Aha! But will the images taken survive the journey back! Would you use digital or film? Would the film be out of date by the return and un-developable? Would the silicon chips just become rock? Ops! A little negative that, I'd head of back and find Nell Gwynn and see just how good her oran...

I'd like to go back to the cold war. I think Mutually Assured Destruction is much more representative of the human condition than all the dodgy "peaces" we have today. It was also a much better environment for engineering. Of course there were lots more Vulcans and their friends then too. 8...

I would think that the images would survive the trip, otherwise there wouldn't be a lot of point! :lol: On the other hand it could be interesting working out what gear to take. I think for pre-SLR era I would want an MX, 40mm f2.8 and a pocket full of film as it'd be easy to tuck away and avoid d...

Depends on how long is, well, long. There are a couple of fairly common and rather lovely Pentax zooms (SMC Pentax-A 70-210mm f4 and SMC Pentax-M 80-200mm f4.5) to keep an eye out for, the latter was also sold in the K series (marked SMC Pentax without the -M). Both will give a prime serious competi...

well Stephan, I think the sony pelicle mirrored cameras are gonna smoke everything else when it comes to af and video combined...... but that matters not to serious video shooters who would be hard pressed to top a pentax "M" lens for manual focus abilities.... I got an m 50 1.4 and an 85 soft foc...

I still obsessing over the idea of a FF Evil... with kmount.. Samsung does all the r&d and pentax only has to re-badge and add Pef to the firmware... Pentax did consider the video market way back when.. and Samsung really needs a pro level camcorder..... (1980-something Pentax Nexa video recor...

I still obsessing over the idea of a FF Evil... with kmount I think I miss the point from that, you still need the correct register distance for the k-mount so it won't make the camera smaller... it would be better to have a DSLR like they are now and if you want to be EVIL you can use live view :wi...

here is one other reason to ditch the pentaprism and mirror box... say you're samsung, and you have a ff sensor, and Pentax k mounts... you take pentax sr system, and mount the whole sr and sensor on a rail that you can move forwards and back in the space that used to be occupied by the mirror... ...

I see the K-r will have focus points illuminated in the viewfinder. And interestingly a Li-ion battery with an adapter to take AAs. More news on Thursday.

You could have used your cash for another lens and exercised the old fashioned way - walking in the fresh air:wink::lol: On second thoughts if everyone did that I wouldn't have the countryside to myself quite so much - I take it back:idea: Simon

The thing is most professional rugby players are classed as obese. Since when has eighteen stones of solid muscle been obese?:wink: A friend of mine took up climbing as a way to get fit, having already lost some weight. He then found his weight started going back up, but it was all muscle mass. ...

I was thinking of standing back and using a long lens. Also, watching people on the bouldering walls, they look quite graceful.

This is where it all started
I second that Ted. It's good to see you back Amin, and to see some more of your 'experiments'. Keep up the good work.

Magazine subscription
Back in July I decided to take out a subscription to the User Magazine. After I received my first copy, the magazine (sadly) folded. According to this web site, I should be contacted 'by post' about 'refund options'. Has anyone else been contacted yet? I'm still waiting...

Robbie, I don't think anyone minds you sticking around on the forum, but if you do stick around, I think making snide personal comments about other members is especially inappropriate. Quite agree .. you need to be a Pentax owner before you can do that :lol: Lol! Yep, point taken! It bothered me tha...
