What Lens for tight spaces?
Some great feedback here, thanks for all of the comments and responses. To clarify, when on hols, I will usually only take one lens out with me, so although I took the 12-24, 17-70 and 55-300, I wouldn't have them all with me on any given day. The one I would definitely NOT use in tight spaces is ...

Sigma : Excellent Service
Just a quick post to say that I posted my 24-70mm/70-200mm/85mm lenses to Sigma on the Friday, they received them Monday and I had them back on the Wednesday with nice new K-1 compatible mounts. As a side note I received my used K-1 and it had some marks where a unmodified 24-70mm had been mounte...

Sigma : Excellent Service
Posted my 150-500 off a couple of weeks back; quick turn round for the K1 mod - the delay came with UPS returning the package!

Sigma : Excellent Service
I've just sent two on my Sigma Lenses away to Sigma Service UK to have the mounts modified to allow them to be used on a Pentax K1. The lenes were posted on Monday with receipt acknowledge by Sigma on Wednesday, to my surprise I had another email on Thursday to inform me the lenes were modified and ...

First to jump
Nikon have said they are researching a single model full frame mirrorless for their range. it will no doubt also be very expensive. With Polaroids, vinyl discs or even cassettes and some old film makes back in vogue there will always be niches. Rather than a film Pentax I'd be intrigued by a ...

Getting rid of tungsten blue filter.
As you've filtered out the red end of the spectrum it's hard to see how it can be put back. I would suggest lateral thinking and converting them all to monochrome. It will of course be mono shot with a blue filter and that will give you an effect similar to using "ordinary film" that was only sensit...

K-1 Upgrade thoughts.
Of those of you who have moved from a K5iis or K-3 to the K-1, may I enquire if any of you had 2nd thoughts or were disappointed in any way? I ask this because I purchased a K-1 on impulse about 3 weeks ago and although I was aware it was larger than the K-3, on unwrapping it I was a bit surprised ...

It's a personal thing, but it was a pleasure to get back to a lens having the same field of view that I used to use on film. So a 28mm was a wide angle again. In use, the larger viewfinder is nice, the results are superb, the smoothness of operation sublime. The K-3 and K-3II are themselves lovel...

K-1 Upgrade thoughts.
My photography has 'gone quiet' for a while - I've been a film (35mm & 120) for decades - if the K-1 had arrived when I was still shooting enthusiastically it would have been an automatic choice. Since then my interest in photography has waned and other interests I'm pursuing have priority on budget...

A little-advertised fact about the K1 which is mentioned in the brochure is the unique design of the mirror mechanism. In all other DSLR Cameras the mirror simply flips up when the shutter is pressed; as the mirror is scaled up to match the larger sensor this results in a deeper body. However in the...

Hoi Marc! Nog een Pentaxke?I thought you went to Olympus! I am still toying with what to replace the K5ii with. I can't honestly justify a K1, much as I would love one, and the weight of it and it's lenses is a serious consideration for me too, but it is tempting. Defragged, I hope you'll come...

On a different note, whilst on my internet travels recently, I came across a lovely blog by the photographer Jonathon Gorse who extols so eloquently why we are and should be so proud to be Pentaxians. For those who are not familiar with it, here's a link:- http://www.jonathangorsephotography.com/blo...

It is notable though that JG says he has not had the chance to examine what we al know to be a weak area - focussing/tracking. You might need sunglasses but take off the rose tinted specs first. I think anyone that has used Pentax for any length of time should by now realize that fast accurate fo...

On Landscape Magazine
Just a quick one to say I've got an article in the recently published issue 148 of magazine (the online Landscape Photography magazine). They asked me to write an "Endframe" piece for them a couple of months back, and it's just surfaced. The actual page of the piece is , so do drop by and h...

Are we being hacked?
I was distressed today (Wednesday) to see two weird commercial postings in the comments associated with two of my recent Gallery postings : “Untitled” and “Overhead Theatre”. Can the webmaster please take a look at them and report back to the group? It looks like we have been hacked. Go4IT.

New M42 mount camera
What do you folks think of this? An interesting concept. I recall something similar not so long ago when an entrepreneur was looking for sponsorship to develop a digital back that would convert the Pentax LX film camera to digital. I don't think that project got off the ground but I would be cur...

Adobe nightmare
FWIW, I lost LR 5 in a recent meltdown, but got it back this morning after a lot of searching and work on the Adobe website - maybe some day I'll actually get around to using it ;)
