Yes I agree john , but I had a very similar conversation with the owner of the shop G L Robertson's in Lancaster last year , this guy has sold Pentax kit for years, I have bought two Pentax cameras and half a dozen lenses from him in the years I lived in Lancaster . I went in his shop on a trip b...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
I was at Focus on Imaging at the NEC today. Nice to get out and geek for a day and some really good presentations, especially an hours talk from Jeff Ascough.. But I have to say it's so disappointing to see such a lack of Pentax gear :-( I knew that Pentax did not have a stand (as they didn...

I think Pentax will be back at the show next year as i think 2014 will be a very interesting year.

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
Hopefully the lack of spending on PR means they're spending all their cash on new lens/body development...here's hoping anyway. Having just bought a compact from another brand I'm certainly seeing how it can be done if cash is available, support & PR on this other brand are worlds apart from Pentax ...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
It's such a great camera that no one has heard of... Sigh... There are plenty of pro togs I know here that know of the K5 and how good it is. Sadly for them, it's not a system camera and has no support for service or repair that pro's need. Several of them use Pentax Ltd's on their Canon's so the...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
Pentax far outsells leica, so not really a comparison. But you're riught, the numbers don't matter so long as we are using what we want to and what we enjoy using. Life's too short to bother about persuading non-users. Don't be so hard on "Joe public" though - he may surprise you - he isn't b...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
I agree that Pentax not appearing at Focus is a big disappointment. Do they not understand the benefits of brand exposure? Surely it can't be that costly to Pentax to appear? John is right - Life is too short to persuade non-users, but I if all things were equal (in the over the counter camera sa...

Been to FOI today. it was very busy. Unfortunately I never once saw the 'Pentax' logo on any stall. Having said that I didn't notice 'Sony' either.

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
A bit off topic, but I was at a party last week and met a chap whose father had owned a great shop called Edinburgh Cameras, some people will remember it. I remember buying from them. They were put out of business by Jessops whose buying power allowed them to sell at a far lower price than his fa...

On my way home from FOi and have to say was a little disapointed. I did however go with my friend whise a canon shooter (1dmk3) and is looking to upgrade to a 5d mkiii. So we went to the canon section, which was huge by the way, and had a play with the 5d mkiii. I asked if there was something wrong ...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
This year I did not go to FOI, as I felt it would not really offer me any personal benefit. I think Pentax were right not to attend FOI this year, as the cost of a trade stand has to be paid for and how many people on this forum would buy from the Pentax trade stand at FOI? I might be wrong, but...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
I agree with the majority of the comments supporting Pentax, and have supported them myself both financially (just don't mention that bit to the Wife) and by promoting them to others (3 guys in my office own Pentax DSLR's as a direct result of my "promoting" ;) ) , but I am starting to feel let down...

Focus on Imaging - Poor show for Pentax
When I was selling the process I was taught was to sell the idea, then sell it again to make sure and then reassure the buyer that they have done the right thing. What some may be missing is the last phase of this - the affirmation that they are on the right track and haven't been duped into buying ...

How good is windows 7 please?
Windows 7 is a fine operating system, as mentioned, the 64bit version is better due to the higher ram available. I have windows 8 on my main machine and its not as nice as 7, but with a little piece of software called win 8 can be as good as win 7, best £2.04 I've ever spent on software!

How good is windows 7 please?
Win 8 is really Win7 with bells and whistles attached. Very soon, Microsoft will slowly wind down support for XP-based systems, so at the very least, you should be looking to upgrade to Vista. Like every reinvention of the Windows platform, it takes a bit of time to get used to, but I must admit tha...
