I do like my k20d,but buying the k5 was the best decision I made.The k5 is light years ahead of the k20d. Care to elaborate as I missed the K20 and got the K7 to use alongside my K10. The K7 is not light years ahead of the K10. As far as IQ goes, non of the Pentax DSLR's are light years ahead of ...

Does Rain Stop Play?
I never had any qualms about shooting in the rain prior to WR, obviously being sensible enough to keep the toys in their case until the last moment. Last winter I was caught in an unexpected sleet and snowstorm with the K20D and wished I'd had another camera to photograph it covered in snow and i...

Does Rain Stop Play?
[quote:3496ace15f="Mannesty"]What's rain? :twisted: was our local town in Spain last year. I bet the local thought it was the end of the world:lol::lol::lol:[/quote] That kind of rain is quite common here. We don't get drizzle and endless damp days. Wall to wall sunshine for months on end, then a d...

Does Rain Stop Play?
Yes, I definitely go out in the rain, in fact did so on Sunday morning with a couple of Pentax users who were delighted to learn that their K10D and K20D could easily cope with the drizzle we had then. Back in February I was out in much heavier rain, with the K10D and DA*300mm, and they got soake...

How times have changed
I took the carpet up in our back room this weekend, as I am decorating. Under the underlay was some old newspaper, dating to 1990. There was a photo competition and one of the runners up was of two children playing in the sea: wearng nothing but arm bands and sun hats. The shot was taken from behi...

Amsterdam
Amsterdam is a great place for photography. I worked their for a couple of months years ago, and would love to go back and take snaps in the same places. I remember there's some excellent graffiti. My old 35mm negs from Amsterdam are on the list to scan!!

Amsterdam
In my 20s on an inter-rail trip around Europe I made the mistake of going to Amsterdam first. I was intending to stay for a weekend but eventually staggered back onto the train 10 days later... :lol: The moral of this story? Wait until your last day to sample the local delicacies!

Pentax User Articles
Excellent news, Thanks Dan. I'd particularly love to see some of the Macro/wildlife articles, from back Issues that had sold out. (issues 3:2009, 4:2008, 3:2006, 2:2006, & 4:2002) All of these sounded interesting enough for me to have brought if the issues were still available. I don't rememb...

Laptop with seperate monitor
Go for an IPN (I think that's the right acronym, or is it IPS:? - if it's not others will no doubt correct me), but definitely not a TN panel. The Dell 2209WA is a good value IPN one - available at ca. £200-250 (though over £300 direct from Dell). I'm sure others will be along with other suggestions...

A moan...
I know that Pentax have centralised their offices in Europe for the usual company reasons. Unfortunately this is really slowing repairs as parts are taking weeks to get to the uk repairers. I've been waiting 3 weeks now for my camera to be fixed. Apparently it will take the technician 20 mins to fix...

Wooden tripod
I'm sure that there's someone on this forum with a Pentax 1000mm he posted some photos a few months back from either Australia or South Africa? They were a touch on the soft side.

Wooden tripod
The super telephotos like the SMC K 1000mm f/8 are listed in the catalogues of the time as coming with a wooden tripod. Has anyone ever seen one of these? Are there any photos on the web? I am just curious as I have never seen one and haven't had much luck finding an image of one via google. T...

Wooden tripod
The accessories seem to be rarer than the actual camera or lens in many cases - take the little tripod spacer bush which was apparently provided with all M series bodies to stop certain lenses from hitting tripods, it took me ages to come across one of those! I don't remember those. What does it lo...

Wooden tripod
Apologies for bringing an old thread back from the grave, but having never seen one of these for sale, there are currently two of them on ebay. Sadly, the UK one isn't in as good a condition as the much pricier one in the US...

What do you shoot?
Don I know - actually I'm getting lessons in Apple Glasgow on Aperture - I posted that piccie of my Tutor last week :) I don't learn well from books - and I find the Apple trainers are very very good - they make you do the work but they also 'hold your hand' as you do it and make sure that you...
