Minolta Auto Bellows I Focusing rail
Thanks Andy. I have looked at that one, but it gets mixed reviews (but so did my K-r and it's brilliant......) Although I haven't managed to use it much, I have found the Velbon slider very good and stable - much better than the Manfrotto focus rail Andy

If you have consided a "grey import" camera and/or lens...
The biggest problem I see is what you do if you open it all up and it's damaged or doesn't work. It's just not worth the hassle when suppliers like SRS offer such a great back-up service.

It's great to get some feed back from Smegland! How are things there?..jeff.. Yeah not too bad Jeff cheers :) . I haven't actually done a decent shoot for months. Getting cabin fever to be honest, but catching up on sorting some old pics

[sigh] Removing a whole post becuase of one starred out word is well ... But let's try again in this cyber-zone of secured bytes..... I've gone back to LR4.0 as LR4.1RC is flipped.

Hi Shaun I have spent some time comparing the merits of each - Totally agree with Barrie about #2 - not a bad shot - but "filler" in this collection. At first glance #1 is a stunner - has first impression 'wow factor' however - the more I look at at - the more I conclude that the foreground an...

All good, Shaun - however, number 3 is the one that leapt out at me! One thing I always try to do is trust my gut instincts, even if they're wrong, which is seldom - so DEFFO # 3!! My thinking is that, if you divide #3 into 3 horizontal elements, then subtract the top and bottom 3rd, then concent...

Well - I'm the idiot here , still can't take a decent photo. However my words and reasoning , if it's worth anything # 1 I LOVE it - the shafts of light are spectacular , the rocks at the front - wonderful texture there. Enjoy looking more closely and differentiating the various colours on the...

My thinking is that, if you divide #3 into 3 horizontal elements, then subtract the top and bottom 3rd, then concentrate purely on the middle 3rd, it says "hello!.. I'm a b/w photo!".. Now factor in the top and bottom elements again, and they seem to be telling the middle 3rd, "no you're not!".. Doe...

Help correcting blue chromatic aberration
Hi Guys, Thanks for all the advice. I actually am planning to take more photos of this type soon (portraits of singers taken from balcony at the back of a poorly lit church) so a new lens might be the best solution. John - do you think the 50-200 would outperform the vivitar 200 prime at the l...

Help correcting blue chromatic aberration
Wow dodge. That looks amazing! I think I'll give it a solid go in GIMP. I don't think I can afford to buy elements and a new lens (I'd rather not try to afford either!). Cheers for the link to the PPG fatspider. I'll have a look through that before I buy anything new. Good resource. Thanks a l...

Silly ad.....
I see what they are saying, but viewing the image before you press the shutter release might be more accurate than capturing. If you use the back screen on any digital camera you are viewing the image before you press the shutter release.

what would you take to travel light
I've been to both though I wasn't really into photography then. Florence is one of favourite places. You must have a wide angle in Florence, I doubt I'd use much else if I went back.

what would you take to travel light
If I'm walking around a city for a weekend then I don't want to carry around half a ton of equipment in an enormous backpack. I'm not going to use every lens so streamlining makes sense. It also means I would spend less time switching lenses, digging through a backpack etc. If I was on a specif...

Got me a K10d!!!!
Well, I've wanted to "upgrade" from my trusty *istDL for a while now, and, thanks to the mis-fortune of another member, I've now got me a K10!! :D :D :D It's been drop tested and was injured, but nothing life threatening. The lens mount had came away from the body, but a bit of epoxy resin to rein...

Got me a K10d!!!!
As much as I like manual focus, I do prefer automatic metering since it simply saves time. But there's nothing wrong with the old stop-down route so long as you can always take your time to get a shot. Maybe you can upgrade to a fully working K10D down the line. P.S. How's life in the Wirral thes...

Got me a K10d!!!!
I am not a great photographer, not even a good photographer, but I know that I took better photographs, back in the days of using my Spotmatic II, manual everything, than I do with my K10 and K5, auto everything, I know you can still use manual if you want, and I am not blaming the cameras in any w...

Got me a K10d!!!!
Since this discussion has become all serious... I don't think anyone could reasonably argue that adding the requirement of pushing a button painted green is going to make anyone a better photographer. In fact, the only reason that button is there is because Pentax "forgot" the aperture lever, whi...
