Pricing of Prints.
I plan on selling A4 prints, mainly because thats what I have the most of, at a tenner paid upfront on the day or fifteen online. I can then sit back and edit and offer various versions of the images to try and secure more sales. Thanx for the link btw :)

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
Lots of speculation too that Pentax were locking people in with rebates on K5s just prior to the increase, and/or that Pentax are about to release a super camera which will justify the prices... I know you are only commenting on speculation .. but how on earth has the launch of a new camera got anyt...

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
Interesting though, the FA Limiteds have not increased in price..... Mind you this is US prices, maybe Pentax are now looking at their market, as they upped prices on ours a couple of years back.

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
If you think that then you need to start checking online prices again. They are indeed offering higher profits because they are stating the minimum price their products can be sold at, as per their adaptation of a Unilateral Pricing Policy (see other major brands). B&H or Adorama are a good place to...

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
It reminds me of the various predictions of the apocolypse/armageddon/rapture etc. which crop up every few years. They never actually happen but folks go on predicting them anyway. Whether or not my speculation is correct Ricoh/Pentax will be doing what they're doing with good reason. Just becaus...

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
Mark, you seem to have an almost religious faith that Pentax know what they are doing... I have a religious faith? Seriously? Sure, big companies make mistakes. Even so, nine out of ten mistakes don't kill them and if it's disingenuous to suggest people shouldn't be distraught about what they per...

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
Initially it was you replying to my post to begin the 'conversation' (and it continued with each of us quoting the other's posts) not vice versa ! No. This particular thread of the conversation was begun my reply to johnriley's post. Not your's. John's. The previous thread of conversation was OVER a...

I'm too stubborn. My failing. You and me both. And don't come back with some sarky comment about how I was leaving the thread. Would I do that ! John best delete our personal tete a tete over the past two pages. This has gone on far far longer than it should have.

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
Well let's deviate slightly away from conflict and just consider that over the decades manufacturers have contstantly been trying to wean us off 35mm format onto smaller formats. Half frame, 126, 110, Disc, APS....and finally, with APS-C digital cameras they have pretty much succeeded. Why would the...

Pentax lenses price increasing by 15-90%?
APS-C is actually a very usable format which first saw the light of day in film cameras. It didn't succeed in replacing 35mm partly because they never brought out any really good APS-C bodies, and partly because people already had 135-format kit, and didn't want to change. Now, APS-C digital cam...

UK price increases are here :(
Oh well. Looks like I won't be buying either of the Pentax lenses on my wish list for the foreseeable future......both already up by £150! Every time I get close to buying a DA21 the price jumps. Better blow the cobwebs off my old manual focus Sigma 24mm then for travelling light.

Jessops fall out with pentax
There has certainly been a marked absence of Pentax gear in my local Jessops since they had the half price lenses a few months ago. The range of lenses on the website has dropped markedly as well, so whatever the reason they are definitely scaling back on Pentax equipment. Last time I was in they...

Jessops fall out with pentax
When I was considering the 12-24 or DA15, I stumbled across the DA15 in a local Jessops. I had the K-5 with me so tried it and although I hadn't planned to jump in an buy it, I was going to until the response to a casual question about the 12-24 slagged off Pentax, at which point the DA15 went back ...

Jessops fall out with pentax
I must say I am happy that Jessops are stocking Pentax. With Canon and Nikon so dominant, it's great to see Pentax back. Don't forget guys, Jessops is pretty much bank owned and they will dictate what money can be spent each week. When you have people waiting for Canon and Nikon stock, what wo...

Jessops fall out with pentax
Jessops were great when they had a few shops and sold really useful non-genuine accessories (like my K mount monocular convertor or third party MEII winder clone with intervalometer). The shop fronts now seem to be full of canvas effect prints to promote their printing services rather than equipment...

Jessops fall out with pentax
I think that has been, over a few posts there, quite a demonstration of negativity and quite a rude way to say hello to anyone. Ranting at people the moment they walk through the door doesn't seem encouraging to me, or conducive to a proper exchange of ideas. It must be very difficult to decid...

Jessops fall out with pentax
If you think the statement is faulty, rather than accusing people of not telling the truth why not point out the discrepancy so that it can be looked into? Hurling insults does not reflect well on anyone. Let's stop the responses in this thread being so OTT please, it's not the way to communicate...

Jessops fall out with pentax
Accidentally I've had a look at K-5 advert on jessops website: http://tinyurl.com/cam8whl What a bad marketing, around 0:52sec they show off with continues shooting - by taking pics of a plane, just after that they go through couple of frames, first looks ok as expected, then the rest is not in ...

Looks fine on my PC, are you seriously expecting an internet ad purporting to show 7 fps frames on the rear LCD to look like HDTV or something???? It definitely doesn't look good, subsequent frames are not in focus/blurred (clearly visible from around frame 3 in sequence around 0:57s) it is not abou...
