High street K10D advice
Incidentally, there is no reason not to mention the shop in question. Provided what you say is true, it cannot be libel, and there is nothing they can do about it. Dont bother going back (and please give us a hint who it was) The only thing stopping me doing this is that I too work in photographic ...

High street K10D advice
This happens all the time here. My local shop, listed as a Pentax dealer, has no Pentax DSLRs in stock and point blank refuse to get them saying they are inferior, buy a Canon, or if you must a Nikon. Practically every shop I've been to for Pentax equipment, except one, has taken this attitude. I en...

High street K10D advice
I popped into Jessops in Carmarthen just on the off chance to ask if I could see the K10, they didn't have any in stock but would order one for me, no obligation to buy, just so I could handle it. Compared to the sony there was no competition. I took along a copy of the offer from an online cam...

Panning query
I'm off skiing at the weekend (Whistler if you're wondering, so there will be some snow) and I'll be taking my K10D (plus 16-45 and 50-200 lenses). One of the things I'd like to have a go at is taking panning shots of my companions as they whizz past me. Anyone have any recommendations for shutt...

Panning query
Peetle, I can't help you with speeds, but after years of (trying) to shoot sports car, dirt track races, I have one little tip. Even if your shot is slightly out of focus or motion-blurred, if your subject is entering the frame rather than leaving it (as happens all too often), your picture will ...

night photo
Thanks for been brave enough to post the first image Dave. I suppose I better post one of mine and make yours look better LOL. Do you recal when I tried to be clever but couldn't remember how to do a multiple exposure on the D, so I took two shots with the intention of merging them later, one ...

'Focus on Imaging' 2007 show
I was hoping to go to the 2007 'focus' show to see all of the current/new Pentax lens range. However, having learned the hard way with 'Focus' to ALWAYS look at the website before travelling expectantly to see particular products, I now note that Pentax is not listed among the exhibitors as yet......

'Focus on Imaging' 2007 show
I'm sorry to hear that Mike, I was really looking forward to handling a K10D and a couple of the new lenses. Myself and quite a few forum members are regular visitors to Focus and I think an exhibition is an ideal way to compare products from different manufacturers. It's nice to be able to wande...

Hi Viewfinder, Pentax will not be at Focus this year. There will however, be a presence at the Outdoor Show at the NEC in March. Mike.

'Focus on Imaging' 2007 show
Hi Mike, and welcome to the forum. I don't wish to pry, but from your name are you involved with Pentax commercially? If so, double welcome. :D IIRC, Pentax shared their stall last year with Tamron.. but that's not happening now, I assume. Cheers Liam

'Focus on Imaging' 2007 show
Hi Liam, Thanks for your double welcome! :wink: Last year we did share a stand with Tamron/Metz which as you are no doubt aware Intro2020 distributed products, I was in fact one of the guys manning the stand. Obviously this is not happening this year. One of the reasons we are not contin...

Site with some Pentax IR tech info.
Hi Galoot, If it is too geeky for you... Saw that and saved to my favourites straight away. Nothing's too geeky for a nerd like me.. whether I understand it or not will be another matter mind. :D I'll have a read when I get more time. I've just got back in with 2gb of sunset photos to hav...

Site with some Pentax IR tech info.
Any chance that there is a comet in those sunset photos? As I was getting home from work tonight, I looked across the fields near home and saw the new moon, in a deep blue sky, and thought "I'll nip in, get my long lens, and shoot straight back out again to get a pic or two". As always,...

Site with some Pentax IR tech info.
I reckon you're right Tim - took the pic a little later (nearer 5.30 I think), but Nashira looks as though it's in the right place. I'll have to look back at the images and see just how much camera movement there was. Perhaps I should have left the hood off my lens, it's like a bucket, so probab...

Sunset at Hayling Island
Hi Liam, Only reason I asked about the grads is that you've done a really nice job of balancing the exposure apart from the sun burning out in the top one... I live quite a way out of London, Henlow which is just off the A1 north of Stevenage but head down there a few times each year. Checked ...

Digitising negative collection
Digital ICE does indeed add time to a scan. In fact, film scanning is a time-consuming thing to do. For this reason, we have not digitised our back catalogue of images en block, but only as needed. After all, the originals are a pretty good way to archivally store images.

left or right eye?
Reading the question I did not know which eye I used. So I got the camera out and found that I use my left eye. I also found that I close my right but having read the comments here I tried keeping it open. However most of what I see out of that eye is a blurred image of my thumb on the back wheel...

DL2 Custom Settings
Hi there, I have had a DL2 for about the same time as you. I now have a K10 as well but the DL2 is still a fine piece of kit. Exposure steps: does exactly what it says on the tin, selects weather you adjust aperture and shutter speed in 1/2 or 1/3 stop intervals link AF point and AE: biase...
