Wedding dilemma...
A wedding is a very stressful, fast and unforgiving job. Usinf unfamiliar equipment is IMO a huge mistake. If you are going to do it, then use your own Pentax gear, but perhaps hire a backup body from SRS to be safe. Another K-7 would be ideal. You can shoot most if not all of the wedding using ...

Wedding dilemma...
I think I'd lie and tell the unfortunate couple that all of my gear and therefore photographs had been stolen rather than ruin a professional status by providing such shoddy results. Then give them their money back (even if it came out of my bank acount). Bernard

USB Cables
Thanks Bernard but that still means buying some extra cables so in the end I think I'll stick to ripping to the computer and burning to the disc. Though it seems longer it also seems safer. I just thought there might be a simple way to let the laptop talk to the desktop. AH WELL BACK TO THE STONEAG...

Sony World Photo Awards
One of them was a bit like one of those wedding photos where a kid's hand got caught in the shot by mistake. This time it's the top of someone's head! (The one with the white and yellow walls.) The Youth Award winner of the old gent with the soldiers was quite well taken. The Arts and Culture ...

RPS or not ?
When I was at 'Focus' I finally decided to become a member of RPS but am still wondering if this is a worthwhile idea. it seems to me they are relying rather a lot on the 'Royal'tag without backing it up with much substance and I wonder what other forum members think? Yes, there are awards tha...

RPS or not ?
John - I take on board your very valid point about having to pass muster to gain those qualifications, however I can buy a diploma online for just about any qualification, thus I could pretend to have taught Prof. Stephen Hawking everything he knows because I have a piece of paper to prove it. It th...

RPS or not ?
I've thought about it but have never got around to it. Being near London I might get more from it than Ken does (did). If you have a look back through the PUF archives, some of our ?former members went for LRPS and produced some stunning images. ?Lilly (from Cornwall) produced some wonderful wo...

Sigma 150-500mm, Which Backpack?
I found the Kata T-214 Torso Pack takes both my newly purchased 150-500 and the DA300, comfortably, but not attached to the camera. I generally use a CCS warthog slr pouch for the camera, much quicker to get out but not with the 150-500 attached! The Kata is a sling type and no problem when full....

SRS Ad in latest AP!
I have also noted this for a couple of weeks or so. The first omission of Pentax being the 21st April issue. I thought at first it was just a change of their advertising space, just giving other brands an airing, but looking back at previous issues, they managed to include all brands in the ...

Gear insurance
I was thinking about my own policy which realises that a pro might be seen depositing gear in a car and going back into the shoot. The policy also includes professional indeminity and employers liability which many wont need

Flipside 300 Advice
I'm planning a trip to Paris. On the train from Edinburgh (had to do the Chunnel at least once) so no problem with baggage allowances, but in a quandary about a bag. I have a Vertex 300 (which is good and comfortable but big) and a Microtrekker 200 (which is about the size I need for this but to...

Flipside 300 Advice
Hi I've got the Flipside 300. I'm 5'11 and have had no problems with where the bag sits. The straps are adjustable to find the best place. I have used mine for extended periods and day hikes without any problems - it just feels like any other rucksack. My back did get rather sweaty wearing it ...

Flipside 300 Advice
Thanks Haworth. I went to Jacobs to see the 300. I liked it overall but realised that I couldn't carry it with a gripped camera without it digging into my back. I think that most of the time I would have my camera in my hand and spare lenses in the bag but was worried about room and the fact ...

Flipside 300 Advice
I have to admit to shying away from backpacks due to the back issue, I now use a Crumpler Cupcake which can hold my camera with up to the 55-300, Metz 48 and an additional lens such as the 35mm, 50mm to 100macro. I also have a which can hold my camera with a DA*50-135 fitted and a flash or spar...

What's New in Photography?
Everyones perspective is new and unique to them. Get 3 people to shoot the same subject and you will get 3 different photos or a group of togs all in the same place at the same time everyones outlook will be different. As for being unique don't they say there's nothing new under the sun. I don't ...

If I had £6000 I would buy this
But the Fuji X100 can offer mono only and also has some swanky sensor that does it better than other marques so I can't see how that's different to discussing a Leica camera and technology. Just out of interest and to get back on topic which Pentax model is proposed with this feature? Mike

If I had £6000 I would buy this
OK gang, back on topic please. We're not talking here about black and white options with colour sensors, we're talking about doing away with the Bayer filter altogether so the only information being recorded is luminance at each and every pixel. If you did the same thing with a colour filter in plac...

If I had £6000 I would buy this
Nikon have been flirting for years with the idea of an interchangeable sensor. I think the worry is that it may cost as much as an entire camera. I think the idea has merit. If you could carry one or two bodies with a 'normal' back, mono back, infra-red back, high ISO back, low ISO back, etc wh...
