How do you store your images?
It's odd how we feel the need to back up our digital images to 1-2-3-4 or more (I do) but back in film days we only had the one negative..!! ... stored in archival quality hanging files in an appropriate filing cabinet in controlled conditions... Still, they wouldn't survive a fire. The main poi...

How do you store your images?
The main point is that with minimal care negs, especially BW ones, will last a long, long time, a hundred years or more, fairly easily. For an extreme example, see: . None of our memory cards, HDs, CDs, DVDs will last that long. Even more of a problem is that the format of the files on those d...

How does this work then ?
Yea I saw that as well. It was the dof and the f2.8 that initially drew my attention. 😂😂 Yes me too.. I was wondering why it was still in focus....

SD card recommendations
Extreme Pro or equivalent. I am a bit blase about card unless both cards fail simultaneously. Sandisk Extreme Pro 32mb 95 mb/sec are insanely cheap these days, I paid £15-20 for the last ones I bought at Focus/Societies. Even on K-1 it takes a long time to fill slot 1 with RAWS. I always sho...

[quote:3496ace15f="Mike-P"]If you aren't happy with the way Ricoh are going then vote with your wallet and change systems to one that does. Many many people have done just that and to be honest I think that has probably hit the brand quite hard, there have been a lot of very good photographers leave...

Sadly I am one that is starting to move to another brand. There is no one main reason for the move. A lack of lens choice, a lack of choice in general, and the AF is what has done it for me. I wanted a 70-200 f2.8 in the days of my K10. I am pretty sure Pentax did not do one back then, hence a Ta...

I've gone to Nikon/Tamron for wildlife shooting, and I couldn't go back, it's just better, faster for birds in flight, and the 600mm reach on the Tamron makes a huge difference for my type of shooting. It's sharp as a tack too. I will be keeping my K3 for Macro, landscapes and everything else thoug...

stu62 just moans for the sake of moaning :shock: Sometime ago he was moaning about the . It was released and because he's now moaning about other makes of 70-200mm not being available I presume he never intended to buy one. It would be the same if other makers released K mount versions. He wou...

Just as an observation, I think Pentax/Ricoh have been caught in a changing market. Their cameras are just as good as they ever were for taking photos. That hasn't changed and capability wise in this area they are still fine. What has changed though is customers expectations of what a camera ...

Pentax can't rely on sensor/image quality any more, now it's the camera features that make the difference. Oh that’s a really good point there. Pentax has always been able to eek more out of a given sensor than the rest. To put imaginary numbers on it, they could get 48 where the rest would get...

as some one said you cant keep going on reputation Seems to work for Morgan Cars 14% growth last year.

Presumably he was trying to focus on the grass every time, but the camera kept being fooled and locking on to those damn annoying cars screaming around !

I think Pentax is just taking a different direction to the one I want and others, I assume, from some posts I've read. I shoot a lot of wildlife and macros, virtually no landscapes. When I started with Pentax/Ricoh it was manual focus, lots of travel landscapes, family snaps some wildlife and motors...

Pentax interchangeable lens compact.
Yes thank you all - I had this idea in the back of my mind that it was possible to use k mount lenses on one of the Pentax compacts. My wife is not very happy with the mixed results she gets with her Nikon compact and, as my dslrs are too heavy for her slightly arthritic hands, I thought it was an ...

Multi-exposure
One of the issues with photographing interiors is when exposing for the internal conditions the views through windows are very overexposed. Also you quite commonly use a wide-angle with which a single flash doesn't cover well. Online tutorials get over this with multiple exposures including one with...
