JPS in Liquidation
Only just found out about this - as I was trying to chase up my K1 which went in for upgrade on 20th September. Hope I get a working camera back and not a box of bits. :(

Horror story with a happy ending
It must have been still turned on but in standby mode. By touching the shutter button it wakes up then if no activity for a minute switches back to standby mode. I was using a large camera back with a shoulder strap and the bag was was well packed with equipment. The camera with a lens attached was ...

Steve I hope you enjoy your Sony gear and that it serves you well. I am one of the lucky ones for whom Pentax give me everything I need in cameras and lenses. At our camera club we have about 60 members and within the last few months 4 members have switched from their old brand to Fuji, they were...

In reply to Kim C, Canon and Nikon have both enlarged their mounts to accommodate a moving sensor as well as bringing the lens closer to the sensor which brings its own challenges with lens design - think of the increased angle to the sensor edge. Pentax is unique in having a moving sensor for all i...

I might as well re-post something I posted in another forum.... Having a thinner body isn't an advantage with a lot of 'Big Boys Lenses' :shock: If the rear element is set back into the lens body, such as with a lot of zooms and all long telephotos. The lens body can't be shortened and has to ...

Everyone has to make their own choices based on what they want from a system. As I mentioned to someone else on this forum very recently, lots of fun can still be had using old K and M42 mount lenses (or virtually any mount really) on a mirrorless camera. yep... I'm taking all my old pentax MF pr...

No idea :oops: How about video :shock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmL19fSQCMA -- Why is this twerp doing his piece to camera with it on the floor? Probably only got one of them bendy leg mini-tripods :lol: The focus breathing in this bit is the worst I've ever seen :shock: and Richa...

Any photographer is free to use whatever marque they want to, it's their money. No doubt a fair few come back again having found that the grass isn't greener elsewhere. There are some things that Pentax cameras do brilliantly well and some things that other makes do brilliantly well. It can be qu...

I think what we also have to consider here is what is Pentax's stance to all this ? Wether we like it or not ( I don't) video is starting to be an equal part the market. Not only DSLR but drones. Bloggers and youtubers are getting plentyful. The Pentax reaction to this on their latest flagship K1 II...

A quick search will show that the best video cameras are not necessarily best choice for stills. Another interesting reveal is that a high frame per second rate will not necessarily translate Into more useable captures as the tracking focus cannot keep up, or it relies on reducing the sensor area fo...

This is the funniest thing I've ever seen :shock: :lol: A fashion photographer made his name shooting with Pentax for both stills and video. Then he kicked off on about how bad the AF was and moved to Nikon. His wife didn't like the Nikon video so continued with Pentax :oops: Now he takes n...

He said a lot of nasty stuff about Pentax when he left so lets hope he never comes back. --

No need to apologise. Sony is attracting customers from lots of DSLR companies because the’re innovating and are very competitively priced. This situation is cropping up more and more and the content is usually very similar. People want to stay with Pentax, they really do, but Pentax has not bee...

I stumbled across the AP review of the Z7 - didn't bother reading it but did look at the bit about the F lens mount adapter. Apparently it can't AF all lenses as it has no screw-drive connector, Nikon's solution gained the high praise by the reviewer stating "I found this gave one of the best manual...

Do you want a camera that takes the photos itself, or do you want to take them? That's the subtle difference. A real photographer wants Careful, that's a slippery slope to infer some users aren't real photographers... I'm prepared to hand control of certain aspects over to the camera. I suspe...

Careful, that's a slippery slope to infer some users aren't real photographers... I am of the opinion that mirrorless cameras take over the process. I can't see why anyone would prefer them! How is this different to live view on a DSLR? As above I use this regularly for landscape and night long ...
