OK, when I post something on a thread and then press the add comment button I am sent to the top of the page on that thread so I then have to scroll right down the page to see what I typed. Pretty sure it never did that before, didn't it just leave you at your post? Infact it does the same whe...

If you shoot in RAW you should be able to pull back some detail in Photoshop. As David said. (Does the K5 have USER settings?) The K5 has USER settings (I think?.) [The K5iis has.] So once you get it set for what you want then save it in USER then you can go to that setting every time. CHEERS Vic.

Cheap effective reflectors
Lastolite and others make a range of reflectors. Even a small one can be useful to throw a bit of light into the subject. We carry small reflectors in our kit. It's all part of watching and manipulating the light on a subject. A reflector can also be used to shield, say a waving plant in the wind...

Cheers John. I will have a look at eBay and see what I can come up with Lastolite and others make a range of reflectors. Even a small one can be useful to throw a bit of light into the subject.

Cheap effective reflectors
For silver, radiator foil works well. It has foil one side and a white plastic foam on the other side. B&Q . You can also use the silvered car windscreen blinds. The type that stop the car getting too hot in the summer. You can also keep you car cool in summer with it! White card or paper, gold...

Why Re US prices always so much cheaper?
As well as our high VAT rate plus i assume import duties from Japan apply. You have to consider the fluctuating commercial exchange rate against first the yen and then the Euro to the pound sterling given Ricoh's distribution for Europe is based in France now i think. The biggest factor I'm sure ...

Direct comparison between Pentax K3 and other brands
Hoping this is the correct thread to post this one under; it seemed the most appropriate. This one is still a work in progress; still pictures have not been posted yet, further links to still photographs, and even types of test results on video links. Should have the full results within about six we...

Direct comparison between Pentax K3 and other brands
Pentax in actions photographs: Pentax wins in both focus ability and frame rate against: Nixon D3x, Nikon D810, and Canon 5d mIII. . Focus ability surprises me, especially if object was relatively small.

Pentax mirrorless SLR
I do always find it completely ludicrous when I hear camera phones and other devices with no moving parts emitting these electronic synthesized noises that mimic a mechanical film camera ... Even down to the film winding and shutter cocking noises! It seems bizarre that human operators in 2014 are ...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
I always try to ground these conversations by reminding all that a mirrorless version of a DSLR is potentially exactly the same in a lot of ways, just minus the mirror box and requiring a different focus method (on sensor autofocus points) and some way of visualising the info given there is no optic...

What are the lottery odds out there in NZ Richard? :D I know right, it's all I want I want I want. I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want... :oops: I want to stay with Pentax. I want to stay with the bodies, but I want them to move with the times, producing devices that compet...

You want, you want, you want ... Yet you don't have it .... Is that just because all this new technology you hunger after is still really quite unaffordable ... Or are you only telling us the positives? Is there a downside to the system you desire? For example, apart from the body, what would the l...

Pentax mirrorless SLR
Personally, I have been tempted several times by mirrorless systems, and, if money were no object, I'm sure that I would probably have an Olympus u4/3 system, a Fuji x system and /or a full frame Sony system based on an A7 variant too! The Olympus gives a definite advantage in weight, I am impress...

For trains in the dark, rather than a new camera what's needed are alternative techniques to achieve focus. I've never yet found a situation where focus is not possible, sometimes by AF, sometimes by MF, but with any camera it can sometimes need working around so it locks on. The K-3 is amazing ...

Change it to Pentax Mirrorless Nonsense :mrgreen: It doesn't exist.... Never will do and certainly isn't serious. Pentax already have good cameras and lenses. Some are waterproof. You can't have a waterproof camera that uses adapters which don't even stop the lenses from wobbling. Lenses d...

Change it to Pentax Mirrorless Nonsense :mrgreen: It doesn't exist.... Never will do and certainly isn't serious. -- I personally suspect that a mirrorless SLR probably is in in the offing, but I'm equally confident Pentax will continue to manufacture SLRs proper alongside any such system. ...

Worth noting the A7 was first of its kind. The A7ii has just been announced and has addressed the larger deeper grip and metal mount, among other things, as well as adding inbuilt FF sensor stabilisation. ILC is a better term, meaning interchangeable lens camera. CSC seems to have defined th...
