Do you / have you made money off of Photography?
Again, barely worth noting even going back as far as Zeniths and early Pentax films.......... One can hope but that is not why I take photographs, it is simply for the pleasure and the challenge......... Paul

Do you / have you made money off of Photography?
Back in the day I was a Security Officer at a regional shopping centre. During a shopping trip on an off day I saw a group of Officers running through the building and I took off after them. I managed to get a few shots of them arresting 2 males whilst some gave 1st aid to an injured male. I manag...

K-7 for a steal
...Was on the phone to my dad last night, can't remember where he said it was now but there is a classic car show coming up soon and the Vulcan will be there doing fast taxis and getting the nose off the ground :?: Interesting Gareth. Sounds a bit like Wings and Wheels at Dunsfold, but there's no wa...

I'll redownload and have another play! How do you get the them lines up again they show on the tutorial :lol: Hi Gareth, It sounds like you were trying to zoom in a bit too much there! I have not had a lot of time to play with all of the tools yet, When i first opened the programme the red ba...

Universal bayonet mount.
I dont think it is quite so simple or Utopian, there are other issues such as back focus and flange distances but remember Pentax was late to the bayonet mount. Some manufacturers lenses focus in the opposite direction so nobody could have checked away their legacy. Thinking of cars I wouldn't want...

Universal bayonet mount.
Doesn't just stop with the lens mount, though. Which auto-focus method are you going to use with your hypothetical U-mount? From that, which shake reduction system will you fit? The logical end is a factory in China (or maybe Transylvania) making camera bodies and putting "YOUR" badge on. Geoff

Shooting on film
Have you ever used a film camera or did you go straight to digital? Not as strange a question as it first sounds, I have said in the past everybody should use at least one film SLR before moving to digital, and caused quite a stir. Still, that was another topic a while back...:D

Shooting on film
My first camera was a Chinon CE-4,I had some great pictures taken with it.I then bought a 2mp Kodak which was pretty grim to be honest.The camera that hooked me back into photography was the brilliant Pentax S10. I currently use a K200D,Z1-p and Z-10,I enjoy using film more than digital most of the...

Shooting on film
Personally, I feel that technically I learnt most using film (but that is largely chronology, digital wasn't an option in the 80s) but artistically (if that is the right word?) I have learnt more from the digital era, largely because of the ease of (a) comparing multiple versions of a similar image ...

Shooting on film
I shoot both, and I've found that buying a DSLR has got me back into film as well. Thing is, with digital you can see the results immediately, so I think it's a much better learning tool (as opposed to film where I tend to forget what settings I used by the time I finish the roll). I do find tha...

Shooting on film
Yes I have and still do shoot film. 95% of the film I still use is B&W. During the tourist season I do Reproduction of "The Old West" where tourists dress up in 1875 era clothing and pose on covered wagons, log cabins ect. That along with the fact that it is hand processed the way it was back then m...

Shooting on film
I keep getting a pang to have a go with a Pentax 67... Hold that thought long enough and film will call you back to the 'dark slide':lol: To do it with digital you'll need the new 645...:wink:

Shooting on film
I took up photography in the mid 1980s, long before digital. I always enjoyed shooting and developing film. Making prints though, was a pain. I certainly don't miss that! When I bought my first digital camera (Canon A70) I was blown away with it. I put away my developing tank and threw away the che...

Shooting on film
It was the ease of getting bodies from ebay that got me back to film, I always liked the simple, easy feel of a manual SLR, my first one being a Zenit 11 which is still around somewhere. The first SLR I ever used was a Spotmatic owned by my art teacher, I now have 3 different models and have used...

weather sealing.
One of my worries when using the big 100-300mm zoom is always that the camera won't fit in the bag with it (as my first move in the event of rain would be to put it back in the bag and get the Lowepro "AW" weather cover around the lot). Luckily I think the weather cover is stretchy enough to go over...

weather sealing.
I use my DA18-55 and Tamron 70-300 when it rains - neither is weather sealed, but at the same time I didn't pay much for either so it wouldn't be the end of the world if they did get ruined (I'd be a lot more upset to lose the FA77 for instance!). As it happens though neither has come to any harm...

weather sealing.
Going back to the original question, I think there's no doubt that the sealing on the bodies works.:D What does worry me is how daft we all are for going out in stupid weather in the first place!:wink:
