Thoramay - How could i forget those fish and chips at Totland Pier?? I loved teh Isle of Wight, and really hope to get back there sometime, but the trouble with our visits to the UK is they are increasingly taken up with visiting family and friends, and none of them live near the IOW :(. There...

IoW recommendations please
I would recommend travelling from Lymington to Yarmouth and spending a bit of time wandering around Lymington before you set off. On the way back, spending some time in the New Forest would be a nice end to your break.

Netbook vs travel lens
I use a ASUS Eee Pc 1000HE, 10.1 screen 9.5 hrs battery, SD slot, fits into backpack with camera etc. for traveling. I agree it's not much use for editing, but it does provide a larger screen than the camera back for viewing and sorting. For me it also acts as backup for the SD cards

Netbook vs travel lens
Gwyn, As one that has both, let me spin it around into a question for you. Which is going to get the most use for you and why, the netbook or the lens? The answer to that is something only you can answer honestly. Why I have both, is that I do travel a lot with my photography. So the lens is a...

Netbook vs travel lens
On the hoof quick editing, weeding out, quick review - netbook, but only if you're going to get a lot of use from it. Great for hooking up to the camera if you want to show your 'model' what's being shot. Or alternatively use an ageing DVD player? My only suggestion would be to get one with an SD...

Remote control for Pentax K-M with Auto focus capability ?
Non so far as I know, however there is an option in the menu to enable AF when pressing the button of the remote. So first it will focus and once it has focus it will make a photo.

Remote control for Pentax K-M with Auto focus capability ?
Hahnel do a RF remote. HW433-C1. This is for Pentax and Samsung cameras. I expect that it will activaate all Pentax but contact Hahnel and ask. I have just ordered mine from Bristol Cameras. My previous JJC model died on me. These RF remotes first focus and then fires the camera. Great for cl...

This is just one of the many varients on a theme that has been doing the rounds for the last year or so. In the 'industry' we refer to them as 'Scareware' infections, as they are trying to scare you into buying a product you don't need to fix problems you don't have, and to get back control of yo...

My man has worked his magic and the PC is back home, working fine with nothing lost. Just as I was picking mine up another guy was bringing his in with exactly the same problem

camera clubs
I know you are right, John. I cannot convince my club to have a website of any kind. I battle on because I want the club to have a future. If I press too hard we shall loose some of the over 80's stalwards. If I don't press for changes then we will not get new members. I refuse to join the Com...

Buying a dSLR....
Be aware that any "third party" lenses you buy may have as many issues as the original ones, if not more, and that lens warranties may be national or international. Hehe I suspect you put this one in just to prove it wasn't Pentax-specific. I don't think either Sigma or Tamron have ever managed to ...

Well. as a Norwegian member I much prefer the paper edition to a pdf. Internet is a wonderful thing (like this forum, for example), but not for reading magazines. There was a discussion some years back on the paperless office - I very much doubt it will ever happen.

I'm a former PU magazine subscriber. I gave it up as I got out of the habit of reading magazines altogether and prefered to spend the £19 on other things. The lower cost of £10 might make me come back to it (in the pdf form) if member benefits were included.

I've voted yes... with the proviso that all the other benefits remain included. To be honest, I've let my PU sub lapse, because I don't find enough meat in the magazine articles. From the glowing things people tend to say about it, I suspect I may be a lone voice here, but I often end up feeli...

I’m currently not subscribed, and I don’t think I would subscribe if the magazine were pdf only. Having pdfs available for back-numbers at a modest cost is great. Having pdfs available to non-members at modest cost could be a great way to encourage more people to take a subscription. A pdf ...

John, Dan, et al., I was just wondering if any thought had been given to a free ad-supported PDF version? I think this could work, and vastly increase your reader base. At which point you can hike up ad prices! I suppose it could be only for back issues, although I think you should go the w...
