Thanks Bill
I enjoyed a chat with Bill as I passed on one of the demo K1s at the NEC today and took the chance to back up David's suggestion of a Sheffield event at a later date.

UK Photo Show 2017 - Ricoh Pentax Stand
Just coming back from a weekend in Birmingham having been to the show. I was very disappointed with the Ricoh stand and perhaps a little embarrassed be a Pentax User. Their idea was to put a model railway on the stand but it just looked cheap and compared to most other stands you could tell no money...

UK Photo Show 2017 - Ricoh Pentax Stand
Good deal on the K-1 (free grip and one other thing) other special deals no better than what Chris usually charges. Checked out the trade-in versus a DFA150-450, show special price of £1599:shock:, even with a voucher, offered £100 for my K-5:evil: I still have K-5, LCE had no sale. Reps wer...

UK Photo Show 2017 - Ricoh Pentax Stand
Was curious to see a KP in the flesh but felt that the train set was not a clever idea for them. All it did was confirm to me that the autofocusing for moving targets & tracking was not up to par. Tried a few head on bursts of the train coming towards me in continuous modes, nothing in focus at all,...

UK Photo Show 2017 - Ricoh Pentax Stand
Just back, and despite previous comment I bought a couple of 'bargains'. Pentax stand left me a bit unsettled; when you spend a lot of dosh on a manufacturer's products it is nice to feel reassured that you have picked right. I just didn't get that today, maybe the staff were Insufficiently trained,...

UK Photo Show 2017 - Ricoh Pentax Stand
Stu62, which 3rd party lens was that? Re. Mirrorless, I am still underwhelmed by the examples I tried; the image in a Fuji viewfinder had completely blacked out shadows although the recorded image was better, the Olympus viewfinder kept switching to black/white for no obvious reason. The larger ...

Pentax K-3 Sensor cleaning advice needed
I would be careful with a rocket blower or you may get dust behind the focusing screen. Yes that is good advice. Be gentle with the blower and test your efforts by taking a picture of a blue sky at smallest aperture possible eg f22 focussed at infinity. You should be able to see the dust spec (or no...

Pentax Photo Gallery
Back to the start of this thread, the Pentax Photo Gallery is run by http://us.ricoh-imaging.com/ and it has a couple of expired links which shows the site isn't being well maintained. Probably the responsibility of an employee who is too busy/cannot be bothered. I guess the camera and lens links on...

Some thoughts from Japan
Back here in the UK, I attended an organised shoot yesterday via the excellent Timeline Events at the Black Country Living Museum in the Midlands. Maybe 50-60 people in the group. I did not see one other Pentax user apart from myself, mostly Canon/Nikon . Couple of thoughts: 1. Why do they shoot mo...

Some thoughts from Japan
Funnily enough, I also just got back (a week ago) from a couple of weeks in Japan. I went into a few of the big camera shops and Pentax always seemed to have a decent area with pretty much the whole range, cameras and lenses, on display and available in stock. All the display cameras I tried had...

Shift Lenses
The Lens baby Composer Pro II a tilt-shift lens rather than a standard shift lens like the Pentax 28mm F3.5 Shift, the Pentax one doesn't do tilt at all. With a tilt lens like the Lens Baby you can play around with focus areas, with the shift lens you can straighten out the verticals in camera on t...

K-1 owners: Have you gotten rid of your APS-C equipment?
I have a recently acquired K1 and a K3. Will definitely keep the K3- apart from my crop-specific lenses, the K3 has a much bigger buffer which is very useful when shooting run pasts on railways. The K1 has not been the quantum leap in high ISO performance that I was (perhaps naively) expecting. It d...

K-1 owners: Have you gotten rid of your APS-C equipment?
When I bought my K1 I stopped using the K5II. I enjoyed playing with my new toy and I particularly enjoyed the dual card slots (I use one for RAW the other for JPEG). I was perfectly happy with the IQ on the K5II but when SRS were clearing out the last of the K3s for a nice low price it seemed too g...

K-1 owners: Have you gotten rid of your APS-C equipment?
I guess as a retired person on limited income i've bucked the trend again. I've acquired on of the last of the £699 K3 II's from SRS this week to go with my 55 - 300 PLM lens (£249) which has proved excellent in use and much better for travel than my 300 star F4. In my bag i now have this and a...
