Rare Sighting......
I was on a job a few Sunday's back, shooting a Mad Hatters Tea Party!?, when a fella walked in with a K110 over his shoulder. We had a few mins chatting then he said his now ex wife had got the good camera, a canikon. Thats the last thing I heard him say :wink:

Rare Sighting......
One final one, was on a coach trip last year that started in Barcelona.One other member of the party had a K5 also, but he did not bring it with him:?: While we were in Carcasonne I lost my lens cap. The next day the tour guide held it up and asked whose it was. I claimed it back and she pointed ou...

Pentax - ILC's; Ricoh - compacts
Haven't managed to track down the original article, but it's reported on the other Forum that Pentax Ricoh have announced they are re-positioning the brands so that 'Pentax' will only appear on ILC's and 'Ricoh' on compacts. The quote, (from the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, courtesy of Google trans...

I'm not saying you can't do a wedding with a K-5, of course you can .. and very well but you need a professional company behind you that is ready to loan you a camera at the drop of a hat should yours go wrong the day before (as an example). Same goes with any professional shoot, not just wedding...

why three batteries for each? one genuine Pentax for each camera plus a joe blogs back up should easily get you 1000+ shots, and if you need to take that many you don't know what your doing:lol:

Getting back to the point, very often there is an expectation that a wedding photographer needs lots of kit. This does not have to be so. What we need is backup and second backup, just in case. What Ken does is eminently sensible and will suit his style. I no doubt have a different style. That's ...

The whole point is, if you have a camera that fails it won't fail on the morning of the wedding so you can get a replacement in one or two hours. It will fail on the wedding and there will be no excuses for not having a backup. You could shoot wedding photos on an *istDS with kit lens if you had ...

I did only once wedding photos, it was for a good friend of mine, this is going back almost 45 years, about 6 rolls of 36. I did it with a Spotmatic SP and a 50mm lens, and he appreciated it very much as all the rolls turned out good, exterior with the SP meter and flash for interior. No charges,...

Photograph of a Spitfire
Pop down to Sunderland at the weekend :D John Thanks for the link John. I have a lot of trouble getting objects that are on the ground and standing still in focus and properly exposed etc., so think it will be a while before I attempt to photograph flying aircraft. :shock: :lol:

We always seem to pay more!
I needed a lens cap for a recently acquired X90, UK dealer £9.99 US dealer £7.99 including postage, guess who got my bussines. If you know someone who goes to the US on there hols it is a great time to ask them to fetch you a little something back.:D

The lenses have been reduced after a brief price hike. Some prices are back down to pre-hike prices, some are above. Hardly a reduction, just a marketing ploy (by Pentax). If anyone bought the lens at the increased prices then they were ripped off.

How is that compensated for with a 55mm lens? 55 x 1.5 = 82.5 or approx 85mm. To get the same view you have to back off to the same distance as an 85mm lens on full frame. Perspective is only controlled by the viewpoint, that is, how far away you are, so the effect is the same. Hence, the 55mm is...

photography is not a crime
Maybe he had one of those laser "tape-measures" that uses a beam of light instead of a conventional tape measure?.. If that was the case, I would understand Plod's reaction. Completely. Anyone actually found waving one of those around at an airshow deserves an extremely bumpy ride to the station in...
