If I had £6000 I would buy this
Going back to the original point (sorry) I wouldn't bother buying this camera. I would (as I said earlier) buy an SLR with an interchangeable back so I could have a mono sensor, but only if it was as good as mono film. Until then I reckon it costs me about £5.00 a roll to buy , develop and sc...

Good point Matt, although with some sensors the moire that might result could well be a severe limitation. Would we then not be back to destroying some resolution to remove moire with software?

Grad ND advise
Alan, I don't think I've quite mastered locking the exposure, I frequently get a second beep when I shift the focus position - must try harder. For the record the Sun was shining strongly on the left of picture, pic probably 60 degrees to the sun I metered the sky because this was through the ...

I don't think I've quite mastered locking the exposure You don't need the camera to your eye to do it, just point it in the direction of the ground and half press the shutter followed by the exposure lock, which you should have no difficulty finding as you can clearly see the back of the camera, you...

Grad ND advise
David - Thanks, I'll have to try again another day - weather here today is missly rain and total grey overcast so today is clearly out. Alan - So do I meter without the grad in place? I did 1/2 press followed by AE-L and got a beep. Repositioned camera, then got another beep when I pressed the sh...

Pentax User plus membership
I too liked the magazine. I liked writing for it as well. I have a huge pile of PU magazines that date back a long, long way, not a complete set but pretty good. You can't replicate that with an on-line version. Someone could wander in to the house, pick up a few of them and start finding interes...

Pentax User plus membership
Just renewed mine. As I see it, it's a way of supporting the site and, although I don't contribute very much, I sign in every day and I have learned a lot just by lurking. I've also got my subscription back by postage saved on purchases from SRS. Regards, Dave.

I love the reassuring feeling that you get with film from opening the back up every few shots and seeing the film travel over the sprockets completely undamaged :shock: Nothing like knowing that all you perforations are perfect! :mrgreen: :wink:

LOL Algi - I admit to sometimes getting the urge to pop the back open to check there's a film loaded! The only thing worse than inadvertently exposing a roll of film to the light, is getting to shot 36 and deciding to wind the film back and realising from the slackness of the film winder that there'...

My new toy arrived this morning, cant say what cos' it's not a Pentax, but after playing with it for an hour or so I loaded one of the out of date films that accompanied it and snapped my very first frame of the back garden, I then put it to one side on the kitchen worktop with the intention of gett...

always said we'd go back but never have (yet) Was looking verrrry, veeeeery sad this time last year. Could do with a lick of paint, but I suppose now that that programme is so old now the visitor numbers must ahve dropped off. Bernard

Flickr Changes
This week Flickr have changed the sizes that they display pictures. Previously, if in your settings you disabled access to the original, the biggest size available to view by others was 1024 pixels wide. This has now changed and much bigger sizes than 1024 can be viewed. This may increase imag...

How to get more views on flickr.com?
^^ I think that's about right. P1C* groups, yes it gets views up but you do have to ask yourself if it really means much when someone cuts and pastes a (usually bad) graphic. better than nothing maybe. What I do like though is genuine encouraging feedback. It's maybe a bit pathetic on my part but I ...

How to get more views on flickr.com?
There is certainly something to be said for your Title when posting on Flickr,My most viewed image (by far) 7000+ is titled Marilyn Monroe 36 24 36. I love Flickr but it can be a bit "I scratch your back you scratch mine" but if you make some good contacts/friends then it can be nice to share your ...

Just had anoth phone call...
We don't get any of theses calls, or rather if we do they are not getting as far as the phones. I got so fed up with unwanted sales and scam calls that I bought a which I have installed in front of the base unit for our set of 4 DECT phones. This can be set up in varying levels of defence fr...

Have a whistle handy. A few years back we had a woman come to work in our office, she had been a telephone exchange operator (this was in the days before direct dialling), only we old farts can remember this. :wink: We were talking about abusive telephone calls, she told us the best way to de...
