Full-frame Pentax? I hope not!
The 645D is another question altogether, and appeals to a totally different market segment. I can't see Pentax trying to break into two major and distinct segments (Medium Format and FF) at the same time, especially as both are high value products. John, WRT Pentax R&D, where are their notes for the...

Full-frame Pentax? I hope not!
Pentax seem to be a company with great technical ability that make cameras for photographers, yet have lost a focal point. There is a common wish out here for low noise, wide ISO range, better firmware (screw or SDM option)and FF so that all Pentax glass works over the image circle, but to date Pent...

Full-frame Pentax? I hope not!
APS-C at 14 MP is plenty sharp enough for me. I would however, like to see an improvement in sensor noise at higher ISO. I have now invested too much money in DA lenses to start again for full frame for my hobby. Although saying that, I do have quite a few manual focus FF lenses, which is why I st...

Duplicate search
Hi again all, I did ask this question some time back but I so far have had no real joy. Anyone know of an efficient duplicate image finder please? Perhaps since I last asked something new has emerged? Suggestions appreciated.

Good album to listen to while processing?
If you wind the clock back 20 plus years, then I used to like listening to Yes while I was mucking about in my DIY dark room. "Close to the Edge" and "The Yes Album" being personal favourites. /Ian (the ageing progressive rock fan).

Unusual photo op - explosion.
Video. HD or 5fps continuous, 6Mpixels 6-250 from a distance. Remote. Lower res so you don't fill the buffer and can carry on at a high rate. If its an inductive load, as the field collapses you'll get a high back emf and high current, so it should blow the fuse, or melt something badly....

Buy a 135 format?
Stefan, Why would Pentax charge the above prices you have quoted when they charge a lot less than the competition for the DMF? WRT new lenses, how many within the group have a 31mm Ltd or other 135 format lens? I see you have a D-FA 100 macro Stefan: Angle of View: 15 degrees (24.5 degree...

Is there still a place for filters In a digital world?
I was wondering to my self to day if there is still a useful place for colour filters in this digital world that most of us now occupy? I can see the need and indeed use ND Grad filters to help alleviate the "blown sky problem" and to accentuate the sky effect and I can see the use for sunset gradu...

Is there still a place for filters In a digital world?
I seem to have a need to try various things so have acquired lots of stuff that actually I very rarely use :D. My filter collection is amongst this pile. I have a circular polariser but hardly ever use it. I have recently bought a ND grad with a vague idea that it might improve my landscapes but ...

Lightroom 3 is out
Hmmm I guess that means my beta copy will stop working soon. Back to Silkypix then.:lol:

Lightroom 3 is out
I'm considering signing-up for the course (using some Tesco vouchers (we have tons) will only cost £47.50) then buying this (£64.39) - total cost is 1/2 that of buying the software normally and get a (very basic) photography course. Downside is it will only work on one computer instead of two, ...

To grip or not?
Ditto to all of the above the K7 feels small with out it on,the only problem I have is removing the grip to charge the battery. You don't have to remove the grip, I have 3 batteries for the K20 and have it setup to use the grip battery first, when that battery runs down it switches over to the body ...

To grip or not?
Took the grip off yesterday for 1st time since purchase - wanted to lighten the load taking the camera along "just in case". Did use it. Grip going back on today! 'Nuff said! Reason? Well the day before I bought some gloves just because I saw they were available in XXL size! :lol: I picked ...

To grip or not?
Tried the K20D without the grip again. Didn't like it. Grip back on.

To grip or not?
Definitely no grip for me. One of the reasons I went with Pentax to begin with was a smaller camera. If I wanted a massive camera I would have bought a more popular brand :P When I upgraded from the K100Ds to the K20D i was gutted when I discovered the K20 was so much larger and heavier than the ...

Does such a bag exist?
It is a lot - too much really (and heavy!:shock:) so it's rare I end up with that much on my back, and that is using both compartments for lenses. When I do use the upper compartment for camera kit I normally just leave the lenses (the pentax ones at least) in their soft pouches and they seem to be ...

Does such a bag exist?
The Primus AW is heavy when it's full but I guess the load is spread a bit more with it. It also has to be packed a bit like a 3D jigsaw puzzle if it's going to be full of camera kit as all of the spaces between the lenses need to be filled to get everything in (and I use the outside pocket sometime...

J.Peg or Raw
I have a K20D and I always shoot RAW. The camera had a vertical banding problem which has proved an unbelievable pita to get repaired but the sensor and PCB have now been replaced. When I first started using it I shot JPEG's and I must admit I was very unimpressed indeed, so I shot RAW and I have c...

J.Peg or Raw
I started off with JPEG's when I first got my camera, after a while, I tried shooting in RAW, and since then I have had no real reason to go back to JPEG's.

J.Peg or Raw
"I paid good money for my DSLRs, as I want the best quality and low noise. Why would I want to select JPEG and throw information away" Just because one option has the 'higher' numbers or the higher bit count is totally irrelevant if the viewer of the photo is totally unable to see them..... Y...
