Cameras are threats of terrorism
Hmmmmmm ! I`ll tell you what Ted - some years back I thought those Photosniper rifle grips were pretty cool - I`m bl**dy glad I didn`t get one now in today`s climate - I`d probably get tasered and blow the electrics on the K20D.................................. Tony ( gave the camouflage combat...

Cameras are threats of terrorism
This guy who emmigrated mistakenly walked through JFK airport with a bow strung over his back. That was well before 9/11. He mightn't have survived doing that these days. As it was, he was released and it was all put down to an eccentric English guy. :lol:

You should see the reactions you get when the boot of your car contains: Saws Tree loppers Gauntlets Shovels Axe Yes there is a valid reason. If I'm carrying that little lot it's because I'm part of the setup crew for a motorsport event and may need to convert an overgrown mess back into a...

DIY lens repair
I have this elderly 70-200mm one touch zoom. . . . . The zoom / focus ring is very loose and I'd really like to improve the damping on it. I can't be worth the cost of repair, even by my nearby, really reasonable bloke. So I want to get an idea of what to do. Has anyone on the forum got any exper...

DIY lens repair
As a rule of thumb prime lenses are fairly straightforward to dismantle and service whereas zooms are a nightmare. That's not to say it isn't possible, just that your chances of getting everything back together are Kate Moss slim. If it's a fairly cheap lens (and from what you say I guess that it...

Interesting thread.... Owning a Nikon D3, you seem to get elevated into the arena where the camera is a tool of the highest quality, same applies to Canon EOS 1D - the owners are far too busy to look down on the rest.... Equally - something that is galling for D3 and D700 owners is compact own...

I like the analogy of car makes, as a couple of years ago I said a similar thing on another forum. BMW = Canon. Arrogant, wanting to take over the world. Mercedes = Nikon, went through a lean patch where products were not so good, but back. Still big and has an air of "superiority" Jaguar = Pen...

I proudly walk around with my Pentax and can't help noticing that Canikon owners do seem to look down on me (probably as I am only 5ft 8in)- it makes me smile :D It has a major advantage though as not one of the Canikon crowd bothers to speak to me about my camera etc so I am left alone to take p...

I only wave at fellow C900 drivers (and 99s if I see one) - does that make me a bad Saabist..? And the headlining disintegrates and falls down... I've just driven back from town with the headlining resting on my head, guess a call to Steve Lewis is in my not-too-distant future... :(

No thanks, Hefty. My days 'on the tools' are over, but I'm still a registered MoT Tester. We never did a headlining properly, that's a job for a skilled trimmer. I did stick a few back up with spray adhesive. - You could give that a try, before getting it done properly.

Bringing the thread back on-topic for a sec, here's an instance of 'Pentaxian Cameraderie' that maybe sets us apart from others... Yesterday evening, I was bimbling around by Bath's Pump Rooms, taking some shots of an old Routemaster bus that was parked there. This chap walking by (without any vi...

Photography Year Books.
Totally endorse that, certainly in the sense that these books are a great source of inspiration. If you want to go further back in time, also look out for Photograms of the Year.

Packing problems
Choose the most comfortable. You really won't feel a couple of pounds extra on your back if the back pack is comfortable. Otherwise consider packing the zoom and/or flash in your pull along, well protected by your clothes.
