Yay!!! Another two photos accepted by Pentax!
Nice images. I had a few up when they first started, but haven't gone back to even try. The interface is just too annoying. I applaud anyone willing to work through it. :-) Let alone finally having quality images being accepted.

Ultrawides and grad filters
I use Cokin P series with my 16-55 which is also 77mm filter size but i do experience vignetting at around 18mm, I`m surprised to hear that a 10mm does not. Mystifying! Regards - Pete Pete are you using the wide angle holder? :wink: Thanks Anvh You have solved the mystery! I had been using the A...

Giro d'Italia
Hi, Pro Cycle Racing is extremely difficult to predict from a photographers point of view. A steep hillclimb would be the easiest to photograph as the riders would be doing 10-15mph. Otherwise corners can be a good bet, Either with a long lens or on the inside of a corner with a wide-Angle. Riders ...

circular polarizer multi-coated glass or not?
Not sure if I have put this on the right forum. I am thinking of getting a B&W Circular Polarizer, what is the different between multi-coated glass or not.I want a good quality and to use with auto focus. Also I have on my lens a hoya hd protector, if I put a polarizer ontop of this one, will it eff...

An Act of God?( Insurance claim denied).
I've been looking through some old negs(25years or so),and came across this one.I don,t have a neg scanner so instead i taped the neg to a Velux window and took a few frames as an experiment.And this is the result,not too bad i thought. I converted the colour neg image to positive in P.S Elements,a...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
I don't think FF is impossible. Nikon FFs have a 'DX Mode' which allows you to use existing, DX lenses. Hmm. I wonder if you can explain to an old curmudgeon why he should buy a larger, heavier, more expensive, body and then use his existing APS-C lenses on it? No? Thought not. This is ju...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
Well I said it was 'one argument', not that they should do it - who am I to say? I haven't the foggiest whether it's economically worth pursuing, but they'd be tripping if they didn't at least consider it because FF is becoming much more mainstream. Yes the 645d will provide prestige but unfortunate...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
I think the most damning thing for Pentax is that regardless of what Pentax want, FF sensors will reduce in price over time and then they will impact on high end APS C cameras. There will be a time when Canon, Nikon & Sony will produce a FF camera that is at the $1,500 mark of todays high end APS C ...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
I'm not so sure, because it is related to the quality needed by the market. FF sensors may well become cheaper, but so will APS-C. Yes, you are correct, John, but my point is, at the price point at which advanced amateurs and semi pros work at is at a level where the best IQ they can get at the hotl...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
Sorry, but I am not remotely interested in taking pictures at high ISO. Photography is about using light, not dark. Skotinographers are the people who need high ISO. Just because something is technically possible doesn't make it a good thing to do. High ISO will just lead to more dodgy sunset ...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
A full frame body is a possibility and could be successful on ONE condition: that it can activate a 'crop mode' to work with all the very high-end APS-C lenses Pentax have sold. An alternative is that this could be "ultimate APS-C", equivalent in pricing to (though likely better than) the Canon 7...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
if you had the choice of 2 cameras, 1 that has usable images at iso 128000 and 10fps and lightning fast AF system and the other with usble images at iso 1600 and 3fps and an ok AF system both the same price, which one are you going to go for. An interesting comparison, you could almost be describing...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
I think the full frame thing encourages us to part with our money and for those that make money from photography they have more of a choice as to the amount they can part with, Moreover, for the readers of the numerous photography magazines which often show Nikon and Canon on every other page no won...

Interview with Hiroshi Onoda, manager of Pentax Europe.
If they aimed it at the amateur market instead and had a camera with similar specification levels as the Nikon D700 or Canon 5D and pitch it at the same price level as those cameras (currently around £1700 at Park Cameras), would they be able to sell enough of them to make it financially viable ? ...

Is it cheating to shoot Aperture Priority?
Why should it be cheating? Av means that you concentrate on composition and depth of focus. Program mode means that you concentrate on composition only, so that could be argued to be nearer cheating. If Av is cheating, then so is "match needle", "match LEDs" or "centre needle" exposure control (p...
