Rocky Cameras??
Hefty1, many thanks for the info. I had just figured it out myself, it amounts to sort of an interrupted thread. Just insert the filter, give a little twist and voila! But of course no one else used such. Ah, the hoods! I've seen what might be such for (gasp!) $60 or so! I guess I'll l...

Leaving Pentax
Hi John, sorry to here it, I too started with a Pentax MX back in 1979 and have remained with Pentax ever since, currently using a K20D. I'm fortunate in having most of what I need and would like to have lens wise but must admit the lack of some products in Pentax fit is disappointing to say the lea...

Thats the old manual focus 1:2 version. While I admit no one really needs AF most prefer to have 1:1 magnification in a macro lens.

As it's manual focus, extension tubes would be a practical proposition. G

Aren't Sigma in the process of making their new 150 macro in a Pentax mount, I'm sure I read it a couple of moths back on this very forum?

Camera Bags
I use a Lowe Alpine Primus AW and think it is great. Plenty space for camera + lenses in the bottom section and other kit in the top section. It has a tripod 'bracket' on the outside and has a rain cover for really bad weather (although unfortunately the rain cover won't cover a tripod if you have o...

Recommendation for small backpack, ( m/cycle)
I myself is using Tamrac Evolution 6, of which is perfect for K-5. They have a slightly bigger one called Evolution 8. Nice and packed, I can fit my K5 attached with 55-300, 16-45, FA31, DFA100WR, M50 F1.7 and my Lensbaby Composer into the lower compartment. I suppose you can remove the grip w...

If I don't get this back off the faulty memory card I'm gonna be well annoyed! Might be worth trying to download it through the Camera -> USB cable ?????

Looks like I'm resigning to the fact that I'm not getting the photos back, data recovery software can't find 'em :( For those that are interested I did shoot a couple of videos of the K-5 problems with my iPhone which I have uploaded & .

Cards went faulty in camera which does support 32GB cards. All readers we use are original Sandisk SDHC readers and SDHC supports upto 32Gb so no issues there, as we did use these cards for 4 weeks or so until they corrupted. PC Inspector does seem to find the PEFs and is free, just slow and a...

Pentax CSC Rumours
I am going to buy the new aps-c evil if it has advanced video abilities and kmount... It won't be a k-mount or else they can't make the camera smaller than what they are now so they would be unable to compete. It would be interesting to see if Pentax would go into the micro 4/3th pack... I'm thinki...

Pentax CSC Rumours
Hmm, I should probably complete my set of Auto 110 lenses just in case. If they use the same mount (not beyond the bounds of possibility, given this is Pentax!) I could see Auto 110 gear becoming even more expensive... :lol: Seriously, I'm slightly amazed by A110 prices. I paid £20 for a tidy cam...

That'd be carrying Airbus components, it's the modern version of the old Guppy and Super Guppy transports. I think the proper spelling is Beluga, like the caviar?

Caveat Emptor
I think that one has changed now. As a seller you can settle a resolved claim and the buyer will get their money back. It's only if you continue the dispute that the money stays in limbo. But as a seller I prefer to use Amazon rather than eBay. They are much easier to deal with and the seller ...
