Pentax lenses on micro 4/3
It does look like a model which I am sure was the poster's intention and as Mike-P says it is a very popular technique at the moment. To be accurate the effect is achieved by tilting and not shifting. Shifting controls perspective and tilting controls dof. Anyway to get back on topic, or is this ...

Pentax lenses on micro 4/3
Yes the model look is intentional, but not helped by the mistiness. :oops: I have done other shots where the tilt has been used to boost the effective DOF of close up shots, but the effect is not obvious (I could have used a tripod and closed the aperture for f1.4) I've also got several where the ...

Pentax lenses on micro 4/3
I want a lens which makes a model (in this case my son's garden railway) look like a full-size one! Tilt the lens the other way to get a bigger depth of focus and it'll help make it look like the real thing. After all, the 'toy' effect is because we are used to small things having a small depth of ...

I put one of their screens on my K20D. Easy to fit and worked like a dream. The 'gloves' they supplied for the job were intriguing though - latex thimbles would be a better description!

I managed to find a Katzeye focusing screen on eBay for my K5 - really good quality. They are more expensive that the focusscreens one but they are really good. The KAtzeye site is here

I fitted a focusscreens.com split screen to a K200D a few years back. It worked very well. The only real downside is that you lose single point metering. It becomes erratic and inaccurate - often a couple of stops out. Andrew

One lens challenge?
Personally I think if you're going to set yourself a real challenge you should take out a prime and 'weld' it to one aperture. I admit I would find this extremely difficult as I love going on shoots with at least 6 lenses, primes and zooms, and having 2 bodies to wield them on. It makes for a nic...

One lens challenge?
FA 35mm - same FOV as 50mm on film. If I want to focus on landscape then it's the FA*24 f2

One lens challenge?
If I want to focus on landscape then it's the FA*24 f2 Stop it down to f/8 as all three copies I've had were noticebly soft at the edge but the contrast is very good. John

As expected of course Canon and Nikon made up the vast majority ... That has been my experience too, but mostly Canon. None of the non-Pentax DSLR's that I've seen the average tourist use appears to be a top end Canon 5D/1DS or Nikon D3/D4, more usually entry level stuff. I think they buy the neck s...

Last October at Spa, these two guys (who didn't know each other either) were sitting one row behind me. It was quite funny as a whole group of us jostled for position at the back of the stand for the best vantage point, then the French chap in the pink shirt noticed my K20D and gave the knowing nod ...

When I participate in Photocharters on various heritage railways I often see a couple of other Pentaxes amongst the Canons and (vast majority) Nikons - not to mention the odd Leica! Earlier this year we had two K5's and a K100D and a 6x7 film shooter. I also bumped into a chap with an ME a few years...

Maybe all of us on the forum could visit the same beauty spot on the same day - we'd then spot lot's of other Pentax users and imagine the look on Canon / Nikon owner's faces when they see they are out numbered! :) Back in the 70s & 80s it was like that. John K

I'm quite sure Gareth hasn't got a Sigma 50mm f1.4 prime.... he did have a 50mm FA 1.4? In fact I've never heard of anyone owning a Sigma 50mm f1.4 :shock: I could understand someone using just a 35mm lens on a wedding but you couldn't do group shots with a 50mm unless your in the middle of a...

How deep are you prepared to go?
I'm quite fond of scrambling over rocks in the middle of fast flowing rivers and streams, not very sensible, but it's the only way to get some different angles and shots that most other people don't bother with! Shaun's already mentioned the Lakes; I usually come back from there with wet feet! ...
