Auto Extension Tube for K-5
I have a mint set of Kenko AF tubes which i never use. Do not understand why they are called AF, as there is no screw coupling. Davex. Lucky you.:lol: Only joking. But as for the AF part that may have still something to do from the old 35mm days and before auto focus. I still got an Nikon F2 an...

Lightroom V3.2, PSE, PS9, SilkyPix or what else is the BEST with RAW+ Postproduction?
Uses to be a huge SilkyPix fan. You could squeeze out better color and noise fixing that with LR. Sadly, it sort of stagnated. Never fully built up a good set of non-destructive tools; paintbrush, gradient, etc... that LR now has. Plus their stone-aged licensing (at least here in the US) caused me ...

Camera bag dividers
Hi, I have just bought a lowepro 100 slingshot camera bag from the bay and to my dissapointment it has turned up with no velcro dividers. I have emailed the guy to see if he just didnt put them in as the ad doesnt state that there is no dividers. If he doesnt have them is there anywhere i can g...

Camera bag dividers
Inacurate advert and item not fit for purpose. Give the seller a deadline to respond back to your eMail (I usually give 48h). DO NOT HESITATE to contact eBay after that also let the seller know of what you are intending to do at every step and give him the chance to set things right. But also do n...

It's also a good idea to start off communications in a pleasant way - demanding buyers who lay on the threats get the seller's back up straight away and you may well get less of a settlement. I really would start off with the assumption that the seller will respond positively - if not then just s...

You Get What You Pay For, Or Do You?
With other words no UK support. I had one of the better wireless remote flash triggers of feeBay but when one gone wrong within the warranty period it would have cost a fortune just to send it back, it was cheaper to buy a new one. As long as I do not get UK service (and that includes secure shippi...

A little Pentax, maybe?
I had a little play with a Samsung NX10, today. I was in Jessops, just seeing if my local branch has started stocking Pentax again, as had been reported here, recently. No Pentax in sight. My eye was caught by a cute little Samsung, tho'. The NX10. I stood looking at it for a while. A salesman asked...

A little Pentax, maybe?
And I'd be tempted towards a high quality compact over a micro-4/3 camera - some compacts have larger sensors than that! Really? Only the APS-C compacts like the Sigma and Leica and some but not all of the Ricoh modules. Other than that, the 4/3 sensor is very much larger than that in any other co...

A little Pentax, maybe?
jonSchick. Ooh! - You've got a GF1!.. Just the fellow I'd like to talk to! May I ask if you use your camera with adapters and other lenses, particularly cine and M42 lenses? If so, what do you think about them. Do you also have the clip on EVF? Some say it's not too good. Do you miss having a ...

Backing up PEF Files
To ensure future compatibility I'm thinking maybe I should back up some of my old PEF files to another format but should I use TIFF or DNG? It's been suggested to me that DNG may not be the way to go for quality reasons - something about loosing some information during conversion?! Any thoughts on...

Big, strong, cheap, and light tripods?
On further thought - big isn't really that much of a requirement. I also just got offered a free tripod from a friend but have to pick it up next week. I'm betting it won't be the best, but thanks all for the suggestions! I'll report back when I get the free one and then figure out if I need ...

Big, strong, cheap, and light tripods?
I've got one of those Don, and guess what? It's up for sale as it's not stable enough! if the manfrotto 475 b isn't stabil enough, you may have to refer back to my first post and just clamp the camera to a truck.:lol:

Big, strong, cheap, and light tripods?
We have the 058 version, over 6KG in weight a 405 geared head and 503 video head. Great in the studio, really solid, but as I've recently found out, in the field with a 2kg head and a 600m lens and watching the picture move in the viewfinder just due to mirror slap and you realise that it's not stab...

What did InSanaty Clause bring u 4 Xmas?
Speaking of wine making... anybody here have any experience making wine? The kit I got for Christmas, is a rather inexpensive kit. I was thinking of hacking it. I am contemplating pulling some of the concentrated juice out, and holding it for later.. mixing it for 19 liters (instead of 23 ...

What did InSanaty Clause bring u 4 Xmas?
I also got yesterday from a friend of mine who came back from Germany a CD: 'Potentia Animi - Das Erste Gebet'. Its the first edition collectors item with the signatures on the cover. I was after this one for ages and it is nearly impossible to get them in the UK. That now makes my collection of al...

What did InSanaty Clause bring u 4 Xmas?
I ended up spending about 10 K5s which rather blew my fanciful visit to the Apple shop earlier in the day... Mac Book Pro now on back burner :(

Please back up your photos.
know I should have done this before, but I was busy buying shiny bits and a hundred other feeble excuses. This morning I came to switch the PC on and there was a "ringdingding" and it refused to see the hard drive. I felt sick. It took most of the day to get it going again. As soon as I did...

I move mine on to an external 3.5 drive every week. A while back it fell about an inch onto a thickly carpeted floor ... and that was that, 2 years of raw files gone for good.

Having had a computer PSU go down and kill all 3 hard drives on a PC I know full well the value of regular multiple backups. I have 3 levels of back up. 1] I clone to a 2nd drive 2] I burn to a DVDr 3] I burn to a 2nd DVDr I purposely have to TWO external SATA burners to burn both ...
