A smaller camera system - your views please!
Currently looking around ourselves for what’s next. Looking at OM System and trialling the OM-5 mkii as a taster. Mix of basic lenses to get started - the 17mm prime is tiny and makes the whole thing really compact. Miss the image quality of the Pentax but need to do a fair comparison and ma...

@robbiec - funnily enough that's pretty much the approach I've been taking for the last year or two, and your FF suggestion is my preferred option most of the time - BUT ( that's a big but), even the weight of the DFA21, *50, Choice of *85 or *70-200 is too much for a several hour walk. The last wal...

All this talk of the MX takes me back - I used to have an M35/2, M50/1.4 and M85/2.0 with my black MX and winder, a great little outfit and it certainly fits the bill for size and weight, But I'm not going back to the film days - if I did I'd have to have a darkroom set up (I was never overly happy ...

I have been somewhat absent.
I have not been posting on here for many months, for which I apologise. For the last 18 months I have been going through a very acrimonious dissolution of my civil partnership which is still ongoing. This has brought huge legal bills, and led to me being excluded from my own house for three months. ...

Sorry to hear of your difficult times, but a warm welcome back and I hope you soon get back into the Pentax Vibe. :cool:

Good to have you back, we are getting a bit thin on the ground! Your post prompted me to take a look at your gallery, and what a high class set it is, excellent work. I'm hoping we'll see some more. Best regards Mike

Now that those bad times are passing I hope you'll be able to rebuild and see positivity for the future. I had noticed your absence and kept an eye on your Flickr but could see that was not very active either. I look forward to you posting again - it is sad that we won't be treated to your beautiful...

Welcome back. There's no need to apologise for being absent for a while, life has a habit of throwing curveballs once in a while and you've got no choice but to deal with them. They can take their toll but getting back to photographic things can help with a return to some sort of normality (the voic...

Also welcome back and very sorry to hear about Ripley being a dog lover myself.

I have taken many pictures of little Rips over the years , both formal portrait, and candid fun. The one I keep coming back to is this... shot on film with a Super A. by , on Flickr

Peter, there's no need to apologise for absence. I've enjoyed seeing Ripley living life to the full vicariously through your photos. He looked a special dog and one that I'm sure you'll look back on soon with fondness and happy times outshining the grief.

Welcome back Peter. I too have been absent for some time but not for such unfortunate reasons. I hope you get a resolution soon.
