I just got my set of K200D focus shims from Johnson's. They've taken around 5 weeks to arrive, but they had to wait for a couple of them to come in. I only dealt with them on the phone, they seemed very friendly & entirely professional. Would I have gotten a 20% discount on the shims if I'd m...

Are personal callers welcome at Johnsons? Has anyone had anything repaired while they waited? My 16-45 is in need of repair as a bump on the front of the lens has caused the focus & zoom mechanisms to jam. I would also quite like them to take a look at my K10D following the drop 18 months a...

Thanks for all the information on here and I have just registered,. I was just about to send my camera off for repair at Johnsons and thought that I would first check that I have the correct address and I am glad that I have, as I came across this forum. I am amazed at what information you can get ...

In my experience, unfortunately, their performance in simply servicing my K-3 to fix an autofocus issue a couple of years ago was not "impressive" - had to email them several times to get some "action", and then, when they finally returned the body (fixed, it has to be said), they failed to return t...

The 'sheep' reference refers to the fact that a lot of first time buyers of cameras 'follow the herd', (canon/nikon) rather than doing a little research to find an equally good or better alternative. One reason Pentax sell less cameras. This certainly explains how I and, I suspect, at least a few o...

Forth Road Bridge in fog
Nice pic, looks grainy so I'm guessing it was taken on a mobile. Shame it wasn't straightened before being published though. I think when you are perched a couple of hundred feet up, with freezing cold winds swirling about you, and an icy-cold bath awaiting some distance below you, your mind tends ...

Film vs Digital Books
Most newcomers to DSLR photography are so mesmerised by the instruction book's focus on operating what is essentially a computer that they fail to learn the basics of photography -- the relationship between aperture, shutter speed, ASA (sorry, ISO), depth of field and composition. These haven't chan...

Film vs Digital Books
Moving a way from books a minute here's a site that might inspire :- http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials.htm As for books I'd say go for it. I find that there are lots on offer in the local charity shops for a fraction of their former price. Read it, take in what it has to offer and...

As good as it gets. The Hanging in Iran takes me back to Dahran where they publicly beheaded murderers and rapists etc. A large water wagon then cleaned up the area of the square. Never seemed to stop further, similar crimes though. Best regards

HELP spyder
The program itself will be set up in such a way as to automatically direct you to the activation screen, but I would imagine that there is a "back-door" via their website. Try going to their website, and look for a site map. If they have one, simply look for the activation screen from there.

Any recommendations for a Wedding Photographer - Nr Aberystwyth
Perhaps they are simply busy enough that they focus on the jobs that are more profitable, or fit with the studio 'ethos; they are trying to develop? I guess it's their business and they can decide what terms they operate on!

What's missing here?
Just looked at that lousy site: The Pentax K-01 has 872 comments in the News announcements the Nikon D800 has 288 comments in the same section :shock: " Maybe all the Pentax comments crashed the system :mrgreen: Pentax Nikon ============================= Of course without even ...

Film processing for an idiot
I have shot my first roll of film- on an MZ7 body with FA50mm 1.4 lens- very enjoyable. (I know it may not be the discerning choice so don't snigger) I am completely ignorant what to do next- I have an exposed roll of Kodak black and white film which I know is processed in the same way as a colou...

Film processing for an idiot
There is nothing onerous, difficult or mysterious about any aspect of it. Even I can do it. Probably still could if I dug out the kit from the back of the cuboard under the stairs (my darkroom) regards Bernard PS if you get into it big time you can (or could) buy big rools of film (I think 20...

Retailer Advice
At the end of this month I'm in the market for the SMC Pentax-DA 12-24mm F4 ED AL. I have bought equipment over the counter at Clifton Cameras and by post from SRS, both faultless, but neither are the cheapest for this lens. SRS were until around a week or so ago but have just increased it by ar...
