very positive review of the MX-1 here
I don't want to ask him anything. Your opinion was that his review was sensible without asking him. I say his conclusion is disingenuous without asking him. I regard my opinion as valid as yours. I woudn't dream of asking you to go and justify your opinion and report back, so I am not going to. ...

very positive review of the MX-1 here
But, within reason, most serious photographers will be swayed, I suspect, more by quality of output than ease of handling. From a personal standpoint I'd have to disagree strongly with this. I was in John Lewis in Cheadle recently and had a play around with a few cameras (was actually buying a DA...

110 lenses
Sceptical as I am of home testing lenses, here goes. As John says the 110 lenses have no diaphragm since this was controlled within the camera mechanism so all shots are fully open at f2.8; as screwdriver notes the 50mm is noticeably better. All shots on a very heavy tripod and the sharpest focus...

110 lenses
To answer my own question above - No! Now have the 50mm, the 70mm adapter and Lensbaby aperture disks. Tried out at f4 in the sun and am getting a lot of PF especially with the 70mm. Also struggling with focusing handeheld, can't see the focus peaking in the sunlight. Results very average so far. I...

Pentax Q - yet another user review!
How are people finding staring at a screen instead of a viewfinder? My eyesight is getting a bit long so I never use the LV on the K5. Does this mean I would hate the dedicated Live View on these cameras? I think that will be a very individual thing, but I am now in my sixtieth year with 'iffy' eye...

Pentax Q - yet another user review!
I've taken the plunge and gone for the K-01 with 40mm pancake. The lens doubles up on focal lengths I have but it will 'make' the 01 I think, and by all accounts is an exceptional lens and great value. Back to the OP, I'm sure I'll get a Q soon enough. I keep hearing good stuff - mainly that the...

Pentax Q - yet another user review!
Uh oh, too late, K-01 should be arriving today. Why am I excited? it's just my K5 with stuff missing right? I'll be using it to back up my K5 at events without needing a sherpa, and for stuffing in my coat pocket on walks. Still peering over the wall at the Q tho :)

K01 Or Q?
Discontinued is a great time to get a bargain. that's why I purchased one and well chuffed I did never known a mirrorless format to focus so fast; love it.

K01 Or Q?
Personally haven't tried the Q, but I do own the K-01 and think after it's first firmware was released it became a super camera. I can use any lens and it DOES take great snaps. Personally I like the way it looks and feels, but hey I like different... Great camera with it's 40mm xs 2.8 lens combo. ...

K-01 and 40mm first impressions...
Well, it arrived :) and due to it's amazing low price at the moment, I thought some people might be interested in some fresh opinions now the hype has subsided. I'm happy with the size; that will easily sit in my coat pocket. The finger grip is silly - unnecessarily small even with the pancake len...

K-01 and 40mm first impressions...
Took it out to a dance last night (in my jumper pocket). Venue was extremely dark but the K-01 set to manual and auto ISO (thanks George :) ) and focus peaking, was an absolute gem! I used the on-board flash on -2 and it lit the whole 30m room easily. Standing on a table with the camera at arm's l...

K-01 and 40mm first impressions...
Took it to Cornwall hoping to have a handy pocket camera, but I couldn't bare to be without my lenses, so it went in the bag anyway :roll: The screen was hopeless in bright daylight, properly annoying and disabling. Need to look for one of those screen viewfinder attachments. Difficulty holding it...

A bit of a shock
Hi Andrew I also prefer a view finder, but as the screen is of the tilting variety, it does provide extra facilities to offset the loss. But it has not been as much of a problem as I expected, it does brighten up when you focus a shot, I don’t know if that is standard on better cameras. I will ...

Pentax Q close focus issue
Just updated it to firmware v1.12 and thought I'd try some close focus shots with the standard 01 prime lens. With the camera in manual focus mode I can shoot images reasonably close (5 inches) and have them in focus. But in auto focus mode, the camera fails to focus at that distance - you can see ...
