pentax k-r Disappointed
Its a bit like AA filter / non AA filter comparisons - the real value of one over the other only shines through clearly under certain conditions. The consensus seems to be that the value to an individual of RAW over a camera JPEG would vary depending on what the image was destined to become and how ...

pentax k-r Disappointed
If someone with a K-R had knowledge of the custom image menus and some suggested adjustments there to give that extra 'punch', I'm sure that would give very easy results. I think I may have suggested some about two pages back. :lol:

Optical overkill?
why manufacturers supply 'mediocre/average/good' lenses with their cameras when they could supply better. That's easy - it's all down to cost (actual manufacturing or perceived retail). Just think back to your original purchase, if the retail price was dramatically higher than the competition it...

Optical overkill?
I think we've had enough of the personalities now. So no more please, anything further will be removed. Back to topic please.

K5 writing to card
If you format the card in the camera, rather than deleting images, there will definitely be no problems. I wouldn't try to discourage people from doing this MrS, because it is good practice and it works. Good practice costs no time and does no harm. Belt and braces. I know we can get away with do...

K5 writing to card
That is misleading information. You're claiming, or at least implying, that the only way to shoot great pictures and avoiding technical babble is to format the card in the camera. This is NOT true. I said nothing of the kind, I said that if you format the card in the camera you intend to use it in ...

K5 writing to card
I always format a new BLANK card in the Camera simply because that's easiest. But for already formatted cards I copy the images from the cards in a reader onto 2 drives ( for backup ) and then delete the images off the cards and put one of them back in the camera ready for shooting I never reformat ...

A few recent MX-1 snaps
I took a K-01 on holiday for two weeks, along with my K-5IIs and K-5. I have to say I loved using it and found it excellent for certain types of shots, especially indoors using a manual focus lens where the results were spectacular due to the focus peaking which makes MF as easy to use as AF and in...

New Camera Choice
Well, contrary to what I said above about not buying into a new camera at it's release date, I decided that the K3 was everything I was going to need and so took the plunge and ordered within minutes of it appearing on SRS's website. Looking back, it's been a frustrating while but I'm sooooo, so...

Pentax MX-1
The MX-1 arrived this morning and it's all very exciting opening a new camera box. We'll have to ignore I suppose the rubbish looking recycled box as at least it's substantially made and the contents are well packed within. A sign of the times. Within, however, is a little, or not so little, jewe...

Pentax MX-1
I looked at the MX1 but the lack of a view finder put me off, If it had focus peaking I could have been interested as I use it alot on my k30 for close up stuff but again not included. So not for me at this time. Still looks a good bit of kit.

Pentax MX-1
Today we were briefly in Abergele so I did shoot a handful of quick images. I've resized these for the forum: A phone box outside The Harp Inn. The wall of a ginnel (love that word!)alongside The Harp. A small alleyway. A candid portrait in a coffee shop, shot at f/1.9. An...
