light tent recommendation please
Ebay light tents are fine for the work you want to do, and not flimsy at all. Wait until you try and pack it all into it's bag, it'll fight back.... I found these instructions to be very good. I have them printed out and kept with my ebay tent as I don't seem to use it frequent enough to remembe...

I do not dispute the 35mm capabilities but what would you use given the task? To be fair, not being privy to what the task was that can be rather hard to answer. I would not be surprised if the shots were medium format, or even large format, but there's nothing to indicate that they were. Nowaday...

I apologise for this......Planet Earth? Locally Japan. If you want it that bad, it's a flight away. :roll: Japan is not local to me. Get real. Just how many of the users here do you you think can afford a 645D, a crop of lenses to go with it, and the return air fair to go and fetch one? T...

Four or five years back, KLM had some really cheap return fares from Teesside airport (MME) to New York. The UK price of a Nikon 400mm f/2.8 meant that you could fly there, stay two nights at the Walcott Hotel (31st & 5th) and buy the lens from Adorama or B&H. After all of that, you still had the pr...

How often do you clean your contacts?
Good point about the lubrication of the seals. If they are lubed at all it would only affect the outer edge of the camera mount though, not the electrical contact area, but you could well be right. Anybody here on good terms with somebody at Pentax ( Chris@SRS specifically :lol: ) to ask the ques...

How often do you clean your contacts?
Everynow wnd then I clean mine - the 17-70 refuses to focus. A clean usually helps. However the other day it went into 'refuse to lock focus' mode, so Switched to manual and carried on. A couple of days later picked the camera up without having removed the lnes/ clean contacts and it worked no probl...

I don't think this theory works at all. You'r not wiping a clean surface over the contacts. You'r rubbbing a dirty metal over them. It does Barrie. One of the most common fixes in electronics is to simply unplug something and plug it back in. The action of scraping one contact across another cle...

Was it You
Just back from two weeks holiday in Northumberland. Did spot a Pentax user in the NT house a Wallington,Cambo on the 8th September but she was deep in conversation with one of the guides so did not like to interrupt to say Hi. Could it have been a Pentax user member? Les

hmmmmm anybody else have "moments" ?
Was taking a pic with the MZ-M, and checked the film back to see the image preview and histogram. I was slightly surprised to find there was just black paint!:shock::shock::roll:

You could cut out a 3" by 2" picture from a magazine and stick that on the back. Perhaps a lovely sunset, or some adorable kittens. It would give you something to look at... And confuse the hell out of bystanders.

Some shirt buttons, strategically glued on the back, would further the deception.

Went out yesterday morning with the K-7, came back to find I had shot virtually everything at ISO 3200 :roll: Actually they weren't THAT bad (grain wise) .. as for the content well that's another thing entirely.
