Astro and moon viewing and photography.
Thanks guys. So if I get the SW150 optics, umm... Can I mount it on anything, or does it have to be on a specific mount? I'm certain I'm going to want to photograph the results and i just know I'm not going to be happy with some noisy little sensor ;)

Jewellery techniques.
The cloth you are using is fine it just needs to be draped over something else to lift it a bit. Try attaching the cloth to a bit of old cardboard box. You can make any shape you want and then cover it with the cloth using pins to hold it in place. The same cloth can be used over and over again and ...

k-3 for £599?
The only way to bring prices down is to stop buying, they will soon figure out why. But i can`t see that ever happening in this country. I bet the price of the K3 from the factory is around £100/125:shock:. Cheers Dave Please ask yourself what is the K3 body made of?? Magnesium Alloy...... The...

street photography
Dr O I think that is the struggle I am having, its a bit like looking at Hockney artworks. You often think what's good about that, I could do it. With other bits of modern art the meaning is too intellectual or maybe just con or even a cultural difference I quite agree. One looks at street photograp...

Dslr for a newbie
My recommendation for a first DSLR would be to spend less than £250 and get a K-x. Absolutely superb camera that you can buy in good condition for about £150 or even less. This was my first DSLR and I have owned four of them, two of which are in the possession of my two sons! The sensor on the ...

Dslr for a newbie
I do wonder though if a camera without viewfinder focus indicators is really ideal for someone new and keen to learn about good photography? It seems to me that without this feature it would be fairly difficult to develop any autofocus skills. I'm sure the camera is excellent for what it offers ...

Permajet Vs Lyson Ink
Hello all, I've just taken delivery of a mint low mileage Epson R2400. My little canon ix6550 is a perfectly good thing but ever since my R2400 died on me I've been missing its print quality, especially in black and white. Anyway, I snagged another yesterday for an absolute bargain price of £70!! I...

Enthusiast vs pro cameras.
What makes a "pro" as opposed to an "enthusiast" camera? I find it very odd that the OM-D, with a 4/3rds sensor (and the E5 before it), is considered a "pro" camera, while the K3, with a larger sensor and similar specs, is considered "enthusiast". To me the lines between entry level/enthusiast/pro c...

Enthusiast vs pro cameras.
Pentax was a one time leading the market with a lens mount which was used by many makes of camera. And as I said pro means ability to hire a lens. But to regain that would be hard I can't see how hire shops could be made to offer Pentax lenses for hire. Fuji, Hasselblad, Canon and Nikon have got the...

Do folk use a compact or CSC with their DSLR?
A traditional compact camera should be able to fit in a pocket or be comfortably clipped to a belt. I use a Ricoh CX5 which is pretty good but obviously not in the same league as an MX1 (nor should it be as it's four times less expensive). I've an Olympus EPL1, an original micro four thirds effor...

Are IRND filters OK to use with film?
IRND filters are just the same as standard ND filters for visual light use. The difference is standard ones have no effect n IR, which limits their usefulness for those shooting in IR. Unless you have a modified camera the standard ones will almost certainly be fine for both film & digital. A few e...

What has happened?
The gallery suffers from its thumbnail-style presentation. Only a certain type of image will stand out and attract instant attention at the thumbnail size - this tends to be simpler, graphic type images with bold colours, or mono. Highly detailed images that might look superb large, and in proper vi...

What has happened?
I think theres a bit of a plateau been reached at the moment for Pentax -over the 2-3 years I've been around the big things have been the K5II / s and all the debate about the aa filter, then the K3 and talk of sensor resolutions, and of course all the time in the background the constant resurfacing...

What has happened?
One of the biggest Pentax things to get excited about lately has been the new digital 645, an amazing new camera which successfully integrates medium format aspects with some of the latest and greatest DSLR developments as found on the K3. This creates a more all-round usable camera (perhaps not qui...

Brand Switching
I am a Canon man at heart, always have been , always will be. In film days I used Canon, Pentax and Minolta cameras. In the Digital era it was Canon all the way until I bought the K200D and then the K5 followed and then trade in offer saw me trade in my two Canon 50D's (still my fave cameras :...

Brand Switching
I've hung in with Pentax, since changing from Olympus about 5 years ago, but I may be just about to jump ship, depending on reviews of the A7s. The K3 has been a bit of a disappointment for me, it's just not the upgrade from the K5 I was expecting, at least not for what I want a camera to do. I rea...
