Digital LX anyone ?
Reading through various posts on the forum the subject of the "Digital LX, MX, ME, Super A" get touched on from time to time, so I thought I'd start a discussion about it. I have always loved Pentax cameras from this era and would dearly love to have a digital camera that looks and feels just like o...

Digital LX anyone ?
A digital LX would be difficult to make because you'd have to solve the problem of the way digital sensors reflect light first. True TTL flash metering works the same way as the LX's OTF metering and is notoriously inacurate on the few digital SLRs which actually suport it. This was "solved" for fla...

Digital LX anyone ?
Then why not simply chisle off the decals from a K7 and write LX-D there instead? If a digital LX didn't replicate the film LX in function then it would simply be re-using the name. Nothing outright wrong with that in marketing terms, but it wouldn't be an LX anymore than the new budget body is ...

Digital LX anyone ?
I used to think a digital LX would be a good idea after using a *1stD and latter the K10D. But I think the K-7 is getting fairly close to the old LX magic. I really did miss the excellent interchangeable viewfinder system on my LX while trying to manually focus a long lens in poor light on the K1...

Digital LX anyone ?
I know this camera is an old Cannon AE1 and of course its just a well made mock up with a digital compact camera inside, but it demonstrates perfectly the type of DSLR I want to own. I love the pre auto focus SLR cameras of 1970s/80s. Just imagine if Pentax could make a ME-D, LX-D or you name ...

Digital LX anyone ?
An early Pentax digital experiment involved a MZ-S body and (I think) a Kodak sensor. I think they made the right decision to use neither that body, or that sensor. I am more than happy with the ergonomics of the K10/20D + grip combination. I remember seeing one of the early experimental model...

Samsun and Pentax
Especially when the doom and gloom is posted without any hard information to back up the views expressed. No figures, no specifics, no analysis - nothing, really, on which to base a reasoned debate (even if there was the will for such a debate, which I doubt).

Samsun and Pentax
It's still early days for promotions, Pentax have, on the last new model releases, offered cash back incentives. I took advantage of one when I got my K200d. Let's see what happens. 8)

Hi Kris, You may have already been successful in finding a copy by now but i discovered the issue that you need on the back seat of my car a couple of days ago, I just could`nt find the thread until now! I usually pass my old Mags on to some of the guys at work and thought this one had gone the s...

Going back to film
I have been using my K10 ever since I had it with 5 camera bodies collecting dust. I was looking at lenses yesterday and came to the conclusion that I should go back to film. M lenses are cheap and even though film and processing can be expensive, I can buy a lot of film and processing for the price...

Going back to film
Every now and then I take my OM-1 and my 3 Zuiko's (28, 50 and 135) out for an airing. Nostalgic? Yes Lovely construction and feel? Yes Longevity and reliability? Yes Forces more thought and creativity? Probably Anything else? Not really I love my K20D plus DA17-70, DA*60-250 and FA50 mac...

Going back to film
I've answered 'digital', since I can't see myself going back to film. However, as you may have noticed from my ongoing of negative scanning, I've been looking at my old photographs for the first time in 20+ years. They're nowhere near as sharp as my digital pics taken since the beginning of ...

Going back to film
After a gap of about three years, I recently started developing B&W film again. No more enlarging, though. Bought a Canon scanner and am enjoying messing about with bulk film (Ilford Pan400) and developer (Rodinal), again. No darkroom needed - Just a good changing bag. I never liked printing (and w...

Digital for me, I will never go back to film in fact I have just put my ME Super up for sale today, I dug it out last night to check it and it still has a lovely feel to it, it's a pity we can't get a digital one, :? Jack.

I've said this before, I'm not going 'back' to film as I have never entirely left it! Just sent 37 rolls of BW off for dev, print and scan. I do, however, take vastly more digital images than film. K.

Going back to film
I'm going to watch some motor sport tomorrow (hill climbing) and I've just been packing my camera bag in readiness for an early start. I've got the K10D in there with the DA12-24 / DA35 / Tamron 70-300 lenses, a Leica Minilux with a fresh roll of Fuji Reala 100, and a Zeiss Ikon Super Ikonta IV l...

Going back to film
Strangely enough i was looking for my old KM yesterday when i picked up one of my MX`s, It felt strange at first but once i took a peek through the viewfinder at that seemingly enormous screen then i was almost tempted to put a roll of film through it (I still have some Agfa colour neg in my fridge ...

It seems that film does have a place in photography.Too bad that Pentax doesn't make a DSL that looks and feels just like the ME. Even if its a limited edition. I think they won't be able to make them fast enough.
