Brand Switching
Going back to my original question. It does not look like many people return to Pentax once they have tried another brand I've been here since 2009 and I've lost count of the people I've seen join who said that they've come to Pentax after using other brands. Do they return to their Original brand? ...

Brand Switching
You are right about people coming over to Pentax from other brands. What I'm not seeing is people going from Pentax to a.n.other and then coming back to Pentax.

Brand Switching
You are right about people coming over to Pentax from other brands. What I'm not seeing is people going from Pentax to a.n.other and then coming back to Pentax. Possibly because 90% leave due to going full frame and Pentax have nothing to come back to in that respect.

I would leave Pentax or supplement Pentax for some kind of specialism. For example for serious sports. Maybe that Canon macro lens. Or the outstanding Nikon FX 14-24 for landscape. But there would have to be some commercial purpose for me to do that and that is unlikely. For all round shootin...

Chris, as long as you don't want the K3 to perform extreme feats (which I do, unfortunately) then it's a fantastic camera. I'm sure you'll be happy with it, in good light the amount of detail you can get is amazing for an APS-C sensor. It just doesn't do what I want it to. In retrospect, I should ha...

...back to packing up the bits for part-ex then :) Stop the chatter and just get on with it ... I'm relying on your review to give me a real reason to buy a K-3. Otherwise it's either a 5D MKIII or a 1D MKIV and you wouldn't want to be responsible for that I'm sure. :wink: Chris, as long as y...

camera fair at Hamworthy club, Wimbourne. bad sleeping problem.
Obviously not photographic, but something that many of us photographers might experience from time to time. When it's time to get up, no doubt you'll be in a deep, deep sleep. My solution when this happens is I get up, make a coffee (yes, with caffeine!)and sit for a while at the PC on the Intern...

camera fair at Hamworthy club, Wimbourne. bad sleeping problem.
For me, reading a photography magazine always works, I try to stay awake to read something interesting but never get past the first page :D I hope you enjoy the camera fair anyway, I'm sure you'll come back tired out and have a good night's sleep :)

Excessive perfection?
Sometimes a degree of messiness is inherent in a scene, and can be part of its attraction. Sometimes it is a distraction in an otherwise 'perfect' shot and yet could not be avoided at the time of capture. I am a failed purist when it comes to such imperfections. Mostly, I leave them alone. Partl...

Ebay lens
Hey, as was said earlier, simply open a case about "not as described" and wait for the seller to reply. If no reply within 7 days, eBay will look into it and will issue you a refund, and ask to post it back to the seller. But that is rather drastic as mostly people do reply when something is wrong...

Ebay lens
I recently bought a MKII Canon 70-200mmL f2.8 IS on Ebay for a decent price and when it arrived it was the MKI version. I opened a dispute with Ebay straight away and asked for a ridiculous 50% of my money back as a partial refund (as I didn't want the lens) and the seller agreed :shock:

Ebay lens
Seller has responded saying to return the lens for a refund which is great. However the lens is in such good nick apart from the slow aperture I have got a quote from Alan Marlow for about £40.00 to repair the lens so hoping that the seller will be happy to refund the cost and I will send it off to...

Takes good pictures or Good Photographer?
I think Andrew has summarised it pretty well but most of us can improve if we put a little more thought into our photos. I'm very good at taking pretty average photos, but I do sometimes produce better photos just by using these two techniques... 1. Composition is one of the easiest things to get...

Takes good pictures or Good Photographer?
I am now a retired person and am still not a "GOOD" photographer. I sometimes take a decent photo or two. Even back in my school days I was jealous of the other kids who could draw and paint good pictures. Everything I know about photography I've had to be taught and learn. Some people just have "TH...

Takes good pictures or Good Photographer?
I think it's all about seeing the photograph, having in your minds eye how you would like it to turn out. I think that is innate, it may be possible to teach it, but very difficult. If you have that innate ability I think you have a head start, certainly on me. This is correct, if you don't kno...
