Hi Lilly, The 7660 isn't in production any more. So old stock is being dumped I'll guess. But as I said, if it has to be cheap, A4 is enough and you want a very good Monochrome output The 7600 series is the best value for money. if I remember correctly I paid € 176,- for it 6 years ago. Didn't fi...

First proper shoot!
That video could have been describing my last shoot, a couple of weeks ago. Horrible place to photograph - too dark to focus, almost no ambient lights, really low white ceiling :roll: So everything manual, 1/6th, f4.5 400iso. (really need the K20 at 1600 +iso). Just to add to the hassle, it was v...

First proper shoot!
Just had another thought, if its going to be dark you are definately going to have problems with focusing, the onboard flash is going to be strobing away trying to aid the camera in locking on, it'll be more like a press conference than a party, do yourself a big favour, beg steal or borrow a flash...

First proper shoot!
Hi, To be honest it went like a nightmare. The lens could hardly focus in low light. The ones it did were still out of focus and my shutter speeds were so low the ones i did get were way off sharp. Plus to add insult to the injury , there was a chap there with a Sony A200 with kit lens. His pi...

Focusing with Pentax
I don't have a split prism screen, just the regular matte one. In bright light I find MF to be pretty accurate but when the light dims I tend to switch back to AF (assuming I have an AF lens with me).

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
No. I enjoy photography as a hobby and would have no wish to develop it into work - it'd sap the fun out of it for me. I'm in this camp too, but I keep getting tempted! Weddings have an appeal as I have the mentality from my youth, my dad did video, so I have over 150 weddings under my belt from ...

PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY
I started in professional photography in 1959-- got into the Civil Service as 'photographer grade' at £7-15-0d a week (£7.75 new pence).Then it was all darkroom work and a 65 mile round trip every day to Chessington, Surrey from East Ham--- wore me out. Saw an ad for 'outdoor photographers 'at £15 a...

Hi guys, if you had the time and inclination would you be tempted to try photography full time ? If you would then what would you say is the easiest field of photography to break into ? Trying. Slow start, but I need to eat and pay bills and it is hard to make up the salary of a software engin...

I do end up taking photos (and teaching it a bit) as part of my job. Archaeological sites are heavily recorded photographically and lots of the finds are photographed too. The photos are, one the whole, mind-numbingly dull ("here is a patch of dark brown soil overlying a patch of light brown soil ...

I can understand most peoples opinion. Photography is a fantastic hobby and for the most time it is relaxing. I certainly wouldn't like to be under pressure to produce a certain photo in a certain time frame with my shopping bill and utility bills relying on the results. I used to love fiddling with...

Decided to become a pro approx 20 years old, instead of going to art school. Rang up all local studios from the phone book. Rang them all (about 50) and got nowhere. Then one of the 'B's' (I rang in alphabetical order) rang me back said come in for a chat. Ended up there for 12 months, in a loca...

Image stabalization on Pentax
Thought this might help. This main screen on the back of the camera is accessed by just pressing the INFO button. If SR was the last option used just press info, and turn the rear dial, done. Whilst here you can also set other options up quickly, like a favourites screen. From top left to...

What is photobucket & it's pros and cons?
Photobucket is best used as a file dump. In other words, you shouldn't use it when you expect your viewers will be looking at your images ON photobucket, but when all of your use will be embedding your images on other sites (forums, your blog, etc.) In that regard they are actually very good because...

SMC K (fully manual) lenses on K20D
This has probably been dealt with elsewhere but I am not sure where so here goes. I have had an LX and K2 since 1981 and only ever used manual lenses - K and M lenses. I only have one with an A setting so they all predate autofocus - in fact anything 'auto' at all pretty much apart from a new dig...

SMC K (fully manual) lenses on K20D
Pete - does the compromise really work? Given that we are told to turn SR off when using tripods, that tends to imply "wrong" SR can be as bad as no SR? I've been put off buying manual zooms because of this. I've yet to see evidence of it yet, but yes in theory "wrong" SR can be as bad or worse th...
