Northern Lights visible as far south as Essex Tonight!!!
Thanks for comments everyone. Most appreciated. I haven't shared them with the media Mark. So many photos about today, thought they'd just get lost in the crowd. Yes, David. Just back in from the camera club. Settled down to watch a bit TV. Logged on to the forum and saw Gwyn's post, checked ...

An Apology
Irrespective of what make of camera they only focus very roughly and inconsistently at the low light levels. The author of the lens test program MTF_mapper recommends EV7 as the lowest LV for lens test purposes because of focus problems and he uses a Nikon. --

An Apology
Thank you to Mike and Darren for the supportive responses. I realise I made a mistake by naming a person in my post yesterday, but I didn't expect World War Three to start as a result! Irrespective of what make of camera they only focus very roughly and inconsistently at the low light levels. Th...

An Apology
For what it's worth, I have purchased a Nikon FF camera this last week with a couple of fast primes, and after comparing the AF with my K3, there's no contest, none what so ever. Like it's been said before, the nikon is quick to activate its lamp to try to help itself focus, I don't think I have se...

Just about to leave and found the Ricoh display, first time I've seen such a huge lineup of Pentax gear in one place and ironically they told me I now had a local Pentax dealer too.... Oh well when they make a full frame to lure me back I now know....

I'm just back as well. Loved the feel and balance of the gripped K3, just couldn't afford it right now even with the show discount! I felt it was just a shame that, compared to Canon, Nikon and even Samsung, Panasonic and Fuji, Pentax's stall was so small - just an add-on to LCE I think. Staff...

Cheers guys, the TC is a must now after using it. In the available light it did hunt a little but that was probably a lot to do with people dashing in-between the lens and my chosen, distant, subject. For pretty much grab shots I was very impressed; and come bonus time, mid April, I will be grabbing...

Christina Broom - 28 December 1862 - 5 June 1939
Some of the photo's she took were sad. Some of those men didn't come back, and she captured those feelings in one shot ;)

k-3 for £599?
Do we need the same discussion again? https://www.pentaxuser.com/forum/topic/k3-sub--1000-47541#comm510052 We do, Hence why I stated, back to the same old topic, in fairness this is a post about the K3 new low price. But sorry if it offended you ?

k-3 for £599?
.... I wouldn't touch them with your barge pole let alone mine :D A barge pole is much too short. Even two lashed together would be inadequate. The only reason such operations keep going is because they can persuade some buyers that the risks are worth taking for the (alleged) saving. If the came...

k-3 for £599?
K3 is still GBP688 here, inc tax @ 10% (refundable for visitors). The K3 SE with grip, is back in stock at GBP847 inc tax. Both above prices are from main importer-direct sales. Retailers prices are as above but there's not too many around Perth that stock Pentax kit. They will order it ...

Photoguard - are they good?
I do, but someone told me that if anything does go wrong they go back on their word and refuse to help. This is a bit worrying. :|

I do, but someone told me that if anything does go wrong they go back on their word and refuse to help. This is a bit worrying. :| That's a fairly backwards approach, taking out 2 insurance policies on one item just in case one doesn't pay out? Would you do the same with your car? I agree wi...

Photoguard - are they good?
I found Photoguard to be very helpful, when I had a claim a couple of years back. I would recommend them. Though do agree with the household policy route. Although excess limits on household policies. Can make making a claim prohibitive.

Things will have changed but .... Negotiate the taxi before you get in :D Eat before you start drinking. The clubs are searching you for guns, not knives. Pike is a bony fish. If you drink, make sure you get a wake up call for your flight back. Always buy a ticket for the underground. I f...
