Cleaning The CCD
25 euros? Wow! Nikon Canada just recently charged us $325 CAD ($150 Brit pounds) to clean our D100 sensor. Of course, there was some corrosion inside (after four years and 50,000+ shots) that had to be cleaned up, so that might explain the extra cost.

Of course, there was some corrosion inside (after four years and 50,000+ shots) that had to be cleaned up... "Of course"? Is this something Nikon are known for then? Oh dear. Hands up someone with a Pentax that's corroding after 4 years... Anyone? No?? :lol: Dan

Cleaning The CCD
It depends how you treat the camera. My MX cameras that I bought all those years ago are still working, buy I don't dunk them in water or take them out in the rain without a plastic bag for a cover. Plus, they are all mechanical. Try that with your electronic marvel!!

And to be fair to Ijs, I've just seen they're a journalist, so perhaps the cameras get a rougher treatment than mine. But take a look at if you haven't already seen it. :lol: Apparently it still worked. :D Dan

Cleaning The CCD
Well, I reckon it would needa bit of drying out, but it would be a good excuse to upgrade to the 16-45. :D Dan

Cleaning of old negs is a specialist area and I would research it first. Also, try the process you choose on an unimportant sample first. There are cleaning solutions that will help remove mold. You could rewash and dry the negatives. I always have stored negatives in archival sleeves and only...

Kit Lens Replacement
for example I have a Zeiss Flektogon 35mm F2.4 It is an amazing standard lens on a crop sensor DSLR, and is probably my favourite lens overall. This lens is so sharp wide open that on my *istDL2 I cannot distinguish a difference in sharpness between F2.4 and F8 I suspect (though I have not ...

Kit Lens Replacement
But will a better lense improve the performance of my DL2 in the same range in quality as say the K10D You will get a better performance from your *istDL2 by upgrading your kit lens to the 16-45mm. This is the logical and simple answer IMHO. The K10D has a higher resolution sensor, so using this ...

AF330 FTZ and istDL
Nikon have quite clearly said they are going with the APS-C sized sensor. Only Canon and Kodak have had full frame, and that is not without its own problems.

AF330 FTZ and istDL
George, do you still think that everything I had told is : "Rubbish..."? Yes. You said that: "Modern lenses work with modern cameras. There will never be a so-called "full-frame" Pentax DSLR, and most people will never use film again, so they will not be disadvantaged i...

AF330 FTZ and istDL
Thank you for your answer. I think that you are right. You didn't mention anything about Full Frame? Do you believe that Pentax isn't going to produce Full Frame bodies? Why do you think they will? There are fewer so-called full-frame bodies available now than there were five years ago. Niko...

Extension tubes!
They move the lens further away from the film plane or digital sensor, and this has the effect of allowing the lens to focus on objects that are close. It's more convenient to buy a proper macro lens, but if you aren't sure if you want to pay for one, this is a cheaper alternative. G

Nice picture, but a close look shows a few dust specks on your sensor! :wink:

Poll - who would £1000 for a full frame K10D?
Who would have paid more - perhaps £1000 body only price? - for a lower noise & 35mm, backward W/A lens compatible, K10D rather than the APS sensor sized version?

Poll - who would £1000 for a full frame K10D?
Tricky. Well, I originally paid nearly £1200 for the *ist-D, and was half expecting the K10D to be around that price. Pleased that it was half that :D And yes, I'd considered moving to the 5D as well... but I like the diminutive size and lens quality from the Pentax gear I have already, and the c...

Poll - who would £1000 for a full frame K10D?
There are some very good points raised here. I agree that it's unlikely that Pentax will release a full frame sensor SLR soon, but I don't think that it has anything to do with APS'ish size sensors being available/cheap/better... the reason that ALL SLR manufacturers make their bodies good value ...

Poll - who would £1000 for a full frame K10D?
I've settled quite happily for the APS-C sized sensor. The quality is there, obviously it will get better, but it's good enough for the A3 exhibition prints that I make. Large sensors are not always the answer - how about the ill-fated and expensive Kodak DSLRs? Huge price, huge file size and lou...

John, I think the key to your post is the word potential... if you know what you're up to and are happy to spend the time processing a RAW file correctly and methodically then, [i]potentially it can be better than the same shot taken as a JPEG. I have a number of fabulous images that I've tak...
