Pentax Wedding Photography
I've only shot two weddings (so far) and have been limited in my choice. I have a 30mm f1.4, 17-50 f2.8, 100mm macro f2.8 and 70-200 f2.8 and K-7 (soon upgrading to 2nd hand K-5) I borrowed a 2nd body and would bring all lenses with me but use certains ones at certain times- the 100mm is very ...

K-M for sale on Ebay
To be honest I do not normally enter this type of debate but I can agree with the points put forward. If I am not mistaken the KM has no focus confirmation in the view finder which for me would be a deal breaker at any price - if I am correct, however, I have a K10 and a K5 and have to admit tha...

K-M for sale on Ebay
Great advice Stuey, handling a camera is the only way to know whether or not it would suit. I can confirm though that the K-m DOES have focus confirmation in the viewfinder! At least, mine does! One feature it doesn't have which I find a little annoying is that you can't set the 'one press open, ...

K-M for sale on Ebay
Think he means it doesn't have the AF point red dot... Not an issue for centre point focus and recompose shooters (like me!)

Landscape photography book recommendations
Btw, David, some great photos on your website. I like the Wastwater ones - I also like that they were shot with an Pentax-M 28mm. I re-discovered my Pentax-A 28mm a while back and really like it :-)

One lens out and about
I did exactly that this morning. Went off on my bike with just my K5 and an 85mm prime. Certainly makes my back a lot lighter :D Cheers

One lens out and about
Do it regular with the FA35 and usually poses no problem... Done it a couple of times with the 100mm macro which is more dificult - Usually come back with less shots than I would with the FA35 but those I come back with tend to be keepers...

How do I change the size of my photo's please?
The size depends on what you want to use them for. Those sizes are small but OK for web viewing. Do not permanently resize your photos to that size without keeping the originals! There are simple photoresizers out there, but they produce soft images (they do not resharpen after resizing). Remembe...

new X5 bridge camera discontionued already
I went into a Jessops last weekend and also meet a pentax shirted employee with a K30 round the neck. I played around with the K30 and was looking at live view to see the focus peaking, which wasn't switched on. When I asked about the feature, the pentax rep had no idea what it was or where to sw...

new X5 bridge camera discontionued already
In my time in photographic retailing in the late Seventies we took trade exams which required a photoshoot from sealed rolls of films and a two part written examination on a) product (and there were a lot of makes and models back then) b) photographic theory to show understanding of depth of field, ...

Ah, but some of us don't live like that. We live and breath what we do and there's for me no real difference bwteeen in and out of hours. Except that these days I please myself what jobs I take on. Of course, it's also my downfall, because I never switch off and am available, theoretically at lea...

GOING TO TEST K5IIS
Well here is my view and only my view on this so please don’t shoot me down, as it is only what I have found out with using the K5IIs. In the new Pentax K-5 IIs have made some very good upgrades :D The only difference between K-5 IIs and the K-5 doesn't have an anti-aliasing filter, but the im...

A revolution in nigh street photography
light actually white or does it have a strong blue bias? Contractors are in the middle of installing several tens of thousands of new LED street lighting columns in Oldham and Rochdale. They replaced the columns where I live some months back. To the naked eye, they definitely do not look blue nor ...

A revolution in nigh street photography
Do these lights have a specified colour temperature figure? LED does, but it depends a bit on the temperature of the surrounding environment as well. For the most part they are a bit on the cold side. Sodium Vapor Lamps are a lot more effective as street-lights however. You can read about them...

A revolution in nigh street photography
We are getting way off topic (WOT) here so please get back to the point (BTTP) so that we can facilitate devivery of photographic solutions for Pentax photographers. Seriously, Oldham and Roachdale's lighting plans are a bit far astray from our remit. Referring to lighting though, it's worth n...
