What's your preferred post processing software?
I used Serif's software a very long time ago but got tired of their constant marketing phone calls and ditched them. My experience too. Took a loooong time before going near them again. Then had a look at Affinity Photo towards the end of last year and... Affinity Photo, excellent. Agree 100%. The ...

The short version of this story is my K-3 camera appear completely dead! I arrived in England yesterday for month to photo shoot England.... I am now in Devon, where might I find a pentax dealer. I am now willing to buy a new K-1 As the sun set, spreading its golden lustre upon the hills of D...

Give SRS a call and I'm sure they could arrange an ultra-fast courier to your hotel or a local post office. Just explain the problem and hopefully within a day you can be back in action. SRS: 01923 226602

Camera Died???
In your situation, I'd ring SRS, tell them what happened, what you want, where you are, how they could get a camera to you. They are very good, always willing to discuss and help. And tell them you are a member of this forum. Alternatively, what about Amazon.co.uk or Photospecialist.co.uk? They o...

Hi JA, pleased things are moving on and that it seems you'll be back with a working camera very soon. What a time for your camera to die though. I can imagine how I'd feel if I'd just arrived in Canada and it happened to me. Trust you'll be able to really start enjoying your visit to Blighty afte...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
An interview in Imaging resource with Ricoh executives (there is a link in f-stoppers) on 14 May indicated where Pentax is going in the future, and it isn’t mirrorless. They are evolving the FF and MF body ranges in DSLR as well as the Ricoh range, but suggested that many of those who switched to mi...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
I am just irritated by the mirrorless fanatics convinced that everyone will eventually switch when they realise how much better it is (sic). Why cannot both systems coexist to suit different preferences? Am I cynical to think that Sony are behind this massive campaign to render all competition obsol...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
I've tried mirrorless cameras and can't stand those awful electronic viewfinders, as for focusing using a 'touch screen' what a load of faffing about! Probably ok for the 'phone snapper' ( don't get me started on THEM! ) but definitely not for me How old was the EVF you tried? The early ones were c...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
It read like a light hearted interview, lots of laughter. However I wasn't expecting them to say that they expect some (I guess a significant number) people are going to return to DSLR's from mirrorless :shock:. However they know their business and customers better than I do, so good luck to them. ...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Pentax are already spread far too thinly to properly focus on any of the formats they make, APS-C in particular has suffered in the years since the K-1 came out. They should stick to DSLRs, bring out a new flagship APS-C model, update all the limited primes (DA & FA) and the DA* lenses. Becoming a...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
I get that Pentax are stretched too thin to move into mirrorless, but am wary of what that means in practise... Their own APS-C range has at times been spread quite wide (their own doing) with lots of variations on the same theme. K-50 vs K-S1 vs K-70 vs K-S2 vs K-P vs K-3 ii etc. You'd free up...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Back to the original question. What Ricoh/Pentax said sounds like they are positioning themselves as a high quality brand within market sectors which they believe to have a good future and in which they know/believe they have strength and reputation. They will not be working in areas which would req...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
I've been lucky enough to play with a few bits of kit that were not mine recently. These being an OM-D EM1ii and EM1X as well as a K-70. Things that really surprised me with the K-70: K-70 just feels so much more responsive than my K-5. K-70 is more comfortable to hold with its deeper grip. ...

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Hi Dan, I tried some at the TPS as well, as you say the lenses are large and their weight is a real problem on the smaller bodies with inadequate grips because they feel so unbalanced; most of the weight is carried by your left hand supporting the lens which makes manual focus awkward.

Don’t hold your breath for a Pentax mirrorless
Hi Dan, I've added some olympus m43 bodies and lenses and was waiting for the olympus 300 F4 to be released and then.... it was heavier than the DA*300 F4, a lot more expensive and a bit bigger, all for a camera that has a smaller sensor than the APS-C pentax. It seems that this was a choice olympus...

The one that got away 3
Mine “one that got away” happened when I was fishing on the Rio Casiquiare in the Amazon at sun-up one morning; a recently born Jaguar cub drinking on the side of a muddy pool with the dried up umbilical cord still attached to his little pot belly; then the mother appeared and stood alongside the ...
