review k1
The K-1 is already the 10th best selling camera in Japan...... http://s.kakaku.com/camera/digital-slr-camera/ranking_0049/ Probably online sales only. -- That's interesting - I've just come back from Japan and couldn't get hold of one for love nor money! Saw plenty of pictures on the stand...

review k1
Well its put paid to all the complaining and moaning type threads we used to have, about why Pentax had failed to produce a FF ! It presents rather a challenge really .... No longer can we sit back and just say we want/need a FF, and how terrible it is to have to switch brands to get one. Somehow ...

Sorry if I was "late" to the show, but I never came across the two threads mentioned above! Come on! Nobody spots everything, so back off a bit :roll:

Linux distro for a total beginner?
Have used Mint - it's a nice distro. Great for old XP laptops! (Though some older laptops can only run 32-bit versions, and not always the latest version) There's a choice of window managers. Cinnamon is a good place to start. Have fun! Matt Thanks, and I hope I will have fun in a good sense...

Extreme Macro
An interesting and informative article. It showed me that my ideas on focus stacking were dreadfully ignorant. I have only tried it a couple of times - once on a fascinating small wasp nest - but my results were awful. I must learn how to do it properly :? .

Even black and white prints from film almost always need some burning and dodging to bring detail from the shadows and hold back the highlights. Then one has a choice of paper grades - a contrasty negative probably needing a softer grade paper to get the best out of it. But it doesn't stop there....

One of the points raised by others above was that every photo is processed. You may not have touched these after they came out of the camera, but that final JPEG was made based on the development settings you configured within the camera, even if you didn't' realise it or play a major role in confi...

I'm siding with Stu :twisted: I can see where he's coming from and I don't think it's simply to have a go at people on here (not all of you anyway :lol:) I remember touching on something similar a few years back asking if digital had made photographers lazy with respect to getting it right in...

But many of those photos RobL refers to in that gallery are composites or partially defocussed and others HDR'd. There might be one odd one without much PP, There's one shot of a young blackbird standing on a fence. The bird is sharp enough but the point it is standing on is way out of focus. Tha...

This was one of the first posts I read and the first post I responded to after joining your forum. My mind revisited the thread today as I was in the midst of post-processing a photo of an abandoned travel trailer (caravan?). To me, the image screamed to be in monochrome. So there I was, messing ...

Monopods
Got you Rob. I normally have my 560mm in the boot, when I attach it using the arca swiss plate. You'd have difficulty using this on a monopod without an extending plate. Inexplicably, the centre of gravity is further back than the threaded holes on the foot

Where is he?
Hi all - and thanks for the interest, Vic. Yes, I am still about - and log in to PU every so often to see what's happening on the planet Pentax. Thanks to AndrewA for drawing my attention to this, though. As Barrie mentioned, late last year a pro friend lent me another system so that I could d...

Where is he?
Traitor:lol::lol::lol: And I thought there was one sensible pro. out there using Pentax. You could try a K3ii which has improved AF and a decent burst rate. AH WELL! each to his own. I suppose one day you'll see the error of your ways and come running back with your tail between your legs. All s...

Where is he?
I don't think I could afford to switch back again, Vic - not for some time, at least - but I will keep an eye on the K-1. And calling me a 'pro' is a slight exaggeration!

Macro filter
Although I have a 100mm macro lens I don't always want to be carrying it around, so I decided to try a macro filter which as well as being slipped into the bag also has the advantage of not having to change lenses and exposing the sensor in the field. The one I chose is the Marumi DHG Achromat Macro...

Macro filter
I like #3 with the little white flowers, particularly the little purple details. Very nice. Have you ever tried the Raynox? With their clever spring-loaded appliance, the glass can be used with most lenses. And it comes on and off in seconds. I use it with with my Pentax M 100mm f/4 macro and a c...

lost photos
Recuva didn't work for a Barn owl shot that windows decided to enlarge my selection to include (needless to say my favorite of the many efforts I was keeping). I noticed it had gone immediately after deleting it direct from the SD card. Said card was then isolated until I had Recuva installed so ...
