Whether to go ahead
It all depends on the type of photography that you are taking IMO. If you are finding that the Pentax system is not doing the job for you then go out and do some research about the other systems. Changing can be expensive unless you are going to get your money back, not just being paid for images ...

Whether to go ahead
Back on topic. My first assignment for the student newspaper in about 1985 was to cover a demo at the debating society. I turned up with my trusty ME Super and a Boots brand flashgun. The other chappie there had a Nikon F3 with a flashgun that was like the second coming of the Lord. He was very...

Kata DR466/467
I must admit I wasn't particularly impressed with the Kata bag..I bought one a while ago to replace my Tamrac adventure 7 but found it quite flimsy & the padding quite thin in comparison...access to the camera was better though - sent it back & still have the Tamrac Simon

Satisfaction!
I did a car boot recently and one of the things I sold was a box of 24 assorted Cokin filters, graduates, polariser, star, etc, etc, all in immaculate condition. I found them in a cupboard and they'd been forgotten for ten years or more. I priced them at 50p each just to get rid of them. A guy ca...

Your photo-biographies
I've been wondering of late how Forum members have acquired the expertise they have and over what period of time they have acquired it. Having come to the Pentax DSLR fold (I did have a nice little Optio with which I used to shoot slide a while back) relatively inexperienced as a photographer, m...

Your photo-biographies
It has completely transformed my perception of photography, My only regret is that i was still a relatively immature photographer at that point and was totally oblivious to how privileged i was to in that lecture hall for those 12 weeks with such icons of Photography. I had heard of them of course b...

Using A Flash
They give very effective overexposed, out of focus heads in foreground if you like that sort of thing.

Group meet albums?
Hmm! the people who have voted say yes, I was hoping for a bit more feed back though! I can't badger the IT guys on just a 5 vote poll, still...:twisted:

Computer, many new things on the market but what to get?
Hello there, I run my own it buisness,so if you need any help let me know, I would advise a 775 if your going for intel as the boards and the ram is cheaper, than the new i5 and i7, and that stuff we have all uses ddr 3 now and thats quite exspensive for the good kit, where the ddr 2 is cheap, if y...

Computer, many new things on the market but what to get?
Yes at the moment they are strong but for the last 3 months or more I believe we haven't seen a new CPU on those socket so their life is over and updating your CPU over 3 years will mean buying a new motherboard and that also means buying DDR3. Basicly you will need to buy a new system and their for...

Another 645 Digital
They have had DMF cameras out together for a while (as have Leaf, Sinar, Rollei, H'Blad among others), but you should note that the price quoted is body only, excluding the sensor back. Pentax's 645D will probably be cheaper, when you consider that a camera back costs around £12000, that totals £160...

Another 645 Digital
You might want to read it again, Pete. Its €4,290. body only without the digital back. That needs to be purchased separately from Phase one, Leaf Mamiya or others. . So you can safely add another € 7.000 - 10.000 :shock:

As for the lens factor, the Pentax glass already available should provide decent quality images. I am sorry, HG :shock: But when I am splashing out the expected amount of money for a 645D decent isn't what I am willing to sign for. I say it again. All the 645 lenses on the s/h market will not ...

Another 645 Digital
And we already know the resolving power of 645/6x6 and 6x7 lenses is much lower as their 24x36 counterparts. Simple physics. The could because the film format was bigger, so they could do with less. I understand this logic, but I thought the whole point of medium format was for producing enormous ...

All I know is that when my scanned 120 negatives come back to me as a digital file, each image is approximately 220 Megabytes... :shock: 120 film is 2 1/4 inches square, isn't it? That's 57.15mm (is that the '6', of '645'?) The area, then, of a 120 square negative, is 3266 square mm, compared wi...

Do we rely too much on Technology
I think Mr Spider has a point. I tried to get into photgraphy when I was 17,with an Olympus OM10 but just couldn`t get my head around film types,etc. Up until recently my Samsung V70 was an ok 7meg P&S digital camera but I wanted something that could "get me in amongst the action".Last year I ...
