Ghosts on photographs
Reminds me of when my local paper (the Wiltshire Times) published some holiday photos taken by a reader that "quite clearly" showed some spooky white fuzzy objects (a bit like some UFO shots I have seen, well Wiltshire is UFO country). They were also quite clearly the result of dust on the sensor -...

To filter or not to filter...
I have been cleaning my own lenses for years. I think photographers worry unnecessarily about front elements and protection via filters. I have seen more lenses damaged from broken filters than lenses damaged without. The front element is also possibly the cheapest element to replace. A bridge...

saying goodbye to a couple of old friends - welcome K5 11
Well it's been a very, very tough decision indeed but I am saying goodbye to my favouritist cameras I have ever owned -2 C*n*n 50D's :( The trade in plus extra £100 offer on the K5 11 was just too much temptation so have just this minute ordered the K5 11 and will be sending the 50D's for trade i...

2006 to 2012 so what's next
CSC with a larger sensor than the Q that isn't the size of a house or look like a fisher price toy Serious enthusiast compact a la Canon G series with rock solid build, weather protection and a sensor as good as the one in the K5

Jessops in trouble?
Been told that no one buys cameras any more as people use their phones? RUBBISH! Not everyone has a smart phone because their stupidly expensive, and anyway, a smart phone cant compare to an SLR. The sensor on a phone is nowhere near as good, and the battery always dies just as you are a...

I am sticking to Pentax
Whilst I cannot speak for the af side of things the build and handling of the K5 is up there with the canon 7D and 5D - nice that the K5 is a bit smaller :D Lets face it, whilst a full frame sensor brings some advantages there are also some disadvantages and it will depend on the individual as to...

Wanted: Small Lowepro Bag + opinions
If you want waterproof and easy access then there are small Billingham bags that are far quicker than messing about with Lowepro zipped bags. Most bags are hinged the wrong way. The hinge for the lid is next to the body, which means two hands are needed - one to keep the flap open, one to extract...

New Sony 20.1 MP sensor
Just been reading the 'hands on' Ephotozine review of the new Sony A58 & it's new 20.1 MP sensor. Given the old 24.3 MP sensor has taken a bit of 'tanking' compared with the 16MP sensor as featured in the K5, I think we can speculate that the K5's replacement will have this new 20.1 MP sensor?

Are we allowed to?
The way this thread has started doesn't really get it off to a good start does it? You can discuss anything that's of interest or of relevance to Pentax Users and the new Nikon is of relevance only in the context that they've chosen to emulate the K-5IIs. This has already been mentioned in anothe...

You can discuss anything that's of interest or of relevance to Pentax Users and the new Nikon is of relevance only in the context that they've chosen to emulate the K-5IIs. This has already been mentioned in another thread. Isn't it "of interest to Pentax users" that Nikon's new APS-C DSLR has a 50%...

Photographing through prison van windows
If you think of the tint as a ND filter there shouldn't be a problem. You just need to isolate the flash from the lens, dial up the flash to max, dial up the sensitivity. I think a rubber lens hood should do it and with the camera and flash on manual. So a vintage rubber hood, a manual focus fast...

Film Photography SUCKS... but is Awesome anyway
Bit of a coincidence!! I just spent all yesterday cleaning up a Pentax MX, and cleaning fungus from it's M 50 1.7. Picked up some BW400CN today, new batteries, and all is well so far. Going into town tomorrow with my F50 1.4. Looking forward to going full frame :D :wink: with, no bag of lense...

Filters
I'm thinking of purchasing the lee system filters, question is would you use soft or hard ND filters, and why. My experience is that with a crop sensor DSLR then hard grads are ideal in almost every situation, in fact I don't think I've used my soft grads more than a handful of times. The graduation...
