Double Camera Straps
I have the Chinese single version of this (and it is/was going to be in that package I mentioned a while back) ..... much cheaper and virtually identical. The double version has just arrived in the office too ... I'll pick that up today, both knock-offs of Black Rapids methinks, Whatever make you h...

M42 to pentax k1000
The genuine ones are definitely better made - the bayonet fitting is quite a complicated bit of machining and not all the 3rd party copies manage it terribly well. If you don't fancy shelling out £30-£60 for genuine then make sure the 3rd party one you buy looks as close as possible to the real t...

todays quiz
No, the registration distance on M-mount lenses is too short. Even if you could find an adapter you'd be unable to focus to infinity. If it goes cheap it'd be worth picking up anyway - plenty of folk on eBay would give you good £££ for it. :)

New Challenge?
I agree it sounds a good idea, though I wouldn't be up to it either. It would be good if those taking part could also explain (in words of one syllable) what they have done to achieve their results, so those of us not so skilled can learn from it too. As far as the original comp goes, it was Stef...

Formatting Drive
On an external box the drive needs to have an Extended Partition not Primary Partition. If you've had it running in the past as your main boot drive it will be seen as a Primary Partition. That's why the computer is trying to see it as Drive D. You need to delete or change the partitions on it(se...

Formatting Drive
The drive was originally in an Acer laptop but not the original (that was 40gb). Just seemed a shame to trash it whereas it could be useful for making a copy of images when I`m on holiday. The machine I am trying to delete it on is an Acer running Windows 7. I can`t put it back into the original ...

How do you make a link read 'Link'?
Mike, errrrr :oops: its meant to represent some kind of screeching, whining and whinging sound. Not very clearly I'll admit. I think I popped it on as I thought my humanist diatribe might be too provocative. I'll go back to my rational kit list sig if I can find where I stored it. EDIT: sorted ...

Thanks for the additional information. This is not a partitioned drive, as I originally stated. It is a seperate drive. Not sure why there were two drives put in this machine but it has its uses as a photographic set up allowing me to back up to the second drive. Will follow your advice and hop...

This is why I hate Windows Vista/7. Too protective. I went back to Windows XP Prof, SP2, and I'm happy again.

It's a good idea having a 2nd drive on a system. It speeds up jobs like movie conversions etc. Sadly MS dropped Winfile a few versions back. I still use the old NT 32 bit version. It does have access from the menu to permissions, but I'm not sure if it will work without the tweaks mentioned in th...

Getting well out of my depth here If the PC was made up specially for you, perhaps it would be safer to go back to that person to solve the problem?

Why would two drives need to be partitioned? Cannot they operate as separate entities. The two drives do operate as separate entities. A new 'virgin' drive contains no usable data. For it to be used by any operating system (Windows. MacOS, Linux, Unix etc.) a drive is partitioned to form a bou...

If you can't install tightVNC for Peter to have a look exactly what's on the 2nd HDD you are probably better taking it to someone local or getting a mobile tech to call round. If there's nothing other than the old Vista on the 2nd HDD the drive manufacture will have a downloadable Boot Disk that ...

You will have to check the SN but I think something like Data Lifeguard Diagnostic for DOS http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=502&sid=2〈=en is what's needed. Make a bootable floppy as described on that page or download http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp...

Shooting Black & White
Some help please I have searched the dreaded instruction book for the K5 and cannot find the answer to taking black & white (mono). In the digital filter set up you can choose some filters in set up but not mono. The set up for in camera post shot PP, does have mono, but does that mean you have t...

Back to Pentax - What shall I buy?
Hello all, Well hard to say but been using different DSLR and now I'm really angry for my present one. Just ordered some prints 9x6 and had few from my old K200D and from present camera. I'm willing to sell my present set and buy Pentax:)Prints from Pentax with Sigma 18-35 are wicked compering to m...

Back to Pentax - What shall I buy?
The K20D is a terrific camera. We are still using two of them and although we will be upgrading to the K-5 in April it's not because we don't like the K20D. I suspect that there aren't many good K20D bodies around as people will tend to keep them, so keep your eyes open! I'll probably have a K...

Back to Pentax - What shall I buy?
Thanks John for reply. Do you think that K20D can be use for weddings? I've been using my old K200D for general photos, such holiday, parties, some portraits, and seems to be fine, maybe that FPS issue:/ Do you think that 16-45/4 will be a good choice for lens? Well I think if I buy K20D will be fro...
