Full Frame Pentax!!!!!!!
As with many of these debates it really is courses for horses. What we use depends on a whole series of logical and illogical choices. Why, when digital cameras are so much more convenient and provide higher quality images, do I wander about carrying a 40 year old camera with a manual lens loaded w...

SD card failure
I know they are very tough but many say you should back them up... I'm going on holiday for 10 days and I will probably just take two 8gb cards with me and look at the photos at home. So what is the failure rate, I've 6 cards and none have failed *knocks on table*. What is your experience? Si...

SD card failure
My husband had one SD card fail though I suspect that was a problem more with his Laptop than the card - I was able to extract [ using my card reader and my MacBook ] about 75% of the JPEGS on his card - the others we did lose . So I'm not 100% sure this was the card. Yes, I was about to post that...

"... pictures of an adult nature"
I hear Rab C Nesbiitt is come back to our TV's soon New series started last week, next episode on Thursday. I started watching last week's, but gave up on it. Looks more realistic and less funny than it used to be.

Monitor calibration
Going back to my notes from the Calumet New York Seminar on printing , when the Tech there [ a Calumet employee - not sponsored by any printer firms ] was talking about Calibration - as PhotoMonk stated - he reckoned the best of the Calibration Devices were X-Rite Eye One and the Spyder series....

Monitor calibration
Mongoose, It's not Argyll that's 'at fault', but the type of profile you choose ;) A "Matrix" profile will not compensate for a poor black point on the display. Using a "cLUT" colour look up table type profile will work wonders, but takes longer to produce. Do also note that not all software c...

Why are polorising filters so expensive?
The circular type of polariser is supposed to be necessary for auto focus, but reports of actual problems with linear ones are rare.

The circular type of polariser is supposed to be necessary for auto focus, but reports of actual problems with linear ones are rare. Yep, I think it might be something of the early days of AF or the type of AF that they use. I believe that you can look through a circular both ways but with a linear...

Why are polorising filters so expensive?
Hi Stefan, I have tried the test by pointing at a blank non reflecting surface and the shutter speed alters from 60th. to 125th. I tried both K10 and K20 and the same result. This was in AV mode. In TV mode the F stop altered from 5.6 to 8. I would expect these sort of changes but how can we determi...

Why are polorising filters so expensive?
Thank you John, that's correct but I believe we are/were talking about Cedric's results from page 1. I asked him to do this test there is an easy test which can often indicate whether or not a camera needs a circular polarizer. Attach a linear polarizer to the camera and take a TTL meter reading...

DNG to JPEG in one move?
Hi Folks. I've just come back from two weeks hols. My photographs are all mostly (happy snaps) as I didn't really have time for any serious photography. However I left the camera on RAW (DNG). I have over 500 photos of which I will discard maybe 200 at least. I have downloaded them all onto the comp...

I didn't, not did I get the lens today as arranged today. I will be watching my bank account careful...
