New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
Sorry Pentax....no sale. I have the 200 mm lens on my list for this summers road trip.. but If the next dslr replacement for k20 doesn't have video to match nikon, I may jump ship. Attracted by the video option I looked at the D90 before deciding on a K20D. The D90 video has no AF, and is limited...

New Pentax "bridge" (Micro APS-C) leak?
I want a cost effective alternative to one of these: 35mm lens adaptors for for shallow dof shots and rack focus. the d90 would work fine for my needs, but hoping pentax brings out a competitive model.... Surely you more than anyone can knock something up using a bellows set? Dan

Electrical fields
Hi, Thats an interesting picture. The that goes with it doesn't tell you much about what phenomenia is being pictured - but if you follow the links to 'Sandi Lab' then 'pulsed power' you will arrive at where it says "Time-exposure photograph of electrical flashover arcs produced over the surf...

ND filters
Cokin also do ND 'P' filters similar to Kood. I have a set and it depends, as Dan says, on the amount of light available. Depending on the light and the degree of silkiness required I can only suggest experimentation at a particular waterfall using different ND filters. Also a polarised will lose yo...

Gwynn, If you are into scenics, could I suggest you give a look at a drive on the Alaska Highway, from the U.S. through Canada and back in the U.S. (Alaska), instead. Some of the most outstanding scenery are on this highway in the Canadian Rockies and then Yukon and finally Alaska. To me, it i...

Does taking photos affect your eyesight???
I've now been using my K20d for around a month and loving every minute of it. Previously i had used a bridge camera and a point and shoot so for 99% of the time, i used the live view on the screen to compose and shoot shots. Having switched to a DSLR, i have only taken one shot using live view mo...

I did a wedding book last year for my pics of my neices wedding using Blurb. I went into it with eyes open as I'd read the quality was not top notch and pictures can be darker sometimes. That said I was very happy with the result. It took me a while to put it all together but it was worth it to see ...

Have to seen from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List on Blurb? Saw it the other day. It is a great idea Prieni. Of course I would like to win a competition so I can get my picture in there too! Now, this throws my age back in my face. Yes, I had seen that a while ago, as it seems forgot about it and it...

The books are now back from Blurb, all the way from the Netherlands. They are fine. Image quality is excellent, the black pages are perfect, the binding strong and neat, the dust cover fits properly, the colours and brightness are spot on with the originals. There is now no need for me to pay ...

Exposure Locking
I have been considering setting my custom setting on my K10D for locking exposure at the same time as locking focus. I was wondering what the general consensus was for this and if it was advisable or not. I would be using it with spot and centre weighted metring.

Exposure Locking
I thought about that, but then it's a bit too restrictive. I prefer using manual exposure locking when needed (rarely though) - the AE-L button is in a comfortable place so it's not a big deal to press it when needed. Moreover it lets me setting the exposure locked on a different object than the foc...

Exposure Locking
BE WARNED! It is not "locking" AE at the same as AF, but linking the AF point into the AE system. When you do that, it only takes the segment where the AF point is and ignores the rest. For example, you have the metering set to "Matrix Evaluative", and you enable the custom function. Now you ...

Do sensors wear out ?
I have a Canon Ixus 430 that had the same problem. Sent it back to a Canon dealer who fixed and returned it FOC.

Do sensors wear out ?
I sent my Ixus 500 off to Colchester Camera Repair Service on Monday and it came back on Friday with a new 'optical unit', camera recalibrated etc. etc. all FOC. Brilliant service :D:D:D This dodgy sensor problem must have cost Sony a fortune :shock:

Pentax X70 digital camera
Thordell makes a good point about QR plates. Does it shoot RAW? I'm not showing it to my husband - he'll want one.....but then again maybe I'll get my Ds back then. Hmmm.

Exposure meters
Yep!...still use my Westonmaster V.....somwhere I still have the 'III' model that was my first meter in my teens in the 1960's...it still worked last time I looked at it. They can be rebuilt and are excellent meters for balancing lighting in still life shots. They were the best of the worlds sele...

Part of my training was to accurately judge distances and set them on the camera without removing eyes from the subject....our instructor actually requiered us to focus the camera with it behind our backs...it was repeated constantly thousands of times until we were perfect at it. These days all ...
