear panel button layout on the rear of the ...
