Decent cheap trail camera
Ta again- I've just put an order in with naturespy for a Browning Recon Force Elite HP4, apparently the highest quality night-time video they've seen. They advised lowglow is OK, the no-glow tend to have lower quality image. Good choice! Time to confess that I've got the no-glow version of the same...

Decent cheap trail camera
I'd be interested in whether any shots - either night or daytime - are good enough for a print or whether they're more 'educational' rather than artistic? I've been toying for ages with a DSLR with a PIR trigger for some garden shots, wondering if this would be a more prudent approach. (Finally,...

Some help required here, folks.
I think you need to be more adventurous.... what about a telescope ? I've just ordered a chinese adapter so I can use this on my K-1, not sure if it'll be able to focus to infinity. Ideally I'd want to try it with the astrotracer function.

not sure if it'll be able to focus to infinity. I think you will find it will focus further than that.

Tell her it will take wonderful pictures of her mother. Don't tell her it can focus into bedrooms seven streets away.

Pentax repairs
No but have used; http://www.asahiphoto.co.uk/ twice for the 17-70mm. Once the lens had stopped monitoring the focal length - stuck at 43mm. He fixed that. It then did it again 3 years later but that time he couldn't get it sorted for some reason - a different fault. Sent the lens back at his expens...

Mobile Phone Apps for browsing C41 negatives quickly
I recently had to get a new phone with duel sim as my wife after her stroke isn't much good on the phone so I have her sim in with mine. In all the reviews the one which is highly praised at a good price is the POCO 3. Either the NFC or the slightly more expensive PRO. I got the 3 NFC. Also there i...

Mounting a lens from a folding camera onto a digital one
I recently posted some results from mounting a Trioplan lens that was in a Pronto shutter mechanism onto a K1. Here is a Schneider Radionar on a K5 as well as the Trioplan on the K1. Some members asked how I did it. To start, you have to acquire your vintage shutter mechanism (which wil...

Mounting a lens from a folding camera onto a digital one
Taken by the combination shown at the top of this thread, the acers look wonderful, the sun was out and in the right place for some back lighting and rim lighting. I am mightily impressed with this ancient lens. All of these have the sun almost directly behind them. I had to do things the old-fa...

Need Lightroom V3 Help file
Ever since I started with V1, I set Lightroom up to import new photos into a specific folder on my E: drive (PC formatted into C;, D: (apps) and E: (data), i.e. E:\MyDocuments\Caplio\ (The only digital camera I had was a Caplio GX8). Now I am on version 3, and I am stuck with it because my PC onl...

sigma 18-35 1.8 art
I have always found Sigma lenses inconsistent when it comes to focusing, especially the HSM versions and even the primes. I would dial them in with the focus adjustment on the camera and it would be spot on until the next time I mounted it when it would be out again even though it was still showing ...

Amazing AF
David, they might if you would spend GBP7,297 (WEX prices) on the same like for like Pentax rig (if they manufactured it). It's a mute issue at the end of the day. Pentax are not targeting such user requirements. When I know I need better AF, I use other kit for the task at hand, for the othe...

Amazing AF
I will be shortly selling my new K3iii - I have given up on the autofocus front. The number of sharp images shooting birds in flight is ludicrously low. I listened to the hype surrounding the autofocus improvements on the K3iii, what a mistake, it's back to Sony for my bird photography. I will reta...

Amazing AF
It seems to be the missed shots that drives the frustration with Pentax DSLR cameras. My purchase of two pentax lenses, da 200 and da 50 135 ended up with both sellers of whom i met in person leaving the pentax camera system because of this very complaint. All i can say is that, when i miss a pe...

Amazing AF
When considering AF tracking, shouldn't the performance of the camera and the lens be considered separately? Even the world's best body for tracking isn't going to do well if the lens doesn't let it (heavy focus group, long throw etc.). Similarly, even the world's best lens for tracking isn't going ...

Another outing for a heritage lens
Certainly at 600 it's a sod to focus but when you do nail it it's brilliant. It does produce donuts but as you can see above they don't intrude. What a shame all the birdies fled. I'd like to see some more of these.

Pollinating Insects
In my part of sunny Surrey the scarcity of most types of pollinators is rather disturbing. And this in an area that can be described as rural to semi-rural. My wife, a keen gardener, goes to some length to cultivate an insect friendly environment. This year we have seen one Red Admiral, two small ...
