Memory Card
Apart from increased capacity (and 8GB is pretty small compared with what's sold today), in what way do you think your current card needs to be better? Steve I've been away from photography for a number of years, and just decided to get back into it. (hence renewing my subscription). Mainly to b...

Inkjet Printer
Epson Expression Photo XP-55. About £120. Just an A4 printer, doesn't copy, fax or make the coffee. Got it when I had to replace a printer while there were still shortages due to Covid, so not much choice particularly if you wanted just a printer without added gizmos and didn't want to break the ban...

Not for me, either. In fact, I hardly use my phone as a phone, let alone a camera. It's used as a 2-factor authentication device, a controller for music streaming devices, a receiver for internet radio, etc. etc. but as a camera? No. The main competition for my DSLRs are my Q and Q-S1, which are my ...

If you notice how much technology has changed in the mobile phone world in the last 15 or so years. the advances are imeasurable. The advances in the dslr world not so much. The better camera phones will now match any camera in the Pentax range, these days as a walkabout camera. Certainly surpass t...

I have sometimes used my phone, and even won a couple of competitions with photos taken on it, but mostly I go back to an SLR: digital if I need images quickly (for work etc), film for fun. I find myself shooting more and more film these days. K.

I cannot help you with this query, as Im camera shy:shock: I guess it must be my handsome good looks that prevents me from appearing on screen, so in as not to upset the much less blessed. I am too modest for my own good to be honest, its held me back all these years. On a more serious note:D W...

Im sure that some sort of an adapter can sort the HDMI connection out, An adapter can indeed sort it out. Search for 'video capture card', cost about £15 - £20 from the usual .co.uk shopping places. I use one to display HDMI output from the K3 on my PC screen when I do focus stacking. But you've the...

K5 Replacement/Equivalant
If I do sell my K5... Seems like there's some doubt there :wink:. There's a lot to be said for having two cameras. In particular there's less chance of missing that great but fleeting opportunity if each is fitted with a complementary lens. For example, a long lens on one, wide angle on the othe...

K5 Replacement/Equivalant
Oh dear dilemma dilemma After reading all comments I'm now not sure about the K3. It is a great camera and I'm sure I would be happy with it. The main reason for the K3 was firstly the cost then the on camera flash mainly for convenience, also not having the hassle of an external one. That said ...

K5 Replacement/Equivalant
just to throw another spanner in the works i would go for K3ii, had one for a long time. A third party flash can be picked up if required and not hat much of a problem to use. Only reason i no longer have the Pentax is due to health reasons and had to reduce weight but if things should improve at an...

K5 Replacement/Equivalant
but if you are not intersted in GPS, Astro Stacer or Pixel Shift. What really is the difference between K3 and K3ii. Apart from the flash. Allegedly slightly improved shake reduction, improved continuous auto-focus, possibly/probably a few other improvements. But these are small and may not be notic...

Franka Rolfix Camera Lens on K3iii
I've just been looking for a photographic series I put on here about it but forum submissions only go back so far on one's portfolio. Basically, I use a plastic body cap that is threaded to go onto an M42 body. (E bay). Drill a suitably sized hole through it (I use a lathe) and then secure the shutt...

Your most used accessories?
I suspect most of us have a fair selection of accessories in our collections (and I'm not including lenses as accessories) most of which will get used once in a blue moon, but is there anything that you use quite frequently? I find that I use Auto Extension tubes most weeks, they offer a transfor...

Your most used accessories?
Where to start... :roll: An O-ME 53 magnifying eyepiece is permantly on the K3. How does it improve my output? It helps me see more clearly - and with my eyes, every little helps! For outdoor macro, a right-angled finder is usually in my pocket for low level shots. Not being as flexible as I u...

Your most used accessories?
Like Flan above, a hand strap is permanently attached to my camera and qualifies as my most used accessory. I don't like a camera dangling from a neck strap and once you've tried a hand strap there's no going back IMO.:smile:
