Why do we make art?
Stefan ,you can't always define what gives you pleasure / sense of achievement or what have you , but you certainly know when you have achieved it . Yes - sometimes it's just a record of somewhere I've been / something I've seen and when I see it again it brings back memories - occasionally painf...

Why do we make art?
Hi Stefan, My opinion on this is as follows:- We (ie me) dont make art, we record moments. Now we may record a moment that goes on to become art. Art in my mind is defined by our peers and for something to become art we need other people to like/hate it. But most of all we need people to d...

Why do we make art?
Well the first are all emotions triggered by hormones, a reason why drugs are so addictive. The second are all memories and instinct, the soul so to say (human nature in your words). Why do we've a soul? you ain't going to like it but evolution explains it. Creatures that are able to learn and rem...

Browsing at the NEC
We were there today, having a general browse and a more specific look at a few things. I got to handle a Pentax i10, even in white which is what I fancy buying. It says "Designed by Pentax" on the back. I liked the 16:9 screen and the imitation leather panelling. It was flatter than I expected, b...

what is art
Robbie..You miss my point, or I have not made myself clear. Pictures depicting the whole gammit of art when viewed on the web from an art gallery are a poor reflection of the real thing which needs to be seen from many angles and from a distance to appreciate the whole. Not so photographs which is...

what is art
Stefan back when I lived in Hong Kong a prominent building in downtown Hong Kong installed a replica of Michelangelo's David in their lobby. After several complaints by passers-by regarding the naked male statue, the matter was investigated by a quasi-governmental body known as the Obscene Articles ...

what is art
Robbie. I started this thread asking for a concensus on what is art in photography. I also asked that we read comments carefully and also respond carefully. Your statement that my reference to my grandson was ridiculous is offensive and beyond the standard that we hold with on this forum. Do p...

An LX that I want to buy
That's a fantastic deal! I bought a brand new LX / Winder / FA-1 set this week (it's actually circa 1995 but had been bought as a back up and never taken out of the box) for a stunning £200, but I think you've probably trumped my bargain there! :shock: They say things come in threes so I'm waitin...

An LX that I want to buy
Greg, I am going to ring Steve tomorrow, he only got back Friday and I thought I would avoid disturbing his weekend. I haven't managed to get to Hertford yet, unexpected rear motorcycle tyre issues (i.e., a nail!) and a sudden trip to NYC has made life a little busy. I'll pop over one evening this...

Polorizer Filter for Pentax KM - 18-55mm ?
Here is some text about filters, read it before buying something. Lee are expensive Hi-Tech is pretty good I believe and for a soft price Cokin is the more budget one but for the price they are nice :) One problem with those square filters is the reflation on the back side so from the came...

varifocals and viewfinder
I have the same problem. You end up trying to crane your head back to look thru the lower part of the lens. I'm told the effective distance from the viewfinder to the focus screen is about 1 Mtr. so your looking at reading/computer distance. I've gone for magnifier eyepieces on K20 and K200 and look...

varifocals and viewfinder
I have big problems getting my manual focus lenses focused with my varifocals. I don't have a split screen in the K10 yet, I'm hoping it will improve my success rate. I haven't tried this, but perhaps a pair of over the counter reading glasses would help ? The trouble is, I'd keep walking into ...

Wow - FYI New Pentax 1.7x FA TC's are on sale
I was talking about the retail store posted by the OP. Ebay is a better bet if you want to defraud her majesty's government though. :wink: Thinking about MP's expenses - would we just be getting our own back :?::lol:

Wow - FYI New Pentax 1.7x FA TC's are on sale
Am I correct in thinking that: a. This teleconvertor has the effect of making old non-AF lenses autofocus. b. The manual adjustment required prior to using the autofocus (to make sure that the lens is roughly close to focus) isn't too inconvenient. c. They will work with other mfr's Pentax-moun...

Wow - FYI New Pentax 1.7x FA TC's are on sale
The only AF mirror made is the Minolta/Sony 500/f8. I have a 1.4 TC for it but it needs very good light to focus in AF mode. Regards

Wow - FYI New Pentax 1.7x FA TC's are on sale
I doubt very much it would AF on a 500mm f8 .. the aperture is too slow to start with. Hrm, true, that'd be one slow arse zoom at that point. Maybe if there was enough light (I'm thinking about super bright day in the desert / ski top type of light), it'd be bright enough, but I'd also bet that ...
