Zoom lenses are the work of the Devil.
So the 42mm equivalent I get with a 28mm on my K-m is perfect then! :lol: I just like the way the M 28mm f3.5 behaves. Infinity focus comes up pretty rapidly and it shows very little distortion. I usually leave it on f8, focus, take a meter reading, and shoot.

Zoom lenses are the work of the Devil.
I haven't found too much problem with crud on the sensor when changing prime lenses, and I change them 2-3 times daily if I am using my camera. It's an idea to take sensible precautions, though, like holding the camera facing down and out of the wind, avoiding dusty areas and the like. After a chang...

I've heard that phrase "coatings not designed for digital" I'm baffled too. I've never heard this phrase before. Yes the lens will have a larger image circle to account for 35mm, but that's a feature due to the internal construction of the lens - not the lens coating itself????? Apparently the new ...

Forget Pentax... Pre-order your Mowogflex, now!
The Prime Minister has said that our economy is too dependant on City of London. We must have less reliance on the financial sector and build up our manufacturing industries. He said all this without a hint of irony, by the way. He seems to have conveniently forgotten that his party have been telli...

Well as long as its got cyclone technology, I'd buy one. Where do I send my blank signed cheque. You fill in the amount, I'm confident of getting my money back.

Oh, yes, Cedric!. Once the camera company is up and running, I fully intend to resurrect the once glorious British motor industry. Including, I'm sure you'll be pleased to hear, Motorbikes!... Then maybe, ships. As I'm sure you know, The Mini, VW Beetle and Fiat 500 have been succesfully relaunch...

Just back from Holiday
Bumped into this American whilst on holiday and he was going on about the images he had captured with his N***n D300 and he asked me what camera I was using. So I asked him to guess - so he started with Nikon? Canon? So when I said no, he then asked, Fuji? Sony? Again no, so then he ran out of idea...

How old was he? It is not surprising that many younger people have little or no knowledge of Pentax given that not many shops have them on display and there is little national advertising. Older photographers who used film SLRs will remember Pentax as a leading SLR manufacturer. Archie

Welcome back David - that says a whole lot more about the person you met, than it does about any cameras.

LOL. I've just turned 36 (today in fact!) and apart from a Centon camera my parents bought my in my teens, I've only ever shot with Pentax. I started with an Optio 550S, then a K100D, an Optio S, and Optio S3, a K20D and now a K7 and an Optio S7. Most folk look at me as if I'm daft when I tell t...

Most folk look at me as if I'm daft when I tell them I shoot with a Pentax Scot - I can sympathise with you there. When I joined a photography club where I work, I seemed to get a fair amount of (mostly) joky abuse for being a Pentax user from a couple of Canon users. This hasn't happened for a fair...

A question from Aluther "One question (as I am also kind of new here) – two themes that immediately came to my mind are not just photographing themes but might involve some preparation in a bitmap editor such as Photoshop. As this is a Pentax forum and gallery I assume the focus should be on what...

We are heading back into the realms of my old industry again - If I buy the raw materials,prepare them,cook them,and serve them then I am a cook/chef................. If I go to a supplier and buy the dishes ready prepared and frozen or sous-vide and reheat them then I am no longer a cook/chef sure...

Take a look at Anna Bodnar, is what she made photos or is it something else? www.annabodnar.eu Gallery 1 most will say all are photos but still some are quite heavily photo-shopped. Gallery 2 (vision) is another story many would say it goes too far but I still believe it are photos and not photo m...

Oh Dear - Just back from the meeting going to bed. Could we possibly come back to my point about what is a photograph as opposed to what can be a photographic basis which is then turned into an artwork / graphic/ daydream. Night night.:D
