Off to Italy hand luggage only...options on lenses please?
One of those gorilla -pod things? I certainly would try and take the 50 ... It's f1.8 isn't it? What's the max aperture of the zoom at 50mm .... Is it maybe f4.5... Quite a big difference ... You'll be able to get some nice creative close focus shots with blurry backgrounds with the 50 , handheld, ...

Changing exposure
Others will comment, but looking back up I see you have a k-5 camera. Something looks to have changed between that series and the k-30 that I have. In my k-30 I can select a fixed ISO value in all the modes you list, or I can select a band from which the camera is allowed to pick from. This ca...

More with Problems with photo director software.
HI Louise, I'd try this ..... Go back to the start menu item for running the programme ( as I described earlier) . Now, this time, once you see the programme run icon ( possibly within a start menu folder) right click on it .... Then choose 'properties' from the list. Within this properties wind...

Discount offers - a good thing or not?
A very pertinent question you raise...i've thought pretty much the same thing these past few months. I don't ever recall, (going back about 30 years or so) such totally erratic and unpredictable pricing on photo equipment as we are seeing now. I know exchange rates can fluctuate slightly...but they ...

Discount offers - a good thing or not?
I too favour stable pricing but the chances of it happening are about the same as someone buying a full price sofa from DFS. With the exception of very high end products retailing is increasingly driven by discounts and special offers - just look at the Black Friday monster we have adopted. Sadly no...

Epson XP760 - impressed!
Thanks Carl - useful info. That's the reason I'm going for the OEM inks in the CIS. I've heard good things about some 3rd party inks but I don't want to increase the risk of blockages. The 6-ink bottles available from Epson are still dye inks but apparently have less fade-resistance than the ...

Comments not being posted...anyone else had this happen?
Had something similar happen to me where pressing 'add comment' did nothing. It was my phones internet browser playing up, a quick text copy, browser webpage refresh, text paste back in and voila!

Idiot Son leads to loss of K5 + Tamron SP 70-200
I'm so sorry for your loss, Carl. When we save hard and agonise over every discretionary purchase things like this are a set-back. But, in the final analysis, you have to be philosophical: it's only "stuff", after all. No one's hurt and there should be a nice second-hand K5 out there as a replac...

Idiot Son leads to loss of K5 + Tamron SP 70-200
I don't know either of you, and while I understand the shock then anger of what happened, it's regrettable that you felt you had a need to broadcast that you think you have an "Idiot son" over the web (remember search engines list all this stuff). Not very loving or forgiving imho. Good luck thoug...

Idiot Son leads to loss of K5 + Tamron SP 70-200
IIRC certain mobile phones have a facility built in that enables them, when nicked, to receive a signal that effectively kills them - don't know if it's reversable if you get it back at some point. Might it be a good idea for Pentax and the others to build something similar in to their high-end mod...

Sorry to hear about this Carl. However if your own and the police suspicions turn out to be correct you may yet get your gear back before long. David

Idiot Son leads to loss of K5 + Tamron SP 70-200
A couple of years back my son was robbed of his Pentax K-R at gunpoint in Mexco. That incident was a timely reminder of how replaceable cameras are and how the absolute reverse is true of our children. Happy ending: I treated him to a K-30 for staying alive!

Why not on an MZ-S or Z-1p, using Velvia 50? think we could have done with this lens when film and auto focus was at its hight

Why I haven't been on the site so much in the past 6 months
Hi Everyone Just thought I would let you all see a couple of pics which explain why I haven't been around much for the past 6 months. It's sort of a 'before' and 'after' story of the ongoing renovations in our house. We have a 3 storey Victorian house, the bottom floor of which comprise cellar ...

Well Done David, I thought you had been conspicuous by your absence but not surprising. Welcome back to the "real" world :)

Thanks for the comments and encouragement everyone. Well Done David, I thought you had been conspicuous by your absence but not surprising. Welcome back to the "real" world :) Not quite finished yet Stan, I reckon on another 3-4 months yet, as there are another two rooms and the cellar stairs to...

Home Printing
I do a fair amount of printing for camera club competitions. As I often have to print more than once to get things as I want them ( despite a calibrated monitor and the use of ICC profiles), it can get very expensive with original inks so I have used various 3rd party ones. Initially I bought a fai...
