I have a Tamrac Expedition 5 (5575) which is my bag of choice for travelling. It is just carry-on legal, though it is heavy. Luckily it's never been weighed yet. I also have an old model Lowepro Nova, which though smaller holds more than the pretty Bella. But I like my (oatmeal) Pretty Bella for t...

Polarised filters
with a linear filter the camera changed the shutterspeed at around 1 stop when set to Av while turning, with circular filter it doesn't change at all. Well, well... you learn something new every day. All this time I've thought that the exposure is supposed to change as you rotate the filter. N...

Samsung GX10
Re: upgrading from the K10/GX10 to the K20 I disagree with John having done exactly that last year. I wouldn't spend a fortune doing so, but the sensor is definitely better on the K20D and the ease of independent lens focus adjustments is a definite bonus. The "take all bracketed shots with one sh...

Pentax only features
It's not much better in the K-x manual either - basically, as I understand it, it gives you the light trail but keeps the subject [ ie a car ] in focus too . Well, it's nothing to do with focus. It's all about when, during the exposure, the flash happens, specifically in terms of any movement ta...

Slowly and carefully!:D But seriously - get a set of small brushes from artists camel-hair up to very soft 12mm domestic paint, and a soft toothbrush. These will take dust out from all the little nooks and cranni...

Your GX20 has sealing... I simply resined my K10D with the DA*50-135 attach under the tap ^^; Used one very tiny drop of washing soap for your dishes and that worked well, don't know if that's the recommend way... I already see the horrid faces before me :oops: For the non WR lenses I use a micr...

I know it's got weather sealing, but that sounds like tempting fate Stefan. I wouldn't be tempted to do that, especially not with a wetting agent such as detergent. I just use a damp cloth for the task. Or a dry cloth with a hint of 'Mr Sheen'!

Yeah I might indeed be tempting fate that's why I said I'm sure I get some horrid faces :oops: I once had dropped the camera in the mud.. well not drop but I lost my balance and it was covered in mud after that... the only quick fix was to resine it so did that carefully hoping that the seals wou...

Washing machine, paint brishes, lighter fuel, rinsing under taps, Mr Sheen.......I feel almost too weak to respond to all that. I may have nightmares for weeks. Thankfully nobody mentioned dishwashers. :shock::shock::shock: A soft dry cotton cloth or microfibre cloth. If necessary, a slightly dam...

Well John a dishwasher might be an option if you can lower the pressure of the water jets :lol: The best way to clean a camera is not to let it get dirty in the first place, but if it does then as little as possible to clean it. Yeah but even when you pick up your camera it gets dirty... I haven'...

I use optical wet wipes to clean the body and lens, and if they're really dirty with oil from being used when I'm in the workshop I use industrial wet wipes that I use on my hands. Never had any problems and the camera's nice and clean.

Best to keep detergents away from proofed fabric items they ruin the waterproofing agents. Most clothes washing powders and gels are detergents! They should clean off with water only but if you really need help try some ordinary soap in the water and rinse well before drying. A brush helps get mu...

A good qual;ity bag should need very little cleaning. I was in a cafe once and the waitress dropped a load of chicken curry onto my camera bag. It cleaned off with just a damp cloth and didn't even stain.
