Prices of yesteryear.
I've just been looking through the December 9th 2000 issue of Amateur Photographer. That issue has an article about Pentax screw mount cameras and lenses, by Ivor Matanle. Probably why I bought and kept that one. The adverts at the back make interesting reading. SRS had a full page Ad, that wee...

It's a walk down memory lane.... It's a bit like the Baz Luhrman song "everybody's free" Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97 Wear Sunscreen If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, w...

Prices of yesteryear.
At some point back in the 1980's I have written the following prices next to some of the lenses in my "Pentax Lenses and Accessories" catalogue. I think its quite interesting as some of the lens prices are pretty close to the current second hand prices on ebay. There are some notable exceptions of c...

Now if I ever get my time machine finished I'll go back and purchase a few 85's and 135's. Not if I get there first! :lol:

STOLEN 5704746 135A*
You have to be a bit clearer about what you are saying, it is so abbreviated it is unclear what has happened. K. Sorry :oops: One guy on our italian forum posted few days ago what happened to him, he bought that lens from China, once received sent it by Italian Post to one repair center just t...

The Odd Things We Do
Buying a camera with multiple program modes and AF, then just using manual everything with thirty year old lenses... I always think the K/M/A series lenses with pull out hoods are very neat. It becomes a reflex to pull the hood out as you remove the lens cap and push it in when you put the cap ba...

I do the "looking at the back of the film camera" thing now. Even with my original '70s KM. I'd have thought that using it would be different enough to remember that it isn't digital... :lol:

Taking every lens and bit of kit you own out on a trip "just in case" and then shooting everything with the one that was original attached Guilty as charged, although I am getting better. Miss the shot of a lifetime because you press the shutter only to hear...Beep Beep Beep! you left it on 1...

Large kit bag
I have a Tamrac Expedition5 backpack. That will easily carry the Bigma and a whole lot more. I have had a K20D, the Bigma, the DA17-70, 50-135, A 50mm 1.7, Tamron 90mm Macro, and a flash, plus a load of extraneous electronics (image tank, GPS logger etc) chargers, filters, cables all in mine. And ...

DSLR Situation
I don't really see the likes of the PEN doing much harm to smaller DSLR sales, as for what you get they seem rather overpriced to me. Very elegant certainly, but not that much smaller than a K-x with the right lens fitted and the K-x gives you more options. I bought an EVIL - a Panasonic GF-1. Yes -...

to establish some compelling competitive advantage
Personally I think the mirrorless camera section of the market a la the Olympus PEN is going to grow and become a significant sector of the market. Not only does it attract newbies, and people who want better than a compact but not a dSLR, it is also gaining many fans from people who like to use old...

Images must be from a Pentax/Samsung camera...
it is my impression and experience that the mods on this forum are very reasonable and quite laid back (certainly by comparison to other forums I have participated in). I therefore find it very unlikely that John Riley or any of the others has the time or inclination to sift through the EXIF of ever...
