LOL! Thought you might, was kinda obvious! Is it ugly enough for ya? Hideous! That's why I was planning a trip into town over the weekend to get a shot. Oh well, back to stalking Wee Jimmy Krankie I guess... :lol:

SRS Microsystems offline?
As promised the DA* 300mm and flash arrived today at 8:30am :D , unfortunately the rain arrived at around 9am :( So I haven’t had much time to play with the lens yet (the camera and lens may be weather proof but I’m not) – just got one or two shots in the garden between showers. The focus spe...

ANGLESEY
Simonkit is the one to talk to - it is his home ground - have a look at his photos for an idea of what is around. Lucky you - I love North Wales (Land of my Mothers) and would like to get back there sometime soonish.

Basic Help Needed
Apologies first of all but I have to ask a very dumb question. I have a K10D with a Std SMC DA 50-200mm lens. On the lens blurb it states how easy it is to change between auto and manual by turning the focusing ring. So I have the front front setting as AF.C, look through the view finder then de...

Basic Help Needed
Hi Bob and welcome to the forum Yes you are missing something. The "quick shift" focus system works in AF-S mode.... auto focus single. The camera locks on to a focus point and stops hunting. As long as you keep the shutter half pressed you can manually fine tune the focus if you wish t...

Basic Help Needed
It is also possible to stop the K10D from initiating autofocus when you half-press the shutter. When you want the camera to focus, you press the "AF" button on the back with your thumb. I find this useful because: 1) You can choose centre focus, point at the eyes (for a portrait) an...

Just to say thank you for your very informative replies which have both helped me to understand how to use the manual focus. I could well be back with other questions! Bob..

Thanks to SRS
I know they're highly rated here anyway, but I have to acknowledge the service from SRS. They sent me out a replacement Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 before they'd even received the (front focussing) faulty one back, despite the fact that they don't know me from Adam - doubt many places would do that. Neal

New eyes
...well, as good as. I've had a bad cataract in my right eye for a couple of years, so I use my camera with my left eye. A month or so ago my optician said that I now have a cataract in my left eye, so I was referred to the cataract clinic. The consultant says I should have both lenses replaced ...

New eyes
A very guarded reply. My mother-in-law is having both lenses replaced very soon and is understandably worried about the procedure. However, I have two friends who are eye surgeons who perform this 'miracle' (their word) several times a day. One of them showed me the operation and I couldn't believe ...

The good old days
I think the arrival of autofocus hit Pentax quite hard. I know the cameras have their fans, but personally I feel the design lost its way and became too bulky. There was none of the slick ergonomics that Pentax had all the way up to the Super A series. I feel they only found their feet again with...

The good old days
Olympus did quite a job in the 1970s with their very ordinary OM series of SLRs. It didn't take long for most professionals to gravitate back to Nikon and Canon though. Pentax too had a very prominent professional share at one time. They made all sorts of highly specialised gear such as the Quart...

Making a Wedding album (photo book) who to use?
I've only used these for largish prints (that I've been very happy with) so don't know the quality of the books. I have been using Photobox too. When they get it right the books are great, but recently I have had to start sending books back because of QC issues.

Making a Wedding album (photo book) who to use?
I used a company called Inkifi and have never been disappointed. I ordered their Layflat Book and love looking back at it on a rainy day. They are here - https://inkifi.com/photo-books.html Folio Albums look nice as well but I called them and they told me they only sold to professional photog...

Looking a new compact digital
The G9 does look like a good package, but way over-priced for what I want. It's a camera that'll be taken on 1,000's of miles mostly in a tail pack on the back of a motorbike, quick and easy to use, will more than likely get dropped a few times, trailed about the garage taking pictures of bike parts...
