Billingham Hadley Large/Pro
Thanks. Billingham have just rung back and are able to do a set of dividers for me. It makes the bag a bit more expensive than I hoped, but still o.k. Appreciate you taking the trouble to help.

Hi Terry Can't get much simpler, or cheaper, than a Pentax M 50mm f1.7 and a set of manual extension tubes. Likely to set you back around £60 for both and the added benefit is you will have an excellent prime lens for low light as well. Manual focus only, but that tends to be better for macro ...

Quote :- "The automatic lens will remain at its maximum aperture until you take the shot; this makes the viewfinder image much brighter and therefore it's easier to focus accurately. Regards David" Please correct me if I'm wrong, David, but I thought ALL Pentax K Mount lenses (not just those wit...

There is another much simpler option that has not yet been mentioned in depth and should be considered. That is buying a macro conversion lens such as the excellent Raynox DCR 250 Macro scan conversion lens. These just clip on to the front of your existing lens (filter thread needs to be betwe...

Waist/belt bag advice please
Keith I think it is going to be impossible to get one answer to your question. I take it you mean the Lowepro Slingshots and not Vertex? I have owned and sold both the 100AW and 200AW - they were just not suitable for me but I know others who love them. You will not know unless you try one ...

Waist/belt bag advice please
How about a Lowepro Toploader 75AW. I just bought one. It will save me lugging back pacs around.

I've never shot food Gary, so if this is absolute rubbish, please ignore, but I do like to dabble with still lifes and close-ups now and again. I would go for natural, soft light and play with DOF, shooting at F2 to F4 with a 50mm lens, or a slightly narrower aperture with something like a 135 wo...

I've done it before. two points.... get it in writing, they pay you weather they like the photos or not, and nobody handles the food except the staff that normally handle the food... ie if it goes from chef to waitress normally then that is who handles the food... the food preparer is responsible...

Movie Making?
I've only used it once but I think the resolution got knocked back quite a bit but there may well be settings you can adjust. Glad you found it.

wireless cable release for long exposures?
I did buy a cheap one from Ebay ages ago but it doesn't keep the shutter open in bulb mode, another problem is that it has quite a narrow range so it won't work unless I'm stood in front of the - does anyone know if the SRS ones operate from behind ? I think whether the IR remote can reliably be us...

wireless cable release for long exposures?
I have a very cheap IR remote bought off ebay and it works perfectly for long exposures in bulb mode with both K-x and K-5 (K-x only has a sensor on the back, K-5 has one front and back). You just need to ensure you have the menu option 'Remote in Bulb Mode' set to one press open and one press cl...
