Spring Cashback
Well it says "Free Pentax case" so it shouldn't be a Samsonite one. Mind you, it also says free "mainalnd delivery. Odd to show just a photo of the back of the camera. K.

Spring Cashback
Fair enough! I presume you have a K10D already Shim? Yes got it when they first came out from Mathers in Bolton (Pentax Specialists). I had to go there because Bestcameras or Kamera as they have been known for about 50 years in St. Helens dropped Pentax and went over to Samsung. Now they are back...

Spring Cashback
Just when I decided not to get a new camera a couple of shops inc. SRS have dropped the K20D bodies to £499...... does that mean the K30D is on it's way? If I did get a new camera I wouldn't keep the K10D the manual focusing just isn't good enough. I might even sell it and go back to film anyway. Di...

Normandy beaches trip
I don't think you will have any trouble at all even with a tripod, the beaches belong to everybody. I don't understand your fears however, should I understand that I would have some trouble with the English policemen if I were in the same situation on an English beach? By the way where are you stay...

[quote:3496ace15f="Karl"]So you 'site veterans' don't all have a bus pass yet then? :D actually, I have a fairly quick motorcycle. According to Einstien's theory, the faster an object moves towards the speed of light, the slower time goes... so I keep holding the throttle wide open, hoping to live...

Print sizes .. I need help plz
Just to hijack the thread how on earth did we get stuck with 10x8 paper? The reason harks back to the good old days of plate cameras etc, long before the arrival of even 35mm. You know what Imperial Standards are like, they never die:D

I wish more people would have imperial standards, the world would be a safer, happier place. The SI is metric though so if you Brits wouldn't be so stuborn and just use that everywhere it would be a lot safer :wink: I've trully no idea why we got stuck with that size Mike, it isn't so handy :( ...

Saturday at SRS
I knew it would be dangerous to go back to SRS, especially on an open day with lots of stuff to play with. My other half and myself spent a long time looking at everything on offer. I was looking forward to the DA*55 and it was the first thing I played with on arrival. I was not impressed by it t...

Hello! IT was a really nice day yesterday! Ahh I had so much fun, and I met one of you... but profile pics are not common around here, and although we talked plenty, we didn't introduce ourselves - nice to meet you anyway! Thanks to Chris for the great show, it was really fun. I have fin...

Well, just to add to the comments from the open day..... I went along for a while to try out the 60-250 primarily, armed with my trusty 70-210 and DA200 in the bag for comparison purposes. Initial impressions were that the 60-250 is a solid lens, from the same mould as the 200 and 300mm lenses...

I was there early on and it was fabulous to play with some lenses I'll never be able to afford. Wish I'd been there a bit longer, I could have tried them *all* out! I liked the DA*60-250, my first experience of SDM on a lens, no quicker to focus but totally silent, I think the optics must have been ...

Photobox and Colour Reporduction
Hi guys, Had a load of photos back from Photobox and a little disappointed in the colour reproduction. The image on the K20d's screen is very good, as is the repordcution on computer, however, the photos from Photobox have all come back considerably warmer than they should be. Any ideas what I ...

Photobox and Colour Reporduction
Just to update you on this. I can't believe how different Photobox results are to Snapfish. Snapfish a much closer to the colours that I see on my 20d LCD. I don't require the colours to be 100% spot on, hence my reluctance to calibrate my monitor, but I do expect the images I see on my 20d LCD...

Shutter priority vs, Aperture priority
the k20d is so easy to change the Aperture and shutter and iso in p mode thats all i use. front wheel does shutter speed, rear wheel does Aperture and holding ok whilst turning front wheel does the iso, and the green button pops it back to auto,:mrgreen:

Urgent (well for me is it) - photographying a very black dog Sunday
1. Plenty of light. 2. The dog is black, so do not expose such that the dog turns out gray. You will probably need to set EV down a stop (similar to how you add a stop for snow to look white, you may need to under expose a bit for black to look right.) Lots of people seem to recommend hot-li...
