I recently had a lens hood for my MX-1 delivered from Hong Kong (couldn't find a a supplier here in the UK.) By chance I checked the tracking info and discovered RM had attempted delivery a week previously. Apparently after 18 days all they do is send it back from whence it came! No second notif...

I still think the problem is cost cutting: most employers have little to no job security, they are judges by how effective they are, not how happy the customer is. And if you are paid per delivered parcel, rather than per hour, where is the incentive to wait a bit longer or look around the back? It’...

I send things all over the country and I always use Royal Mail Special Delivery. It's insured, it's tracked and if they fail to deliver it by 1pm next day you get your money back - assuming the recipient is there to receive it - which they always are because I ask when they want to receive it before...

Suilven and Inverpolly photography
Hello, I plan a week trip to northwest Scotland in April/May, hopefully also taking some photos there. I plan to do a trip to Suilven and Glencanisp forest, then continue to Fionn Loch and Falls of Kirkaig, from there to Inverpolly forest and Stac Pollaidh and finally climb Cul Mor and descent to Dr...

Suilven and Inverpolly photography
There is a fine beach at Achiltibue and grand views. The Summer Isles Hotel was always visited when I trundled around there years ago.8)8) If you´re over that way the Am Fuaran bar is a great place to visit. Lovely beach campsite at Achanaird with wonderful views of the hills in the distance. The ...

Suilven and Inverpolly photography
Hope you have a wonderfully successful trip! A while back, I made a visit to the Assynt area and brought back a haul of distinctively unusual landscapes and scenic photos, sampled here, but without Pentax kit. Midges are a seasonal problem and you may be fortunate in your choice of an early-year v...

Walking around heathland with binoculars last week I saw two birds I couldn't identify, so went back that afternoon and next morning with camera and long lens but needless to say they didn't show. You would have thought I had learned my lesson a couple of days later in Padstow, having (I thought) ex...

I lugged my K3 and lenses in my camera bag to Crete last September and even took it to the beach. it seemed a daft idea for a beach holiday. If i hadn't, I doubt i would have pics of Kingfishers. Off back to another part this late June (Historic old Venetian town of Rethymon) Same decision makin...

Some good points in all this. We can easily become obsessed with carrying kit everywhere, which I suppose is why sometimes there's a reaction against it and we start to look at compacts and CSCs again. However, no matter how good they might be, they are still small and fiddly and they aren't DSLRs. ...

Actually John I agree with you, I am actually quite emotionally attached to my Pentax gear, particularly the lenses....going to a high risk place such as a four day music festival and camping means I am adverse to taking my decent stuff in case it gets nicked! I know that I could buy another FZ1000 ...

I'm in awe of the commitment shown by some of you guys. The older I get the more I'm drawn to smaller, lighter cameras and lenses. In truth the standard of sensors has improved so much that, barring specialist use such as bird photography or extreme low-light work, most cameras on the market wil...

I have just come back from the TPS, loved the K-1, I was impressed with the K-1's noise (or lack of) at ISO 128000. I feel a dent in the bank balance coming. Also got a Ricoh/K-1 T-shirt :lol:

Even with the auto focus their was no noise at all, the lcd screen pulls out on little rods and adjusts to where you want it, but thinking if dropped the screen would be a gonna for sure Dave

Focusing with Sigma 170-500mm lens
Hello, Last year I bought a used Sigma 170-500mm APO DG lens for use with my Pentax K7 and K5 DSLR. I can obtain reasonably decent sharp shots when used at close distance (if the subject is within 10 meters) however when I try and shoot wildlife which is further away my shots appear to be out ...

Focusing with Sigma 170-500mm lens
Hello, thanks for responding to my enquiry. Good questions! Firstly I have NOT gone into the settings to de-active the shake reduction. I used to have a switch on the back of my K10 so forgot all about that! I did secure the Lens to the Tripod and not the camera. I used the lens both hand held...

Focusing with Sigma 170-500mm lens
As the Sigma has shake reduction (3 modes, off, static and panning) I always turn off the in-camera SR to avoid conflict when hand-held, and both for a static tripod shot. I have found that over a long distance the Sigma loses sharpness at 500mm and it is reported that it does better at say 450mm; a...
