hmmm how can Janitor be rated higher than Author? Cleaning up crap is easier than writing it? :roll:

Cleaning Negatives
Has anyone had first hand experience with cleaning dust and fingerprints from negatives before copying them? Thank goodness I did some searching before starting as I was going to wipe them down using a damp cloth or rewash them and this is apparently the worst thing that one can do. The most c...

Cleaning Negatives
Thanks I read about it and agree that it sounds perfect, did you see the price :shock: that's why I was thinking of using alcohol. If it must be PEC-12, then I'll use it but I have a lot of negatives. Greg

Cleaning Negatives
Greg - Pec 12 is expensive, but it goes a long way! I use it sprayed (very gently) onto a cotton bud so as not to "flood" the neg or slide I'm cleaning. It's the proverbial canine danglers. If you are going to try alcohol - use isopropyl alcohol. Should be about half the price of PEC 12 (used...

Cleaning Negatives
I have always used TETENAL film cleaner. Jessops used to sell it for about a fiver for a half litre bottle. 70-90% alcohol, 10-30% benzin. Moisten cloth with cleaner and wipe neg gently. Looked on t'web, spray is available.

Cleaning Negatives
I have now tested isopropyl alcohol, 90%, using a dampened micro fibre cloth and giving the negatives a quick wipe down, it removes all the dust and fluff and dries instantly without any effect, that I can see, on the negative. I must still find a badly marked one and try it using ear buds to remove...

New W90 waterproof
Not impressed with the W80, Pentax advised sending it to Johnsons for repair possible sensor issue. Not bad for new kit. Personally I would not go anywhere near another Pentax P & S. But the K10 & K20 are never too far away. By the way Johnsons have yet to acknowledge receipt, pretty poor service al...

lost ALL my gear!
Diesel is a lubricant, petrol isn't. diesel is the fuel of the devil:twisted: I know turbocharging and 16 valve technology has made diesel more 'liveable' but I would rather live with a petrol turbo giving 260 horses than diesel offering just 150 horses Glad you got the camera back... Your othe...

Looks like the same lens as the Optio W80, so will probably use the same sensor as well. The P70 I had used that sensor and at base ISO's it was pretty decent for a P&S, even at ISO 400 it was still quite usable. It will be interesting to see if it actually has a EVF rather than just a styling hu...

I'm more interested in the sensor size - if the equivalent wide FL is 28mm then the sensor's going to be a 1/2.33" like in the W80. If, however, the equivalent is 24mm (getting more common) then that 5.1mm lens means there's a 1/1.63" sensor sat behind it like the one on the Panasonic LX3. Now *that...

Full specs here: http://www.pentax.co.uk/en/group/5/product/16472/body/overview/Photo_Cameras.html No EVF, pity, just a standard LCD, but it has sensor SR and a reasonable spec for a P&S.

1/2.3" sensor, no manual (A/S/M) exposure modes. Nice looker but won't be getting my £££ after all. :(

Ned Bunnell (CEO Pentax USA) uses a Leica D-LUX 4 (LX3 clone) so I suspect he would be on your side! :wink: There is quite a lot of development in the sub m43 sensor arena at the moment and I suspect that the next few models from various makers will begin to get interesting. The new Casio EX-FH10...
