Pentax UK does it again
You can still order the Big silver one in the back and two of the smaller silver ones on the right are also still in production and of course the silver limited lenses.

You can still order the Big silver one in the back ... Are you sure Stefan - my info was that it had been discontinued completely.

They can give you a credit by the picture they just don't want to although I guess a credit at the back is something (make it a long book surely?). Tell them to go whistle if they won't even do that and that would make me wonder about the whole project. So, as the others say check their bona fides. ...

A few years back I had a request from AVA to publish one of my photos that is on ePz ( ) in a Photography book being written by David Prakel. No payment was offered (and he was using lots of photos from many different people). Having satisfied myself on authenticity of request and proposed useage o...

IBAN transactions in Euros are required to cost the same as an intra-country transfer, at least from within the SEPA area. Translation? It should be less than €1. Of course, if you ask most UK banks what an IBAN or BIC are, they'll look at you as if you've just arrived from the moon. Shared cost t...

Are these really that expensive!
The genuine ones seem to have gone a bit silly. I have one (but I'm hanging onto it for now) and I also have a copy which works, but not quite as easily as the genuine one. It seems as though the copy doesn't have quite the right thicknesses around the mounting flanges, although it allows infini...

Are these really that expensive!
Compared to the Olympus 35mm-4/3 adaptor the Pentax one is incredibly cheap! I paid £13 for my Pentax 42-bayonet adaptors back in the mid 1970`s,At the time i bought a KM body for around £95, a Mars bar was 2 1/2p, Flying lessons cost £11.50-£12.50 per hour! So i don`t think that allowing you to f...

Karl Grobl gives up on Canon
I found this entry in his blog interesting: "Drizzly conditions make for slick pavement, which is great for photos but dangerous for walking. While photographing this flower vendor on the streets here in Hanoi about an hour ago, I stepped on a wet curb, slipped and fell, dropping my Mark II with ...

Fed up!!
I can't understand the need to reflect on the lense type or quality used, In my mind stuff the lense or the fancy camera, lets see some origional expressionist/impressionist/ modern pictures/ black or colour, in focus or otherwise with some artistic flair. sorry for my rant but thats not what the p...

Fed up!!
Ron, I'm with you. I'm trying to get a door put back on a room and get my darkroom functional again. I love the unexpected things that happen with film. making sure every pixel is perfect does restrict the art of some images. My favourite image of the moment is blurred at the edges and has barr...

Fed up!!
Thanks HG and Terry I couldn't agree more, Oh! my education procedes me! however while I agree with people wanting to have the best quality pics technically, we need to back it up with the best ideas! and results. I do agree with your perspective on the B & W pictures Best Regards Ron :D :) :D

Fed up!!
I actually bought some "crap" lenses because I wanted to see what sort of interesting, messy, images they could produce (and because they cost peanuts!) One of the big attractions of chooseing Pentax instead of Caninkon was the big range of old glass going back 30-40 years - of which very little...

Fed up!!
Lets be honest. Photography is not painting. It is a visual art and can be an expression of creativity, but it was created as a tool to record reality with the greatest fidelity possible. Most photography asks that you take care to represent reality with clear colours and sharp images. That said,...

Fed up!!
But I-berg is the wanting of the sharpest lens or the best camera not as much a crime as photoshop? It does not have much to do with making artistic photos, although a certain lens or indeed photoshop can help you get the result you envisioned like HG said so well and I think there is the line of t...

Fed up!!
Terry - I am sure everyone realises Stefan's point was tongue in cheek! (Hence the 'wink!) To be honest I find comments like that a breath of fresh air because the overall mentality of most people - or at least the ones that bleat loudest - on here is rather stoically anti-PP, and they do not wor...

Fed up!!
I think I'm drifting in the void between "gear faggotry" and "HDR hole". I needed HDR today and having never used it I couldn't get the K-7 to do it!!! I had an audience so I didn't want to mess about too much. I might pop back tomorrow.

What camera...
It's the standard SFX/SFXn grip. Pentax offered a slightly larger one to take 4 AAs as an optional extra, so it looks as though someone put the original grip in the box from the AA one and never swapped them back. I have both and can take some photos of the SFX with the AA grip fitted if desired...

The spoon and fork are what happen when you have some nifty halogen downlighters above the kitchen worktop and think "hmm, good place for close-ups of small items..." :lol: I'll be able to comment on performance after another 26 shots, but in purely tactile terms I have to say I prefer my MX.
