What is your technique to focus M lenses?
Trouble is I have no choice but to have a foot in both camps. All lightweight TV lenses follow the Canon focus barrell convention and on full facility box lens cameras the focus servo demand operates that way too. Clockwise near, anti-clock far. So when I've got my Cameraman's hat on I throw the foc...

How are drive letters assigned?
every time I plug in my two external hard drives a USB drive and an SD card they are assigned random drive letters, this plays havoc with back ups. Is there any way to nail them down so that, for example, my Packard Bell Store & Save always shows as 'H' or something instead of 'G' or 'F'? I'm ...

A pleasant evening
Spent a pleasant evening with Alan ( Fatspider) last night. With all the camera talk I am definitly inspired to get mine back out and do something with it. I've even said I'll get my MESuper out and use that again! It did remind me how much I enjoyed Whitby, I'll have to make an effort to get to...

A pleasant evening
Yeah, I saw that one a couple of days back, and I do love Fountains Abbey. But, we're booked to go to Derbyshire that weekend :cry: It seems every time I try to arrange something, then something else clashes with it. Alan mentioned the 40's weekend later in the year. I might take a look at t...

For your information...
I've just received a reminder from HMRC that, with effect from April 1st 2012, all items imported from the Channel Islands will no longer qualify for Low-value Consignment Relief (LVCR). The implications are that, irrespective of the import value, HMRC intend to claw back VAT on goods originating fr...

Old family photos
Your main focus should be on image quality - do you want to digitally reproduce images that are "okay", or pristine reproductions? Do they need re-touched to enhance the image? After this, I'd recommend/suggest cataloguing them (photos of a particular year, or holidays, or photos of your direct f...

Imagine having all this on your own doorstep!!...
They would have had to cross the M8 I wouldn't have thought that a problem in the small wee hours these animals generally wander about. I once spent the best part of an hour on the M25 whilst police moved some deer (smallish ones, I wasn't close enough to see, but quite fun to watch) back into a ...

K-x to K-5 upgrade
Hi Mandy I am a K-x owner (for approx 1 year) and I have also just bought a K-5 about a month ago. I can tell you without hesitation that the K-5 is a seriously great camera, but also that I still rate the K-x very highly too. For the money, I don't think the K-x could be beaten when it was bro...

Have You Converted Anyone?
I can claim two and three quarter converts where I work, 2 have bought into Pentax directly, another is currently borrowing my K20D (with a view to buying it) and another (who has a fair investment in C*n*n) has been teetering on the brink for a few months :) - These "converts" have been made primar...

Have You Converted Anyone?
I wish I lived in such an affluent area where the charity shops have camera gear of any brand :roll: On the bright side there are never any clothes that are my size either so can only assume us bigger blokes live longer :) I live in Derby, it's hardly that affluent :-P The trick is to ASK them if...

Have You Converted Anyone?
On the Yahoo! Answers photography section, there's more than a few keen amateurs thinking of dipping their toes into the world of DSLR. It seems that they are being advised by the CanNikon snobs that probably couldn't tell the difference between an F-stop and S Club 7! I always try not to talk down ...

Have You Converted Anyone?
It's a big deal if you have a big system. Many people have just a body and one or two lenses. Very good point. Should have thought of that. AAMOF, I know someone in that category. She's very keen on the whole manual focus, manual exposure thing. Access to lots of good cheap lenses, with t...

Have You Converted Anyone?
I might be wrong here, so I apologise in advance... When we were all using "analogue" (35mm) SLR's, Pentax were "up there" with the best. My own take on this scenario is that when digital came along, it was Nikon, Minolta, Olympus, and Canon (all specialists in the general field of electronics, I...
