Gutted: I dropped my camera and it's broken :(
Your link is not working for me, so maybe that's broken too? :| Rough, a gutting feeling. That timelapse is a killer, I'm honestly thinking DSLR's are not the way to go for this as it's hundreds/thousands? of actuations for decent eventual clips. Also if the final output is HD then you only need...

Gutted: I dropped my camera and it's broken :(
I feel your pain. I lifted one of mine out of its bag on Saturday to find a lump the size of a pea missing from the left hand shoulder. The piece was thankfully in the bag and is now superglued back on. Impossible I know but the damage looked as if the part had been knocked out from the inside. A to...

Thanks Ken. It turns out that Wex only do warranty repairs so I will try dpm's idea with the mount. If that doesn't work then I shall take a drive over to Watton in Norfolk and see what ACS are like. They don't charge for estimates and will inspect the camera and lens and get back to me within a ...

Just had a service report back from JPS: REPLACE MIRROR MECHANISM CALIBRATE AND ADJUST ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT BOARD CHECK AND ADJUST FOCUSING CLEAN CCD Total £264. It doesn't indicate any action with regard to the lens, so I assume that it suffered no damage in the fall and is okay:D I've...

Had a similar accident with a K7 almost pulling the lens mount from the camera. Unscrewed the mount completely and removed the screws still in place. Replaced mount and screws and it worked ok but there was a slight buckling of the mounting plate so sent off for repair under Jessops (old shop) insur...

I dropped my much loved K5 a while back. I was riding my bike and it popped out and hit the grave road!! :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops: receiving a big scrape on the base and other abrasions on the softer bits. The polarizer was unusable :oops: After calming down and a thorough check out I couldn't...

So, it's finally back. Nearly 7 weeks, numerous phonecalls and a lot of promises and excuses later I finally have my K5ii(s) and 12-24 back in working order. I have to be honest and say that I was not too impressed with Johnsons service. Initially they had to wait for parts (fair enough) but th...

Similar story with Asahi Photo. They have had my 16-50 since the end of January and I have yet to get it back. I always have to phone them for an update. Unimpressed.

Why not choose an Insurance policy that will provide a loaner while your broken equipment is in repair? A bit like car insurance.... I guess the hike in premiums will be worth it. (for all of us) Either that or buy a body from eBay then sell it afterwards. When I totalled my GX20 I got a te...

Topaz DeNoise v LR
Well, I always figure that if its taking a long time then it must be doing some serious stuff! If batch processing and speed are a priority, then a solution like Lightroom is going to be best - Topaz DeNoise works on a single image at a time, although it's settings are stored from the previous use w...

How to I roast Photo's to a CD please?
No problem. Come back if there's an issue. I didn't want to start a new thread about this problem. I tried following the instructions on how to burn a CD in windows 7, but a notice kept coming up asking to put in the right CD I put in a TDK and a Verbatim disk, but it wouldn't accept either which ...

How to I roast Photo's to a CD please?
Have you burnt CD's before on your machine? Music maybe? Did it all go ok? Are you trying to burn too many photos to a CD? They (CD's) have a maximum capacity of around 700mb of data. That could easily be only around 60-70 High Res JPEGs, certainly on my K5II. The CD burner software in Win...

I'm with Ken. Remind me of that horrible stone cladding that was in vogue back in the sixties Dave.

If a portrait photographer started to use this than all his photos would look the same. At least with black or white you can use gels, backlights or distance to make them look different. My thoughts entirely but it is a laugh getting them back in the bag! I used to make the Party Political Broa...

Don't talk to me about Olan Mills.......Terrible set up, conveyor belt photography. We had a family portrait done there many years ago. Hateful place. Thank god it is no more in the UK. AS for these back drops, I think I prefer going to Castlefield in Manchester and you are undercover due to the ...

No, I do not want to hi-jack this thread, but ... For some time I have wondered about the insistence on Pentax Cameras, but not on the lenses. OK, so with a digital, the body does the initial processing; but with film, the body merely hold the film in place. So if I put an E.German 58mm f2.8 ...

Protocol
Having good, sensible and appropriate rules is important, I can agree on that. Personally I would like the strict focus on Pentax to be relaxed but I can see the difficulties as well e.g. just wait for users leaving Pentax to enter into eternal arguments justifying their leaving and posting up 'supe...
