Thank you! :smile: I have a diesel heater in my van, but these were shot in my back garden. So I was sat in my living room gawking at my tablet controlling the kit! :cool:

Time and opportunity to use the photo items I already have :grin: Steve That is a definite - I make the same promise to myself each year to do more but seem to achieve less!! Yes, time indeed. But in my case, time to get my collection of all sorts of things photographed and onto Ebay for dispos...

A sad day....
Thank you all for the kind words, I will of course drop into these forums from time to time, there is far more here than just Pentax :) In reply to you Gibis I generally prefer to manual focus, even with AF glass, so I have considered the possibility of swapping out the mount on some of the lenses...

K-70 DIY Projects
Since I bought my K-70 in 2018 I have come up with some DIY projects for it. The first was concieved of when I first used some long glass with it. I did not like having the glass mounted on the tripod with the K-70 body hanging off the back of the glass and otherwide unsupported. My solution was ...

Help with Theft
I know it doesn't help in getting your kit back, but is it insured? If not with special insurance then your household contents insurance might cover it.

How to use the 1.7xAF adapter with (almost) any lens.
YOU DO THIS TO YOUR EQUIPMENT AT YOUR OWN RISK. Short circuiting electrical devices is generally frowned upon! It is generally thought that the F series 1.7x auto focus adapter will only work with certain K mount lenses - those with the pins to communicate data from lens to camera. Wrong! For exa...

A smaller camera system - your views please!
There are some profoundly annoying quirks with some of the smaller digital cameras. Buttons that press too easily. Dials that also press when not wanted to. Centre point focus that won't stay in the centre. I would suggest trying the ones you shortlist out for a few days. Some manufacturers have...

How much would you gain and how much would you lose is the key question. The carriage of multiple lenses can be removed by using a zoom - The Tamron 28 - 200 (model A03) is a high performing FF example. It's so good that Pentax rebadged it to their own brand. It goes on holiday with me every year an...

I have used Olympus system cameras in the past, EM5ii and a EM1ii and they are lovely cameras to use and some of the lenses are very compact but I found the cameras felt a little cramped and although there was a weight advantage, after going back to a DSLR (Pentax K70) I found the DSLR much more com...

Thank you for all your comments and suggestions, it is genuinely helpful having different opinions as often we tend to think we've covered all the options when we ask a question like this but different viewpoints make you think deeper! @loadoftripe - Don't be put off the Ricoh by my comments, the...

Great question to start with Lenny, and some brilliant insights from other members. Being a spring chicken still (not seeing 70 until January) I still have too much gear a lot of which is heavy - this has led me to being more selective about what I take out with me but invariably the lens that I lea...

As a user of an L-mount camera I have read quite a bit about the S9. The Sigmas have their fans but are known for being very quirky. The image quality from the S9 is excellent, should be exactly the same as the S5 II, which is the same (or maybe a little worse due to the phase detect AF points) ...

If it’s any consolation LennyBloke I know of a (wealthy) photographer who swopped all his kit for Leica only for a year or so later to change back again!

If it’s any consolation LennyBloke I know of a (wealthy) photographer who swopped all his kit for Leica only for a year or so later to change back again! This resonates. At one stage some time ago I 'tried out' Leica. Didn't work for me. Reverted to Pentax.

I admit I'm late in contributing to this thread, although I've followed it from the start, I've 4 x Pentax cameras and take out generally what I expect to use on the expected target shoot. The heaviest is the 645z bag at iro 15kg to 18kg and cos of the nature of when I use the 645z it's generall...
