Maybe you're right about the SD cards. I'll have to see where I can shop locally that does a good deal. WEX is only 25 miles away so it looks like I may have to head there:lol: Or take the facility to transfer your stuff onto hard drive as well for back up and if you run out of space. btw, when...

Ah memories... ...did that road in '84 on the Beema. Mrs HG on the back, water in everything and a sign at the top of the pass saying 'Don't feed the sheep' We hadn't even considered it until then!:lol: Good waterproofs are an esential in Norway, if you have them it won't rain, if you haven...

Phew. We are now back from our trip. 5484 mile and 8 countries in 3 weeks. Unfortunately events conspired against us and we never made the Trogstillen. However we did make Nordkapp and stopped off at plenty of photogenic spots on the way. I shall upload some soon, once I have sorted through the...

Long range remote
I am looking for a long range remote for my K7 DSLR I have the Pentax remote but its range is only 2 metres from the back of the camera. I purchased a JJC RM-E4 remote but this doesn`t work with my K7 I require a remote with a range of more than 6 metres.

Lomography......Oh Dear
A darned fine little camera, the LC-A. I've got a couple from back when they weren't cool. Always wanted a motorwind. But I don't understand the cult thing at all. / ex Zenit shooter and yes, a lot of Orwo slide film was used...

Lomography......Oh Dear
The whole Lomo thing has been very commercialised. Some people get great results, but it's become totally ridiculous, especially since started up. They are selling Lubitel 166's for $349, anyone who pays that sort of money for a camera like that is a mug imo. I use a couple of old film cameras...

This isn't anything to do with Pentax, so please let's get back on topic.

This isn't anything to do with Pentax, so please let's get back on topic. I’m confused, I thought this was the general chat section?

Lomography......Oh Dear
For people who never used film, the whole 'Lomography' thing might be a good thing, then again they may start to think all film photography is part of it. I smirk whenever we get a new starter at work, the obligatory mug shot goes into the powerpoint presentation complete with 'Polaroid' frame ar...

1.4 x why are we waiting?
Static price for years means there isn't any demand and the price is actually falling due to inflation. If you compare that with lenses that are in demand such as anything with Carl Zeiss on it they have rocketed over the last few years particularly Contax stuff. Even East German M42 stuff has shot ...

1.4 x why are we waiting?
It would need an extra pin on TC and camera to signal that a TC is attached and possibly another pin to say if it was a 1.4x or 2x TC. ' There should be enough pins already to pass data. If it was really clever it would pass the lens and TC data back to the camera. May need a firmware update o...

1.4 x why are we waiting?
The "power-zoom-power-contacts" power (they deliver the required energy) for the SDM. Regulation of the AF is another story. Close-up rings without optical elements focus without problems. There is just a need of data communication. Probably, there will be a massive need of firmware-updates in the n...

Digital or Film? - your first Pentax.
Thanks to the many of you for revealing your origins with Pentax! This poll is quite revealing - 7 out of 10 Pentax owners started with Pentax film, even more if we include other K mount film cameras. Interesting to note that the vast majority of the magnificent 7 began with older manual foc...

Good spot for landscape photography
Hi, I live in Portsmouth, but I am not English and sometime I'd like to go out for landscape photography without getting to far. I absolutely need to go back to Cornwall, but Cornwall is already "far". What beautiful spots could I find near hampshire, dorset, wilts, berks, surrey and west susse...

I don't like holidays, and I'm a miserable tight fisted Scottish git, but I've had a shit couple of years, which I won't go in to, but I have decided to spent the kid's inheritance, and go to Japan for 3 weeks in September. I will be back-packing most of the time, so will be travelling light, pl...
