What would/should you do?
I'm offended by someone calling India a 'bass ackwards country' Which is why we keep away from politics and religion on this site. There's enough to argue abaout when we stick to photography, so back to photography please guys before we stray too far. Thank you. I agree, which is why I was off...

Off to Odessa, Ukraine
I visited Odessa afew years ago in the course of a cruise from Kiev to the Black Sea. It is a fascinating city which I am sure you will enjoy exploring. I suppose the best known sight is the Richelieu/Potemkin/Odessa steps made famous by Sergei Eisenstein's film "The Battleship Potemkin" - a fl...

Scratches on front glass - an issue?
Hi I've found a lens that i'm really interested in. Gets great reviews and is difficult to find. The seller describes it as beeing in good shape cosmetically and optically no issues. Only thing that is holding me back is a small scratch on the front glass :( Should this worry me? Is it likely t...

Scratches on front glass - an issue?
It might seem odd but a single large scratch is rarely an issue. Multiple small scratches are far worse. Is this from a store or a private seller. Most shops will allow you to check it and send it back if you don't like it.

Selling images
Well done, always nice to find others appreciate your photos too. The first advice would be don't give them your photos for nothing, they're a commercial organisation who will be making profit from them so why shouldn't you!! I currently have 4 photos on greetings cards, the terms differ fr...

Sorry you had a bad experience today. I wasn't in today so maybe my staff were just missing me... I am very lucky in that I have a very low staff turnover. Most of my staff have been with me for 7+ years, the newest joined about 11 months ago. I'll mention this to them when I'm back on Tuesday...

I phoned to pay for a Pentax mount Sigma 50-500mm OS the other day and the chap that answered the phone was excellent. Mind you I'm not 100% happy with it, the AF doesn't seem quite right to me so unfortunately I may be back in contact quite soon.

SRS Microsystems
I've bought three K-5s from SRS. The first one had a faulty AF system. Chris exchanged it by sending out a replacement via courier who also picked up the faulty K-5 at the same time. The exchange took 30 seconds at my front door and thus I wasn't without a cam. A few days later I bought a 2nd K-5...

Pentax K-30 Hands-On Field Test
Thanks Shaun. A good fair review, with an endearingly cheesy attempt at injecting humour! I played with a K30 in Jessops today. They got the ergonomics spot on IMHO; even better than my K7. I played with the focus peaking too, seems to work quite well - and liveview feels more usable generally.

They say ......
.. the best lens is what you happen to have on at the time! Well that makes sack all difference when you forget to reset your white balance, reduce the ISO back down to a sensible level (these were all adjusted whilst mucking about/learning the camera) the previous night. Well today whilst at ...

Lens Dew Protection
You can make a basic but reasonably effective dew shield with a piece of black card and some selotape. Even better is the black foam sheets you bet in craft shops. It's a high density soft foam about 2mm thick. It comes in the same sizes as card/paper. A4, A3 etc Another option is a small 12v trav...

Tracking Cookies on Pentax User - Argh!!!
My friend has a footy website which he used Google Ads to generate revenue to pay for the site. As an admin, I noticed increasingly that the ads on the site were "learning" what to advertise, based on "trigger" words (I think Google AdSense was also being used). We all decided to have a bit of fun w...

Macro Kit
Lighting not a problem, I plan on doing lots of studio work at first, so I will utilise my Bowens kit (2xGemini 500 heads and so much paraphenalia it's an embarrassment) Are there any auto extension tubes on the market for Pentax? Auto to a point, you still have to manual focus, I have a set that ...

Slightly off-topic, but...
Friend of mine did this. Worked for a courier company. Ticket paid for by the courier company and 'all' he had to do was convey whatever from a-to-b. He had many a trip to far flung places and just needed to pay any additional accommodation costs over and above those met by his company. ...
