Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
The Pentax JPEG output from their compacts is (IMO) better than most of the others and the lenses are pretty decent as well (surprise! surprise! :wink:). I really liked the handling and JPEG output of the earlier Pentax Optio A40 and bought a P70 because it had the advantage of a 28mm wide end, b...

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
In days of yore I used to know that another year had passed into history by the arrival of the Miss World Contest. Required viewing in the 60s and 70s. Nowadays the pouting lovelies have been replaced by the equally reliable cry of "Where are Pentax?" when the FOI show trundles into town. The...

Focus on Imaging 2010-Where are Pentax?
I'm in marketing myself - exhibition space rarely pays a return. I cancelled all our exhibition space this year and spent it on other forms or marketing that have produced a decent ROI. George is quite right. And I'd rather be looking at pouting ladies =)

Photographs with flame in
Mike I've not tried this yet myself but what about mirror's to reflect the light back from the candle or some plain old desk lights or lamps. It's funny I was thinking while watching a program on the TV last night How they lit a certain shot (shadow, ambient light from a fire). James

Beam me up, Scotty?
Not yet but interstellar communication seems possible. Do some of you know some relatives far away, we are all made out of stars after all :) Also if this is true we can look back into time in a way or forward depending on your perspective.

Super Bowl XLIV
MotoGP.... now there's a sport with real skill and excitement :) Granted since WSB is no longer the full contact bloodsport it used to be. (I have looked into THOSE eyes :wink:) Absolutely, really looking forward to this season now that Stoner looks like he's back and on top form. Like you I ...

After post processing do you?
Just interested in what you folks do with your final images, I seem to be making all my adjustments, And then converting them to jpeg, And never seem to go back to them again. I know the sensible option would be is to keep a external hard drive, with all images in raw format as a back up.

After post processing do you?
I open the RAW file in ACR in Elements and once I have done any adjustment to the file I open it as a copy so the original is untouched. I then edit further in Elements and save as jpeg or PSD depending on the amount of work and what I intend to do with the end result. Not enough room to save things...

After post processing do you?
1# Upload raw files which are simultaneously backed up to a external drive and to a on-line server. 2# Adding meta data and keywords to raw files 3# Process raw files 4# Converting processed raw files to Tiff's and Jpeg Web. 5# Return back sometimes to re-process or change the look of a picture...

Price depression
The Canon and Nikon 50 1.4s are both under £300, whereas (again, excepting the current exceptional SRS sale) the Pentax is over £400. The only reason I used the FA 1.4 as the 'fast fifty' price is that there simply is no other fast prime available. If they were to announce this rumoured cheap 35...

Price depression
I've always seen Pentax as a more expensive but better quality brand with ultimately better optics as being the foundation of the whole thing, but when you start to see the likes of Sony and Panasonic muscling into the Digital market with some good products and a relatively thin Pentax range to comp...

The Realistic Wants List
I always wished they hadn't changed the focus screen from the KxxD series.This resulting in a very unpredictable exposure meter using Non A lenses. That must be a very minor and inexpensive change to do honour to their legacy glass. Flip side would be less sales on new glass, because much more peo...

On the subject of focus screens I wish pentax would do their own split screen for their DSLR range.

The Realistic Wants List
On the subject of focus screens I wish pentax would do their own split screen for their DSLR range. I'll second that thought, and if it metered correctly with old glass that would be good too. Perhaps, even (shock horror) an "uncrippled" k mount again. If they would reintroduce some of their acc...

And another vote for the 80-400 (or longer) in DA* guise. I also like the idea of a quality Pentax split prism focus screen that allows accurate spot metering without exposure compensation.

Another vote for the split focus screen from me. ... and another from me. Just ordered the K3 screen from focusingscreen.com - I do miss the split screen and microprism focusing on film SLRs (mind you, I still have some Fuji Reala 100 in the fridge, so I suppose I needn't). Andrew

The Realistic Wants List
1. Grid screen 'on demand' via the camera body like Nikon do, so no messinn around with focus screens. 2. AF that is as good as C&N. 3. 10-22 or 10-24 DA limited lens. The build/ergonomics/feel of the Pentax 12-24 does not impress me. (Tokina does it much better for FAR less money) 4. DA 50...
