Not the WR. It's the SMC Pentax-FA. Aperture ring with A setting and an MF, FULL-LIMIT setting for focus. Also has a clamp dial. Regards

A quarter century of Pentax - and counting
Hi all. Here's hoping 2010 brings us a step closer to the elimination of bigotry, greed, and global warming. And a decent World Cup would be nice, too. For me personally, 2010 means it's 25 years since my first Pentax purchase: a brand-new ME Super with the SMC-M 1:1.7 50mm standard lens. I still ge...

Pentax version of this coming?
No scrw-drive in the body so SDM only then. Manual focus is easy with an EVF as you can zoom the image.

Pentax version of this coming?
It's an interesting camera that's for sure, I wonder how good the lenses are... The EVF hasn't pulled me over, it's the lag that does it for me and they seems not so good at low light as well, haven't tried it there. I'll probably try to buy pentaprism as long as I can. No scrw-drive in the...

Pentax version of this coming?
I'm quite surprised that Pentax haven't tried to make a digital ME Super - call it the ME-D, make it a similar size to the original, and go after the PEN cameras with a full K mount SLR that's no larger or heavier than them. The problem is thickness. Film is essentially of negligable thickness, s...

View from a back window of my house a few hours ago. 30 seconds at f4.5: This began life as two photos but seems to have stitched well

Can I borrow your tinfoil helmet, K10D! Hurray, no more snow overnight in Brum! Never use one. However, I have seen people wearing them at Stone Henge? Just back in from dropping the eldest lad off at work, traffic down to 20 mph on most roads here in Cleveland (Teesside). Light snow still fal...

6 Inches outside the back door here on the Surrey/Hampshire boarder. I have this morning walked up on the Ash Ranges and in the open it was well over my boots. The roads are awful and I witnessed vehicles having trouble with our modest hump-back bridge. The debate with the few other peop...

Looking for good but inexpensive frames...
If you have Ikea or The Range locally then go for that. I saw these guys at the Focus Exhibition this year, I would say they are very good quality, maybe not as cheap as the Range - but cheap is usually directly linked to quality. I got a ribbon mount and and inca frame for one of my pictures (for ...

Looking for good but inexpensive frames...
Hi Pete, Just had a look at them - always on the look for better prices but they dont display any of their prices :( at the Focus show I picked up a brochure and price list from cadremont, to be fair to them - they were the only ones who gave me their normal prices, everything else was trade show...

Looking for good but inexpensive frames...
The problem I have always had with home-made frames is the inevitable ragged edges on the mitres. Any hints on how to avoid this? The only thing I've ever managed to make splinter-free cuts in wood with is a hacksaw (due to the very fine teeth)! If you have a builder's merchant nearby they may be...

eBay and serial numbers
A while back I was in the process of buying a 12-24 off an ex member here. I had agreed to his asking price after he lowered it voluntarily. I was on the point of sending him a cheque when another member pointed out that he had been posting on other forums to the effect that he thought he was being ...

eBay and serial numbers
A slight digression, I know, but about7 years back, an item appeared on Ebay for a "Rare Z1 Nikon". Now Nikon have never made a Z1 (that I know of) and the word NIKON was a piece of Dymo embossing tape stuck on the front of the pentaprism housing on a Practica, so it was a fair bet that there was a...

45 Deg mount cutter
I use a Frameco Matt Master which has mainly aluminium components, including the baseboard. I went to Lion in Birmingham where they demonstrated several to me. I liked the idea of the warp free aluminium base, so chose the Frameco Matt Master. If you visit the Focus Exhibition at the NEC in March...

45 Deg mount cutter
As the others say above, it takes a bit of getting used to - but does work. Like Graham, I too, have the Frameco Mat Master (660). Bought it at Focus about 3 years ago. Have both 45 deg and 90deg cutters Andy

Didn't intend to cause any issues, but I can see where you are coming from. I just went back to edit (delete) the content, but have just missed the editing window. I shall PM the moderators to ask for it to be removed. Apologies to all. :oops:

He mentions stacking the images, does this mean he takes several shots at different focus points to increase the DoF? Regards PaulM Superb images, thanks for posting the link :) With regard to stacking images I think you are correct. Different focal points to increase the depth of field. A ...
