$23,000
Yes, $23,000 which will no doubt turn into £20,000 + VAT for a new excluding lens and charger. 37.5 MP from a 30x45 sensor Anyone fancy buying one?

Need/want Lee/Cokin filters
Just to add another angle to this subject - a lot of people will use no filters at all. Blending two exposures has the exact same effect as grad-ND, is a lot more versatile and a whole lot cheaper :shock: The problem is that only works with static objects, so not always usable. I've a cokin Z-pro...

Epson R1800 printer -very blue results
Are you using genuine Epson Cartriges? It sounds as if you have a nozzle blocked on one of the colours. Have you done a nozzle check to see if all the colours are printing? If a nozzle is blocked go through several cleaning cycles and check again.

dig slr over film
I have just developed 5 rolls of 35mm film using the Tamron 28-75 and the MZ-6. I used them all in one day at the Notting Hill Carnival in London last week as I decided it was a good place to train my skills and use film after recently purchasing the MZ-6. I also took pictures at the same even last ...

gx20 and long exsposure mode
You were hitting the limits of the camera and lens. F/22 is probable the highest f-number of the lens, right? What happens is the camera meters and you tell him to use 30seconds. He lowers the iso to his lowest (iso100) exposure is still to bright so the camera use a higher f-number but hits th...

New type of camera
Being a Hartblei though it can't be long before there's a P6 mount available - that might be worth buying if the price was right :) Yes, but what back are you going to put on it? Leaf backs cost a fortune. If you were intending to put a Mamiya, H'blad or Contax back on it then you already have a ca...

New type of camera
I would hope it would be a bit less. Nearer to the price of the film version (now that 35mm-type DSLRs are similar in price to equivalent film cameras), though depending on which sensor is used that may be an unrealistic expectation. G

New type of camera
Yes, the sensor is the largest determinant of price. Pentax has historically competed aggressively for the lower end of the market. The film 645s showed that. But under Hoya I am not so sure. $10,000 for a true 645 sensor size would be very good in the market. $6,000 would be a bit of a miracle.

Panasonic LX-3
Great little camera, I bought one for my wife a couple of months back. Build is excellent, it's nice and compact and the 3" screen is superb. As you mentioned it has a fast f/2 2.8 lens and I believe strikes the right balance between wide angle, zoom and optical quality. Also given the relatively sm...

Panasonic LX-3
I bought one in June as a carry-around camera. Have been pleasantly surprised not to have missed the lack of reach much - this was my main concern before buying it. However, I just find myself working with what I've got and not bothering about the limited range (and at the other end the width is gre...

Focussing blues
The K-7 has a solution to this problem, it analyse the light that hits the AF sensor and adjust it so the camera should focus just as fine under tungsten as under day-light. Maybe worth an upgrade Mike?

New Camera and blotches on images grr

New Camera and blotches on images grr
Dust bunnies almost certainly :) (Watch out they don't start breeding :lol:) Use the dust mapping feature to show where they are, and how big. Try the sensor clean function. If that fails, a Rocket Blower normally does the trick. Realistically dust is always going to be a problem. However, ...

New Camera and blotches on images grr
They must be gigantic ones :) I had my K100DS for a couple of years without cleaning the sensor once. I never noticed any problems in any of the thousands of photos I took in that time. It wasn't until I got a macro lens and started using very small apertures (f22 etc) in conjunction with large are...

Should we post-process?
If you want to stay on top of things, you have to PP your own work. I cannot believe any photographer in his/her right mind would give away his files and leave PP to another. The big guys (Like David Noton) do, but those people are on his payroll. And even than, he has final control. Sub-contrac...

Pentax 645D Release Date
£5000-£6000 would be a very competitive price, it might press down some of the high-end fullframe DSLR. Let see if it's true since the price is very low, but it would be a great stunt. The sensor though will be most likely Kodak so a KAF-31600 31.6 MP CCD sensor

Pentax 645D Release Date
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'd like to think that the new back will fit old 645's as many of us with old 645's and lenses (both manual focus and AF) can't afford a new £5000.00 / £6000.00 camera but a back only might be affordable. I'm sure if it fits then Pentax would make a lot of ...

Pentax 645D Release Date
I still can't understand why I would want to use my old FF lenses on a FF pentax, they just wouldn't cut the mustard. The edge deffinition would not be good enough for the demands of a FF sensor. I get much better quality using them on APS-C where the sweet spot covers more of the field of view.

Pentax 645D Release Date
I was thinking in terms for large prints, billboards etc as well as pixel density. Pentax will never make sensors. Money is not there for them to start doing so. They buy them in, so why not use the FF Sony sensor? Nikon don't make sensors, they just show Sony how to use them properly. :lol: ...
