Unfortunately not. Did you see the new APS-C body? As womble mentioned, it was in a "glass" case and so you couldn't get very close - but my thoughts: - With all those knobs & dials, it looks a bit "warty" - like someone had afterthoughts about the funcitonality and added a couple to cover the...

SRS event
I would like to add my thanks to the SRS team, a grand day out! Would they also pass on our appreciation to the President who made a special trip into rainy England and back, it’s nice to know how much the company appreciates the European market. The portrait workshop with Brett was enjoyable with e...

He and SRS provided a round for everyone who attended the event: champers all round. :D Not sure it was champers - only had a single sip for the toast to Pentax and Mr Takahashi, and then handed it back because I don't like "fizzy" (especially white) wines :x OTOH, "Cheers" to Pentax, Mr T and ...

Well I for one enjoyed the fizzy drink and a bit of the cake later, and the generous buffet was excellent too. Luckily I remained sober enough not to throw caution and my credit card to the wind back in the shop!

Around the Bird Feeder
When we moved to our present house last year, we set up a (supposedly) squirrel proof bird feeder. It took the squirrels about a day to work out how to extract the nuts from this, and so started a battle of wits. I appear to be ahead in this battle this year since hanging the bird feeder on a piec...

Camera Gear from Europe
Don't things like that stay the same during the 'transition phase' i.e. until the end of 2020? After that, nobody knows. If there is no agreement at the end of the transition phase, presumably you would be able to get a VAT exemption for equipment bought in the EU and exported to the UK, then pa...

Getting ready to sell up and need advice on a compact.
I'll take a look at the MX-1 I did consider a Q and also going back to Olympus with an OM-D but after some consideration I've decided to break away from interchangeable lens cameras, I did even think about a bridge but decided a compact that will fit in my pocket is the way to go.

Getting ready to sell up and need advice on a compact.
When I bought the Sony RX100 compact I went into a number of shops where I could try different cameras. My main requirement was high quality image, robust and pocket sized, reliable auto plus full manual control, reliable auto focus. The RX100 was the one I felt ticked all my boxes. My advice i...

Do people really pay £250 for a K1000 & 50mm f/2
I'm with you on the 6x7/67. There's a place over her ein Madrid that rents a package - body and three lenses - for €28 a day, which doesn't sound too bad to me. The only problem would be finding a day on which I could spend the entire time out with that monster and make good use of it. Sounds a go...

Northern Lights advice
Set focus to manual, focus on a star. Use a tripod, use as low an ISo as you can, and preferably a remote control. I used the B setting when I took photos of the lights and played about a bit with the settings. DH just put his camera on auto, no tripod and snapped away and got some good shots. T...

Northern Lights advice
Thanks all. I'll have the 18-135 with me so I think I'll start with that fitted, and probably take either the 28 F2.8 or 35 F2.4 in case I need something faster. If I get any decent photos then I'll try to post a few when I get back. Let's hope conditions are good. There's no moon when I'm ...

Framing a photo with mount-
This is how I do it: 1. Tape to the back of the window mat (I'd call this the mount) 2 & 3. Usually I use one or two small strips (approx. 2cm long) of masking tape at the top edge. Mike

Framing a photo with mount-
1) I tape the photo to the back of the mount card, using what is sometimes called a 'hinge mount'. That is, I use a couple of small pieces of tape, about 5 cm each, to attach the photo to the top of the mount. 2) I then put a backing card over the whole photo that is typically 2-3 cm larger tha...

17-70 sdm replacement
Send it back, I wouldn't have thought it was worth fixing tbh. The lens is worth around £200 and a SDM replacement is about £175 if I remember correctly. I can sell you a mint working one if you are interested, it's no good on my K-1.
