Focal length and camera shake
Some of the preceding posts have really thrown me now! Based on something I read somewhere, I was thinking my 18-55 digital kit lens was the equivalent of 28-90 in a 35mm film lens. Meanwhile, George advises I'll have to multiply the focal length by one and a half, which he thinks is not impos...

RAW Vs JPG
Hi All: I started shoting RAW because I was just shooting so many images when working JPEG and thus wanted to force myself to slow down a bit, when i purchased a notebook before Christmas this past year. Because having the Pentax *DSI L2, I had shot over 4,000 and was starting to wonder if the...

RAW Vs JPG
Its OK having complete control but to be honest who wants to return from holiday with hundreds of images and have to process each one individually? who said you HAVE to process each individually? If you batch process the whole lot without changing a setting you get what you would have got if you...

RAW Vs JPG
If you batch process the whole lot without changing a setting you get what you would have got if you'd shot JPG in the first place, the only difference is that if and when you find one which needs more manipulation, you can go back to the raw file and fiddle. Actually, Mongoose, I think Silkypix a...

RAW Vs JPG
I think the most important point about shooting RAW is that you are preserving as much of the data about the image as it is possible to do. As new and improved RAW software becomes available one can go back to an older picture and re-process it, often bringing out qualities and details that were no...

Handy Hint #45364: Renaming multiple photos
Useful tip - I didn't know that :D Pity is does not work with the number at the front, or with W98 :cry: Personally, I find the batch rename in PS generally does the job, but for preference I use "FileRenumber" a free download I think, although I got it off a cover disc some time b...

concerns about sharpening
Questions / comments for you all I now have my new K10D and lots of DNG files which I open in CS, Silkypix etc... on doing so the software applies a level of sharpening. I then save the file for later (as a new DNG to preserve original). Later I go back and open the new file (say in CS to mak...

concerns about sharpening
I then save the file for later (as a new DNG to preserve original). Why do you do this? RAW adjustments are nondestructive and can be reverted back to camera default settings so no preserving is needed.

Mirror lenses
Whilst browsing another the AP forum I came across the following link http://www.stevesforums.com/forums/view_forum.php?id=24 This in turn brought me to some examples taken using a 500mm mirror lens (plus extenders!) which gave surprisngly good results - always assuming the data was genuine and ...

Mirror lenses
Hi Graham, I don't think the lens this guy was using was a mirror lens, can't see that it says so - he just calls it an "Mint/Used Manual Focus 500mm/1000mm Prime Lense (Came with 2x Doubler)". The moon pic, and the clock ones look quite good on screen, but obviously we're looking at m...

Mirror lenses
[quote:128424c727] There is an Opteka one on Ebay for around £70 - cheap and cheerful, but could be a waste of money :? those are cosmetically identical to the Centon I had, that doesn't mean they necessarily ARE the same lens of course but it sure looks like it. I didn't take a single keepe...

Thanks Guys They say that good advice is that that you agree with :) I just needed someone to get my brain back where I knew it should be :lol: Before I spend anything I need to get my technique improved - and that come for nothing more than a bit of practice. Then I might invest in the ...

Mirror lenses
I would recommend the Tamron SP500mm mirror lens because it's a good performer and you should be able to pick up a nice one (hopefully in it's case c/w filter set) for £50-£70 on eBay. It's a manual focus adaptall2 lens, so all you need is a PK/PKA adaptall mount for it - don't be put off if it's a...

AF teleconverters
The Pentax 1.7x AF converter can be used to convert manual focus lenses to autofocus. However, you can just as easily use it with an autofocus lens - to some advantage! Because the focus is entirely inside the AF1.7x the lens never moves. You just manually set a rough position (say infinity) and ...

Up close and personal..
Hi all, I thought today I would see how macro I can go.. :twisted: Sadly this can only be checked by the British contingent (unless you have an english penny later than the late 90s). Dig in your pocket and get a shiny penny out; now have a look underneath the Queen's neck.. just between...

ok, I had a go. first I'd like to say MAN is this a difficult challenge. All in good fun! I don't have any extension tubes, so instead I have mounted the following Tamron 90mm SP Macro + 3 2x converters (2x Tamron SP flat field ones and a Tokina RMC) with a Zeiss Flektogon 35mm reversed at ...

Nice one Mongoose.. :D A challenge indeed then.. :wink: Sadly again, only for those with a late 90s onwards 1 pence piece.. post the greatest magnification of IRB.. it will be taken on trust that no-one blew up a picture to suit. In the words of Arnie.. I'll be back.. I haven't tried re...
