Pentax prices at Focus NEC show & the Pentax stand...
I didn't assume you were bashing Pentax for the sake of it, rather that your expectations were somehow skewed and that you were obviously disappointed when the stand wasn't what you expected - that's a fair enough opinion to hold. I just sought to balance the argument. Although I spend more time ...

Well I'm just home from the show. Liked the Pentax stand and enjoyed my play with the 645D, Came home with a K-5 and a nice little k mount/M42 adaptor from the SRB stand.

With regards to Marketing..... I hate all Marketing Departments :shock: Leave the job to the boys in Engineering :mrgreen: As for Accountants :arrow: :P Trouble is engineers are perfectionists and will produce something that costs £1000.00 to manufacture. They are then happy to see it sell for £...

If you look back at cameras of the past, none of them would have been built by marketing or accountants :shock: and then where would we be today :shock: :lol: Well some would have at least been made such as the Kodak Instamatic's :wink: That's a marketing term if ever I heard one "Instamatic" wh...

Hi all, Just been to Focus NEC today.... K5 body - £879 YES....879. I was at Focus on Weds, having seen all the new Pentax kit at the SWPP London show in Jan I felt no real need to fondle what I can't afford again. But, I did spot the Jacobs prices... the one that caught my eye the most wa...

Pentax prices at Focus NEC show & the Pentax stand...
I rather liked the Pentax Stand. I went on Monday, and they had two 645D's to play with (as per my medium format thread) Most of the DA lenses were on either K-r K-7 or K-5 bodies to play with. The only things that were'nt on display for some reason, were the DA*200mm, DA*300mm and all of the Lim...

After which NASA will be renamed to NASAL and then they'll showcase new spaceships with newfound alien technology built in them. The first of many shall be called BSG9000. :) Kidding aside, it is very sad to hear that something like space exploration is taking a back seat due to the man made prob...

Kidding aside, it is very sad to hear that something like space exploration is taking a back seat due to the man made problems we have in the world today. I haven't follow it so what problems? Btw America doesn't have a space craft now so Russia is the only country now. China is also busy with m...

Are they worth the cost?
I agree with those sizes quoted John yet I'm sure that not all those buying a DMF would be producing large prints. Going back to the wedding album comparrison, they are not large prints and that is where the use of MF or DMF is questionable. I've seen some large prints from a guy over here who us...

Are they worth the cost?
For me, so far, MF has been a new experience after 35mm. The huge viewfinder and fact that I can change film type/speed mid-roll just by swapping film backs are very welcome, as are the interchangeable viewfinders. I've no intention of getting rid of my Pentax 35mm bodies as there are situations whe...

[quote:3496ace15f="K10D"][quote:3496ace15f="johnriley"]The medium format quality will be better and they are worth the money if they are what you need. We still need to define under what conditions "better". Can anyone tell the difference for similar size prints (format appearance accepted). Lets...

Are they worth the cost?
I find that I can tell the difference between the formats even at relatively small (less than A4 and probably as small as 6x4) sizes. It's not that the MF negative contains more detail (although it does, so it's a cropper's delight), it's the way a larger negative renders the scene. The colour/sh...

I hope this response will help, so here goes. firstly Vista is rubbish! No major company I know of went to Vista, they stayed with XP. I know, my job is IT support. XP is excellent, but will only recognise a maximum of 3GB of RAM. But, and this is a but, Since service pack 3 annd all the secur...

Surprise, surprise ... we all offer a different solution! The best place for Vista is a deep hole in the ground. XP and 7 are fine. Since the laptop is on contract - and presumably it has to be returned at contract end - then get a cheapie external hard drive and make a complete image of the lapt...

Grindingly Slow Laptop!
Been tearing my hair out with my partner's laptop - it's so damn slow! Try running ccleaner, it's free and cleares out all the 'junk' from your computer - temp internet files, cookies, history and all manner of other clutter. It's also got a registry cleaner for removing dead entries, and it has ...

After you make a compressed image of it, disable the internet connection and then remove all AV and Firewall programs. See if that cures it? If it does try to install just Windows Firewall or another free firewall such as Comodo. Make another compressed image so that you can go back to this poin...
