Lens lubrication
One of my non Pentax lenses developed a "sticking point" at the lower end of the zoom range. It's seen an enormous amount of use in fairly hot climates. I've previously had to do the same on one of my Pentax lenses, a Minolta 50mm macro and a Sigma zoom. Front sticky cover on this lens needs remo...

Really beautiful shots of the lakes! I stayed near Grasmere a few years ago, would really love to go back this summer.

Interesting that it is the much-vaunted compact mirrorless market that Nikon have decided to opt out of due to development costs and poor sales projections. Why develop a high end fixed lens range when the market is dominated by other manufacturers with interchangeable lens options? Did they feel ob...

What Nikon is doing to maintain a lion market share is not sustainable without innovation given how many people are perfectly content with documenting their lives with their phones; and frankly, why buy a not so cheap entry dslr that was gimped beyond belief in comparison to it's bigger brothers whe...

Thought it was going to say their next DSLR's auto-focus was not up to scratch. :twisted:

Typically this news comes out just as I'm about sell all my Pentax gear and go all in with Nikon! It's either going to be 'Nikon is doomed' or 'Nikon are restructuring and focussing on what they know best', here's hoping for the latter! See you back in six months!

Well twelve months then! Following in Jules' footsteps!? Once a Pentax user, always.... I don't think anyone could follow in Jules' footsteps, they have gone to brands none of us would ever dare to venture, and then back again, and again, and again, and ...... I couldn't afford the footwear bill...

I have a foot in three camps. I shoot film on a Pentax (Spotmatic) but digital on a Fuji X100T and Nikon (D810), having switched out from a well-loved Pentax K5. Am I troubled that Nikon will go the way of other well-known marques? Obviously, I hope they don't. Their restructuring, getting rid...

Just to chuck in my thoughts on this. I have to many old Pentax lenses going back to late 70s and 80s that I will never part with, they fit and still perform well on my K5 & K3ii and they have over the years become like old friends. So Pentax for me until I shuffle off.

.....Nikon and Canon users on the other hand are mostly people who want a DSLR but they have no idea why or what to do with it when they get it.... I like this.... :D As a side issue Nokia are due to re-release its iconic 3310 mobile phone. I'm sure it will be a great success as it was first time...

Being a thread about Nikon, I can't comment on their firmware update policy. Fuji however released a free update about a year back that was so big they released a new version of the manual too. Pentax tend to provide compatibility updates for new lenses, and fix any bugs present in features at r...

People who aren't familiar with financial reporting jargon often think that an "extraordinary loss" is an extra large loss. It isn't. It's out of the ordinary, and that is good. It means that a one-off event has caused a loss (or drop in profits), but the underlying trading conditions haven't n...

Perhaps I will have to see something. That last sentence looks a bit Delphic. I meant to write SELL something. Jeesh ... we don't see you for months and months and now you won't shut up. Nice to see you back George. :wink:
