Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Didikid-tv wrote Well, speaking personally, they could forget the aperture priority bit. I would be very interested in a camera with manual focus (with suitable focus screen) and manual exposure. (And correct metering using my manual lenses). Perhaps you need to buy an LX, and a scanner if you nee...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
[quote:3496ace15f="digikid-tv"] The K-5 meters and exposes correctly with manual lenses. Maybe I should weaken and buy one. I tried a Chinese screen in the K10D which was a partial success, but not quite right for focus and definitely not right for exposure. I still prefer to shoot in all manual ...

Maybe I should weaken and buy one. I tried a Chinese screen in the K10D which was a partial success, but not quite right for focus and definitely not right for exposure. I still prefer to shoot in all manual mode for no other reason than I get better results. Not technically but I get more photos th...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
Fuji have got fairly close with their 'X' series... Technology continues to get smaller... And Pentax have a fairly large back-catalogue of K & M series bodies to experiment with... I live in hope :-)

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
I find this a little odd, one mention that Olympus got it right and Pentax got it wrong and here we are debating Pentax products :D Olympus right now are a little like the supposed one colour the model T Ford was in as much as you can have an interchangeable lens camera as long as you have a 4/3 ...

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong

Olympus got it right, Pentax got it wrong
There must be a reason, why every one in this forum uses a Pentax Camera. Could it be: a.) because you always had a Pentax camera and thought they are pretty good. b.) You bought the latest one because you already had a bunch of good lenses and you can still use them. c.) you just started and fo...

Olympic Restrictions
How about a Tamron 500mm mirror. That and a camera are less than 300mm long. Then use a walking stick with a flip top & 1/4whit mount. AP were saying last week that the police have warned the security guards that it is not illegal to use cameras in public. Glad I'm not going anywhere near th...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
I usually enter both the weekly and fortnightly competitions. Guilty of indolence and lack of motivation this time, but due to personal circumstances, not the competition theme. On the whole, as a relative newcomer to dslr photography, I prefer being set a challenge to picking something from t...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
Another suggestion is to operate the rule as it is currently actually written in that photos taken in the previous fortnight are also eligible. However you interperate the wording, the spirit of the rule is that the entry should be taken during the time the competition runs. I believe it was made to...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
I have to agree with you John and unfortunately disagree with dougf8. The fact that entries have to be hot linked to the forum puts me off. I also think that having to use an image taken after the comp is set is a limiting factor. You may recall a few weeks ago I set a Weekly Competition which I ...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
Hosting using photobox/flikr can't get much easier. If one manages to register as a member here and upload an image to a weekly, one has all the necessary computer skills to use photbucket/flikr and enter the fortnightly. There might be a one off learning overhead (hmmm 10 minutes maybe). The ext...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
If JR says there is no reason the gallery can not be used, why aren't we using the gallery??????? :shock::shock:. I would go for moving it to the gallery. Doing so would also address most, if not all, of the Exif issue Maybe a reduction of the judging rejection verbiage by just placing the winner...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
Barrie, apologies for not entering. I haven't entered many comps on here but recently decided to make more of an effort. I knew the shot I wanted. It was a tree in a poppy field or a rapeseed field. Took scenic routes to and from Seahouses on Sunday, and then to and from Corbridge on Monday. Unfo...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
JAK, I can see where you are coming from in allowing multiple images from one entrant. In some of our club competitions the same thing is allowed. I would have two concerns. 1. if the aim of this exercise is achieved i.e. the same number of entries as the weekly. You could be asking the judge to...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
I don't find it strange that people are worried about the judging aspect. I was when I first started, but you just have to give it your best shot. If I were one of those that are terrified of the experience, I'd look back at the judging of each competition and see if the judge got any negative co...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
I think your first point is valid and could be accommodated, then what happens if all three dip out. Would it give the impression of " oh i don't need to bother 2nd place will do it" If someone is indisposed it's a bit more serious than dipping out! Each case on its merits though. Second point, I...

Fortnightly Competition - Do we want it?
OK. Back on track. Following the discussion around start dates and entry eligibility I've had go at Rule 1. again. I'm proposing: 1. Each monthly competition will start from the time and date that the theme is set by the previous winner. (In ideal circumstances the first day of the calendar m...
