Are you ready for the safety test?
Isn't this all to do with indemnity I wonder? The KWVR just protecting itself in the event someone comes to harm on the railway - those that have the pass that should know better and those who do not shouldn't be there in the first place... Just takes me back to the time when the North Wales C...

Pentax turns a Profit
Hurray! I hope so. Just sent my four month old K7 in for repairs along with my DA*16-50 in for the second time in five months. Almost all of my Pentax gear has needed repairs in under a year and takes up to twelve weeks to get back. I am sooo close to switching brands, if not for the huge inve...

Pentax turns a Profit
In my experience reliability is not a Pentax strong point. My K-7 has had warranty repairs twice :( but at least the camera was only away for a week or so each time. My *istD took 3 months to come home. :( Pentax should be more reliable. I hope profitability is cumulative, increased sales, greater ...

Icons of Photography
I have just been reading Amateur Photographer's column "Icons of Photography" in the May 15th issue. This column is normally my favourite in the magazine. The article this week is about the the Canon FT released in 1966. What I find interesting is that the author talks about Canon and Nikon i...

By the late 1960s the top press camera was the Pentax Spotmatic which had replaced the twin lens Rollies which in turn had replaced the earlier plate cameras. My experience on newspapers in the North East of England was that the Pentax Spotmatics ruled well through the 1970s before they were usurpe...

Two things upset the Pentax applecart. First, they were the last major manufacturer to embrace the bayonet mount. This was unfortunate because being able to change lenses quickly was important to press photographers in the days before good, fast, zooms became available. Second, Pentax bodies ...

Crossroads
With the Ds I didn't have the option of a grip. With the K20D the thing is so big I can't imagine what it would be like with a grip added. I keep my remote in a little keyring memory card holder I got free from Sandisk one time. I used to use the strap I got back in the dawn of time which had two...

Well, I am a K200D user, and the camera is on sale ... but only because I am eyeing the K7 ... I decided against Kx because I use the focus-point indicators and would miss them ... I like the weather sealing as well ... I like the top LCD and that saves me wasting batts on the main LCD view ... I ha...

I met a policeman one morning.
I am pleased to see that Sdeve has the courage of his convictions and is standing up for our rights. It is perhaps encouraging that our new coalition government is in favour of rolling back the assaults on our liberties perpetrated by the Labour government. They may have a few more urgent matters t...

Potential "crime scene", I mean you need to be convicted before a crime has been committed? Your cunning track of using the law to back up your actions. Canny that. Tactical trousers! :D Tactical pants (in the US of course).

I met a policeman one morning.
The police are not above the law (so I'm told). Their ignorance of the law is no more an excuse than ours. Worse is their abuse of our ignorance of the law. Just because you are police does not mean you shouldn't be questioned or challenged. It might irritate you but it should be part of the t...

I met a policeman one morning.
Having been in a road accident last year, if a member of the public was taking pictures, I would have been extremely grateful to any officer asking them to stop. A demonstration is a completely different scenario, of course taking pictures is in the public interest there. At the time you took the...

I met a policeman one morning.
What really sticks in my craw are programmes like Road Wars, where we see our loyal servants defending us from crime closely followed by a cameraman. The police are hardly shy about this, presenting to camera, defending the cameraman when the public get a bit miffed about being filmed. When th...

Sorry to be academic, can't help myself, but the term that should be batted around regarding this is called . An interesting read for about 60 seconds if you're keen. The crime-scene photographs seem to fall under normative relativism. Anyhoo, back to thesis writing.
