According to Ricoh Imaging France

Back in the ME/MX days flash sync was only 1/100th sec so at least we've nearly doubled it! I wish I knew the proper use for the variety of flash sync settings I see when I press the flash button. The camera manual gives a hint for their use but doesn't say a lot. John K no we've halved it.....:...

According to Ricoh Imaging France

So... are there any surprises from Paris? No :wink: Thanks, I'll let you all back to flash synch speeds then.

Does your camera make you smile ?

Ah they released it, the DF? Looks quite nice. It's a similar idea to the K7/K5 series bodies though isn't it? A 'compact' high end camera? But of course the DF is full frame. Pentax struck a better balance with the K7/5 cameras though, retaining a front and rear edial rather than shutter speeds ...

Does your camera make you smile ?

Like I've said I don't need this camera and FF is wasted on me, in fact the whole camera is wasted on me, in fact the more I think about the more I cringe about the price of this happy camera, BUT. the short time I had with it I loved it, I would only have 3 lenses with it, the 50 that comes with...

Does your camera make you smile ?

FF is wasted on me Man I am sick of this thought process. It's like there's some magical level you have to obtain before you're allowed to have better gear. I'm all for maximising what you can out of what you've got, and making the most of the tools you have/playing to their strengths and all. H...

Does your camera make you smile ?

I suppose I am thinking about going old school and back to basics. Grab a few rolls of Ektar and an MX (or Nikon FE for that matter). The original models, not this pumped-up digital version which looks like a 1970s SLR on steroids; where the dinky little control dials are the real deal, not a chintz...

Does your camera make you smile ?

I have to say that both the Sappy and Nappy cameras have piqued my interest. Not because of the FF per se, but because of the retro type ergonomics. It's also possible that Ricoh will release a Pappy camera in the not too distant future and no doubt we'll also see a Cappy Camera too. But I can...

Amateur Photographer and Pentax

If I remember correctly he uses a Pentax himself - something about him using one or two for weddings is ringing a bell with me :D At least as far back as their K10D review (as assistant editor if I recall correctly) I think he demonstrated a soft spot for a Pentax (as well as others - I am not su...

Hmm no more Pentax on Flickr

I always found it odd that so few cameras kept a simple viewfinder. It was one thing I hated about older rangefinder cameras. The SLR was a revelation in clear viewing. The direct viewfinders are inaccurate, messy to use close up, easily occluded by lens hoods and give no idea whether we have achiev...

Pentax and the K3 on the Catwalk

Just nice that it was Pentax. All those who say that having Ricoh on the back of the camera is the beginning of the end of the Pentax name, may have to think again. Having Ricoh on the back isn't about doing away with the Pentax name, its about raising the profile of their other cameras by associ...

Bequeathing your flickr images

I don't think its a legal issue, more an education issue. People really need to think about backup of media on local devices as well as online. Just this week alone three people I know have lost their phones with precious photos on and did not back up any of them. When I explain to people about b...

Bequeathing your flickr images

This is getting into a back up conversation! Well I have a NAS drive as well as Flickr! If anything happened to me then my wife could access my Flickr account and change the necessaries over....... or just delete it :lol: Ruth wouldn't want my music collection. Hip Hop isn't her thing ! Hip Ho...

New Adobe CC Cloud deal

Sorry John, i should have done a search first. Although strangely the forum normally brings up a warning to say there are similar threads already, do you really want to post. Didn't get that this time. Please delete the thread if you would rather there wasn't another thread running. Mike, i agree...

Comet Ison

I was just curious what tips & hints any astro gang members here might be willing to share regarding photographing which is due next month & January. Do you really need to go to the back of beyond to get a suitable dark sky? Thank you -Johan

Comet Ison

The comet is on its way towards the Sun and it needs to be viewed from a dark site through binoculars. It should be visible here in the back of beyond. It is currently cloudy (and snowy) but forecast is better next week. I am hopeful of getting an image. It will pass around the Sun - it might em...
