Problems with PMs??
Hi all, Not sure if anyone is experiencing problems with sending/receiving PMs but I've noticed some of the PMs I've sent have not been delivered and at the same time they are NOT in the Out box neither (Which they usually are until the PM is received). So in another word those PMs I've sent have...

Blythman at Durham
Just back from Durham camera club where Alan presented a superb array of images with commentary to match. The Durham club looks like a really friendly club with a lot of active members. A great night and well worth the drive up there. Many thanks to David for bringing the event to our attention a...

Higher prices again.
I see that the new price for the K-1 is a pound shy of two grand. At the moment there's a free grip at some dealers. So another 229 pounds worth of kit if you want a grip? Full recommended retail in Australia is 1600 pounds body only. Again, one may question why four hundred pounds difference? If yo...

Higher prices again.
Bring it back to the UK and will you not get slapped with VAT and maybe import duty? Australia and USA both have lower purchase tax rates which would explain some of the price differences. Wex are selling the K1 for £1799.

Higher prices again.
Bring it back to the UK and will you not get slapped with VAT and maybe import duty? For the very many times I've previously travelled, I have yet to see anyone declare a camera upon re-entering the UK. I remember back in the early eighties when customs officers were always checking passengers ...

Higher prices again.
Given how much the pound has dropped it is not surprising that prices are rising. Thats the thing though, against the Yen which has the most impact on our electronic devices its actually recovered to a position where its almost where it was this time last year..... its fallen a lot through that peri...

Forum member "robbiec"?
Hi everyone, Not sure where to put this but just wondered if anyone have heard from/about forum member "robbiec" recently? He offered to give me a refund (Lens purchased from him but was never delivered) and asked for my account information but I've not heard back from him since I sent him my det...

Forum member "robbiec"?
Surely Robbie has seen this thread! If it's been sorted then maybe he should update this post to calm things down and also get confidence back with the community to buy from him. Maybe worth dropping Robbiec a PM JR to see what's going on? If it's not been resolved, is there a way to block him l...

Film is doing very well, but as a minority interest. It will never reclaim its crown as the medium of choice as the digital revolution has swept that away. It's an interesting and slightly expensive way to go as things stand now. I wouldn't go back to film, it no longer fits in with what I need.

The thing with film cameras is that it's not the plastic AF ones people want but the older metal ones that look like proper cameras. A few years ago several young & trendy fashion brands were using manual focus cameras in advertising: Lomography revived film to an extent - but caused great disa...

I shoot film and enjoy it very much, despite it being harder work than digital. I don't agree that the return of film will be short-lived - after the dip people are realising that it can yield very different results from digital, especially when compared to the horribly cranked saturation and contr...

PS - I am quite young (36) but not a hipster, so I regard myself as part of the demographic group that is bringing film back.[/quote] so the Q is if pentax/ricoh bought out a new film camera that took all the new lenses as well as the old would you be intrested in buying one

SSD. Worthwhile?
Expensive to go big, but cheap to go for just a small SSD. Ideal is to SSD the operating system drive, and keep your existing drive. Hard to do that in a laptop. One option is to ditch the optical drive and purchase a replacement spacer daddy to hold one of the drives. SSDs get a yes vote f...

SSD. Worthwhile?
I doubt that an SSD would help much there either Richard! :) I'm not disagreeing that an SSD is a superior product over a traditional disk drive .... I'm just trying to keep it in perspective, and focus on exactly the benefits it would bring to simonmac specifically ....and of course the cost vs...

Failed hard drive
Drive Image running under DOS from a Floppy used to be brilliant and fast sadly killed off by a Bloatware specialist buying it out. Yep, Go Back went too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7bt7Pe1K8w Can you quote any reliable sources about it given Ricoh denies it?

thanks for all your feed back on this subject. I really enjoy the Pentax brand and this forum. I would hate to see the company fold. However your comments seem positive as to the future of the company Regards Ian

I haven't watched the video but on other photography sites , where they are telling Nikon what their future strategy should be, the fanboys are out in force and get their facts completely wrong... Boasting about back compatability of the F-mount but not mentioning that some Nikon ranges won't wor...
