I think you have well and truly trumped me there Carl. You are quite right in what you say, if it wasn't for these sellers I would not have owned a lot of gear.

And the K100D Super is a cracking little camera - miss mine since I sold it - did'nt sell it on ebay by the way :) . Well done.

Well done! Still got my K100D Super which keeps on keeping on (or rather my son has it....). Probably the best JPEGs that anyone managed to get out of that Sony 6MP sensor.

What is it that I am looking for?
A few years back I was shown a credit card size and shape piece of aluminium that had engraved upon it the location of the sunrise and sunset for each month of the year. At the time I thought that it will be a useful item to have in my camera bag, especially for deciding on a location for a dawn ...

At Long Last!!!
I went to Fairford Air Show yesterday, tens of thousands of people there. Now admittedly I ended up spending most of the day at our selected spot near the front of the crowdline but i did end up walking about 4-5 miles in total as well before we got back to the car at end of day and thousands of DSL...

Have been quite a few times - but never really had a chance to do too much photography. Sentosa Island is worth a visit - use the cable car to get across there for some great views. The windows open so you can get good quality images. The Mandarin Hotel (I think) on Orchard Road has a revolv...

Durian Fruit - they taste great and you can sit and eat them in the local markets. However, they STINK and hotels ban them. Quite often you will see a sign by the lifts showing a fruit with a cross through it. You are probably OK going in August - September is the start of the rainy season a...

p7 arrived, seems all right. I am no expert, but the "spill" is noticeable (if I got what the spill actually is). I hope it is worth the 10 pounds extra :) Did you buy this direct from Amazon in which case it will be genuine. There are a lot of fakes about, inc. on Amazon and ebay. I've just be...

my p7 turned out to be a very well done counterfeit (words from lenser guy), however P7 has 3 power states exactly like HP7. If I get my money back I will have a thought on the HP7...have you ever tried the real p7 though?

Never tried the P7 but the HP7 was based on it and advertised as an improvement. I looked at one in it's package in Maplins yesterday, but it didn't look as nice as the HP7 It's actually what a torch should have been years ago. I never could understand why they couldn't make torches that worke...

Lenser notified ebay which probably already removed the seller. It was not genuine, Lenser guys checked it for me (that's why I got the money back). However I have to say that the construction quality is excellent, but I am not sure about the quality of the light itself (quite important for photog...

Top 10 Most Expensive Photographs In The World
I'm not surprised that 'Rhein II' - the photo in the second link - is so valuable TBH. When I visited Tate Modern for the first time it was the only thing in the place that pulled me back for a second and third look (other than the cafe on the top floor of course). A fascinating image, particularly ...

pentax k5
I did the K10D to K30 upgrade. When i did the first indoor test shots it was as someone else said "blown away". Proper night and day difference. I just couldn't believe how good the images were even at 6400 and 12800iso. Basically matching what the K10D could do at 1600iso. And the responsiveness...

Smeggy - possible reason(s) for the downturn could be: (1) "Techno-babble" - if you look at Flickr membership 2-3 years ago, it was a "serious" site for "pro/semi-pro/keen amateur" photographers. Nowadays, a search of the "popular cameras" shows that there are less and less Pentax/Canikon cameras...

Sadly not, John. I had a K-r with an 18-250mm for around a year which was great, but still too heavy (I have a particular problem with my neck and back) and a bit too conspicuous in some of the poorest areas. Tried the K-30 with the 40mm Ltd, but found the fixed 40mm length a bit limiting. I have...

Since buying my MX-1 I've hardly used my K-5, the MX-1 covers all of my 'casual' shooting (I usually have the DA 17-70 on the K-5 and the MX-1 basically covers this range). I haven't been on any 'photo trips' since though and obviously would use the K-5 for those. In fact in the last two months I've...

Just for general purpose viewing really ... boats, aircraft that sort of thing. You get what you pay for! I have had a set of Pentax for around 25-30 years! and they just get put in the bag and are nice and light. Be wary of any "cheap" ones - you will find they have a centre focus only whe...

I was going to recommend Bushnells. I've had a pair of their Sportview 8x40s for about 30 years and a brilliant set they are -- light but well made. Took them out for the first time in years just to confirm the optical quality and noticed a couple of cracks in the diopter-adjustment dial. I've manag...

I bought a pair of Olympus 9x21 PCIII from Jessops some 8-10yrs ago, and they very light and pretty good for what they are - but that does not include airshows or anything with any sort of moving objects because the field of view is only 7 degrees and the focusing needs to be quite precise. If I...
