Pentax UK's marketing budget
Pentax will certainly have a marketing budget, but their idea of how to use it to best advantage will be theirs. Quite a few camera manufacturers were missing from Focus last year, including Canon, Pentax and I think Fuji and the whole event was instead overflowing with companies wanting to sell ...

Pentax UK's marketing budget
Now, looking at the exhibitors for the "Focus on Imaging" show next month, I see Pentax isn't listed there either. Does anyone know if Pentax User will be represented this year?

Copy Stand
Richard You are welcome to borrow my copipod if it's a short term project. I think I only have the 49mm adaptor for it. Thatnks, that is a kind offer. I don't intend to do the photographing for a few months (meaning, I am too busy now) so I may get back to you later if I may. But in the meant...

Copy Stand
We used a C-Clamp with an appropriately sized screw (to fit the camera's tripod socket) tack-welded onto it. With a large washer and nut you can ensure it's tight enough to prevent the camera from moving without driving the screw through your camera's baseplate and damaging it (as one of our helper...

Image Browsers
Either I double-click to get a 100% view or I just ignore any jagged lines while working in Silkypix (full version). To see what the final image will look like, I create TIFF or JPEG - of the desired size* - and view it with IrfanView**. Then I go back to Silkypix if any further work is needed. ...

Scanning Advice
Just got an Epson v500 scanner - flatbed with transparency adaptor. Not tried it on slides yet as all my slides are back in England, but ran a B&W film through it last weekend and was mightily impressed with the results. On film strips it will do 12 35mm frames at a go, but only 4 mounted slides...

Scanning Advice
b) Buy a Nikon Coolscan V once Chris @ SRS has some in stock :?: c) Buy something else to do the same job :?: If you just have a fairly small job lot to do, why not try a 2nd hand unit from ebay? I picked up a Coolscan 5000 last winter to do my 35mm collection which is fairly quick. I have ...

Best printer
I chose a Canon 4200, as the print quality and speed was good, but also, as Beakynet says, you get 2 paper trays. I use mine differently to Beaky, in that I have the plain paper in the bottom tray, and just top that up now and again, and use the rear loader for photopaper. I prefer this method a...

I could send you a couple of prints if you like - you could even send me a couple of your own pics - a colour and a B&W - no problem to print and send them to back to you. Canon do a 'try before you buy' service where you upload a photo, they print it with your chosen printer(s) and then send th...

Yep they do Dan, I tried it with their 9000 and 9500 A3 printers - only problem is its only a 6*4 print and I wasn't impressed. I'd want it A4 to properl...

Discussion: weekly photo comp 31 'the eyes have it'
. . . Do you know how the operation turned out. :?: Hi Clarky, thanks for your interest. I just got back from Burkina again at the weekend and actually saw the little girl again. She had to have an enucleation of the right eye and will probably have to have the same done to the left. Unfortunately c...

im new and need some help
The FA 50mm F1.4 is a very good lens, even used they usually sell for well over £100. Just a thought but you might want to consider a the A F1.7. It is manual focus,but very highly regarded and can often be found on Ebay. Expect to pay up to £50 for a good example Steve

Weekly Competition # 32 " Love is..."
Hyram - I think you must be psychic - I very nearly picked boats as the subject for the competition as last weekend my two kids sailed on their own for the first time! Not in an International 14 I hasten to add but in a Topper Topaz. Was your photo taken at Hayling Island Sailing Club by any chance?...

Weekly Competition # 32 " Love is..."
I just remembered that I have a tripod and remote. I could have used my own arm in the picture but didn't. The arm model was very patient. All the shots with the arm in focus just looked wrong. The image needs to show what is happening but the main focus is on the cat-o-twentyone tails. This work...

GPS for Pentax K10d
I use the Sony GPS-CS1 with my K10 and it works a treat. It takes a single AA battery which should last a day out and about if you use good ones, it clips on to my bag and I just forget about it till I get home. I then use an application by Breeze Systems called Downloader Pro, this will match the t...

Storage space with raw files?
I always back them up to DVD. Important ones also go onto CD-R for photos from Fuji, as well as onto an external harddrive. When I am done with them I remove them from the main computer. PSE6 keeps a track of them all for me.

Storage space with raw files?
Backup to external drive(s) AND DVD discs Make sure you only back up to DVD Rs as re-writable CDs and DVDs data deterates with time due to the nature of the dye used. :?
