Tripod for 300mm 2.8 (and some macro)?
Just received the Pentax 1.7x AF adapter that's going to fit very nicely on my A* 300 2.8 :mrgreen: (...unfortunately haven't been able to try it as my K-7 is out for servicing because of some front-focus issues :() I've still managed to figure out that my trusty Velbon Ultra Maxi F is going to b...

Tripod for 300mm 2.8 (and some macro)?
They are heavy and they take some getting used to (it took me a few attempts to get mine set up) but that heaviness also means they are incredibly stable when you have a large camera/lens at very strange angles (which you do for macro work). My Manfrotto 055 will also do very low (as well as very...

Tripod for 300mm 2.8 (and some macro)?
I went the other way to Hefty - I had a Uniloc (essentially the same design as the Benbo), but after a few years (4?) I found it never locked as rigidly as it used to, and when I disassembled it, I found the faces that should grip together when the one bolt is tightened had worn smooth. It also l...

Bag recommendations/comments?
Not long after I got my K20D, I bought a Crumpler Muffin Top 4000 to go with it. Needless to say the claim of carrying SLR with small zoom attached, plus 2 additional lenses was less than truthful :P /story So anyway I've been looking at getting a bigger bag - an attempt to buy a Timbuk2 messe...

Have a look at the Slingshots, my 100 takes my K200 with grip and Sigma 18-200 and has room for several more lenses. Most (actually at the moment, all) of my photography is done in urban environments, so wouldn't be too comfortable in having that amount of gear out of sight on my back

Bag recommendations/comments?
I use a Lowe Alpine Primus AW. It has two sections - the bottom one has enough space for SLR plus a couple of lenses, and is padded (and the padding can be reconfigured a bit), the top section can be used for anything - so can fill it up with extra lenses (:) ) or stuff it full of clothes/sandwiches...

Hmm quite possibly - but most (at the moment all) of my photography is in urban environments which for both security and accessibility reasons makes a backpack impractical. Yeah I know and that's why I went for one, black with green highlights so not all too obvious. My has a Y-strap that secure it ...

Cheap IR remotes
Just a quick endorsement of the IR remotes for the K20D sold on eBay. I wanted one for a Samsung GX-20. It cost £2.66 including postage from Hong Kong!! Delivery took about 8 days. At that price, I gave it a 50:50 chance of working but it seems well built and performs flawlessly. Indoors, the r...

PPG Submission and Voting
The PPG is a funny and uneven selection. Indeed Kris - a bloke 'on another forum' who I see as fairly talented claims he had a shot knocked back, resubmitted it a year later and had it accepted. The vagaries of vox populi... Hmm - Or was that populus? :D

My Camera is Giving me Fits
Hello to all. Just a note to say Hi. Due to the economy I have had to put the Studio in the "stand by mode" and have taken a job that has me traveling around the state. Can you believe there is a place on this planet with no internet service. The Town House Motel in Lusk, Wyoming is one such place....

My Camera is Giving me Fits
Wheres Wyoming:?: :lol::lol::lol: Seriously though that doesn't sound good news with the camera, have you tried it with another lens to determine if that is the problem, also try leaving the batteries out for a while then switching the camera back on again.

Adobe Lightroom 3 Beta 2 available
Well just installed it and already took 10 minutes to figure out how the import mean works, now that I know it's indeed easier but it was frustration for a while. Also indeed the noise has improved and the whole algorithm as well it's standard sharper, I wonder how it compare to other RAW convert...

K10d Firmware 1.3: Can you disable SDM?
Was wondering if, in the 1.3 version of the firmware for the K10d, it is possible to disable SDM and focus only through the screw drive.

netbook usefull?
I use the same as Doug above, agree it's not really worth trying to edit, as a first check / display it's great, although the first thing I did was to up the Ram to the Max of 2GB. It's cheaper than the back-up devices with screens with a larger H/d in most cases and you can surf the net with it ...

netbook usefull?
those ultraportable notebook cost double at what the ASUS 1201N cost so it's hard to say it would be worth the money for a notebook that I use 5 months Not the secondhand ones. An IBM Thinkpad X31/X32 can be bought used but in pristine condition for well under £100 on eBay. For that you get a Pent...

netbook usefull?
Stefan, A lot of netbooks will run Apple OS X to some degree. I had a compatibility chart, but I think it got trashed a few days back in a clear-up session. From memory, you would either need a version of OS X that was not model-specific, or one of the hacked versions that are available on the ne...
