Why is there so many K3 for sale
I owned a KX then a KR before moving to a K5 and last year a K3. The entry models have upped specs since then with real pentaprisms and weather seals BUT have inferior noisy shutters, inferior sensor shake to clean method, and more plastic and less ergonomic bodies to name a few. I don't think the t...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
My first Pentax DSLR was a K200D that I bought in 2008. Around 4 years ago, I bought a K30, mainly because its high ISO performance is about 2 stops better than the K200D. It's a fine camera and I have enjoyed using it. Several moons back, I shot a RatPack gig at Oldham's Coliseum theatre and r...

Why is there so many K3 for sale
That seems to bring us back full circle, to where I said that the K70 clearly provides great value access to very good, modern sensor technology. From DXO reports I've seen, the K1 offers an approximate 1 to 1.5 stop gain across the ISO range, up to 12,800, over the K5 .... And this of course comes ...

Focusing Rails = minefield!!
The info on the net is sketchy to say the least! I'm after a set of focusing rails for studio work and typed into eBay and Amazon focusing rails and it's a minefield! seem very popular, everywhere I look I come across them and the reviews on them are pretty good but I can't get my head around t...

Focusing Rails = minefield!!
The cheap ones are made from hard plastic and are IMO pretty useless for accurate work. The Novoflex are good but as you see, they are expensive, you need 2 of them to have X and Y movement, I have and I'm vey happy with them.

Focusing Rails = minefield!!
I've got a buying addiction for Novoflex gear. The engineering is 1st class. I've actually got 3 of their racks (one large and 2 small) plus their pano gear and a few heads, The Castel-XL double rack is probably the most useful piece of equipment I own http://www.digital-photography.org/digita...

Focusing Rails = minefield!!
These rails make a big thing out of being exquisitely adjustable- -often in two planes. I've got one of the "Newer" ones. They work fine but they don't like heavy DSLRs sitting on top of them (and remember the whole ensemble has to sit on top of your tripod, making for even more wobble). I curren...

No sale for Pentax gear
Companies whose main business is selling new often only accept used goods as part of a trade in. If they do not have the item you want to buy then they will not make an offer until the item is back in stock.

4 weeks in New Zealand
Guys, I'm off to New Zealand in a few weeks (for a month). Good choice. :wink: Who's been and what can you recommend? What sort of itinerary have you put together so far? For the north, we've got a week... starting the first few days in Auckland (to recover from jetlag), and then heading out alon...

4 weeks in New Zealand
From Picton I'd be heading straight to Nelson, then onwards into the Abel Tasman National Park for some coastal walking and swimming with seals, kayaking etc. The Buller Gorge route to the west coast is superb, and over there you've got the Punakaiki rocks and blowholes. After the glaciers further ...

I keep coming back to this thread, but having been there in 2006 for around 6 weeks and only having scrapped the surface of a fabulous country I can't make too many suggestions for such short trips! :shock: Just enjoy the trip(s), :mrgreen: :mrgreen: and be prepared to make plenty of stops. On S...

4 weeks in New Zealand
Thanks very much for all the recommendations. We've slowly been putting everything together, and my only worry is that we are doing too much driving. I think for the north island we have about 1200kms (in 5 days), and for the south a good 2600kms (in 16 days). We've had to book up a train back ...

4 weeks in New Zealand
This thread sure brings back many memories. Reading about the yesterday's quake is saddening. The quake in Christchurch devastated a city me and my wife truly enjoyed. We went twice, in 2005 and 2007 and hope to do it again. A reason for me to go again is on both trips I had cheap digital cameras...

Am back and more or less over the jet lag, now I've got a stinking cold :( I knew NZ would be offer beautiful landscapes, but I wasn't quite prepared for how lovely some of the scenery would be. Just had a quick dig through the pics... These are literally straight from the camera (ok, quick pro...
