Hello everybody
Well I'm totally new to photography bar the last few months. I also went for the K-x after reading many reviews and have so far found it to be a great DSLR. There are others on PU who have the K-x and rate it highly. Hope you enjoy the return and a warm welcome back. Will

Hi from a big quiet lad!!
Hi Gordon....^^^^^^^ What they said :wink: But I'd add that I've learnt more by posting and getting some really useful C&C back. And I'd not done any photography before getting my istDL earlier this year.

Hi from a big quiet lad!!
Hi folks, I got a Pentax MZ50 about 6yrs ago from an ex work colleague having got back into photography when I headed for Australia for my 30th. Was using a kodak advantix for that 1st trip and wanted to do more as I had done a module at school. 2nd trip to Aus and I had an SLR and the change of ph...

Pentax Super A
Hi The bellows are made by Kenlock. Look like a miniature studio monorail 5x4 camera. Made for 35mm cameras with full tilt swing and shift movements, front and back. Have a T mount fitting so will work with any camera. Had them over 10 years now. Used 5x4 and 6x9 lenses with it. Turned up one ...

Pentax Super A
Bought my first ME Super in 1982. Both ME Supers were used for theatre photography as they were the quietest. Tried the Super A but too noisy shutter and mirror. Every time I took a shot everybody stopped and stared at me. Echoed round the theatre. Used one with 50mm 1.4 for groups and other with 8...

Pentax Super A
Hi I would like to know more about my Pentax Super A. It has a neckstrap, lens cap and a gold disk on the left front body that all state EUROPEAN CAMERA OF THE YEAR 1983. Never heard or seen another like it so could this be a special edition model. Thanks for any help or enlightenment. Bought my...

Hello pentax users
Hello I'm getting back into film again after a loooong time and resurrecting my ME Super. I have also just bought a Spotmatic with 50mm lens for nostalgic reasons (it being a camera that I would have dearly loved to have owned in my youth but couldn't afford). So will probably be asking a few qu...

A Silvery Surfer from Kirkcaldy.
Hello from 'Langtoun-Wullie'...a long time Pentax user. I started using a Pentax, way back in 1963, in Singapore whilst in the RAF....I've since worked my way up to a recently purchased K200D with the 18/55 zoom lens. Found it to be the perfect combination for vacation and family photography.

Welcome CJ. Dodgy choice of wine though. Try a decent Rioja and you won't go back to the vinegar you drink at the moment :D

:lol: sounds like a good formula to me ! Mind you, I bought crates and crates of Leffe back from France recently - Blonde, Brune, 9'er , Triple and something called Demon - 12% - wonderful stuff and soooo much cheaper than here. Actually , I should stress that I do like a nice cup of Yorkshire te...

Hi & Merry Xmas
I'm a total newbie to this Photography lark, so be gentle with me. I have recently bought the K100D + 18-55. My main interest at the moment has got to be portraits,(first grandchild :D). I have the kit lens & also picked up a Pentax A 50mm f1.7, altough i am having some problems focusing the ...

Hi & Merry Xmas
Hi Colin, welcome to the forum. :) Portrait lenses tend to be a little longer than general walkabout lenses, I'd suggest that 50-70mm is probably the best portrait length and 28-35mm is the best "general purpose" focal length. For a 50mm lens then the Pentax FA 50mm f1.4 is hard to beat value-...

Hi & Merry Xmas
since you already have the 50 1.7.... here's something to try while you're waiting for you're new lens... switch the camera to mf. set up your shot, using a teddy bear as a stand in for the grandchild. remove the bear, pose the child, aim the lens so the childs eye (closest to camera) is dead ...

Hi & Merry Xmas
Thanks all I think i will heed your advice Hefty and get the 50mm f1.4 to start with, the walkabout will have to wait, (unless Santa's feeling generous, and i will start hinting now,just in case). Don. i will try your tip thanks, maybe i can get some use out of the manual focus lens then.( may...

Hi & Merry Xmas
Colin, Agree with all of the above - I have a lowley K110D and some amazing glass. However, I return to the kit lens more than I thought I ever would. Once understood, it's very good. One thing to check for us who are visually challenged :P is the diopter adjustment on your camera - it makes a...

Hi & Merry Xmas
also picked up a Pentax A 50mm f1.7, altough i am having some problems focusing the 50mm (eyes ain't what they used to be). Any advice on a good auto focus portrait lens, which i could also use as a general walkabout, would be appreciated. Have about £200 to spend Thanks As I posted before on ano...
