Scanning Kodachrome
I can't specifically recommend any slide cleaning fluid, but a web search will no doubt find products labelled as such. Do Jessops still sell one? Maybe one of the darkroom suppliers can help.

Scanning Kodachrome
For slide cleaning solutions, try to get hold of some PEC-12. It's made by Photographic Solutions Inc and is designed for cleaning muck off slides. It's quite expensive but will last a long time. Rocket blower off both sides under a good light source so you can see the dust and hairs you're tryi...

Comments and common sense?
Some comparison of models, Thom Hogan: Some of you probably want to know how it compares to the competition (Pentax K-5, Sony Alpha 55, Canon 60D). In a word: similar. It's impossible to do apples-to-apples comparisons because there are plenty of things that get in the way of that. But in playi...

Help! Murder! Polis!...
...as people in Glasgow are fond of saying in a crises. I've spent the day in the studio doing product shots for the loudspeaker manufacturer Tannoy. Possibly one of the most challenging things I've ever done. Can you imagine how many shades of black there are in one cabinet that also has very...

K5 Problem - Am I Unreasonable?
I returned my Pentax K5 with sensor marks to Pentax 5 weeks ago. I asked if possible could I get the replacement before I went on holiday, 3 weeks after it was returned. I have heard nothing and am now back from my holiday. What annoys me is that having paid for the camera, I am now left without ...

K5 Problem - Am I Unreasonable?
I contacted Pentax on reading about the recall, who told me that all replacements would be handled through the retailer, Warehouse Express in this case. WH sent Fedex to me to pick up the camera to be taken to Pentax and Pentax, when I asked to get the replacement in time for my holiday, told me ...

CS5, Lightroom 3.2 or both? Any Suggestions please.
I can really do without Lightroom but not without Photoshop... I couldn't do without Lightroom but could easily do without Photoshop. in fact I don't use photoshop at all. I use Corel photopaint for any bitmap work I can't do in Lightroom. but frankly the only time I use Photopaint is for cleaning ...

CS5, Lightroom 3.2 or both? Any Suggestions please.
Can you edit DNG files directly in CS5? Yes DNG opens directly from lightroom to photoshop and they work almost as PSD. You can even select several photos and directly merge them into panorama or HDR in photoshop, with PEF you first need to convert them. I don't believe you can save as DNG thoug...

Lexar ships first 128GB SDXC card
That's why you got the Battery Grip!:lol: No, honestly now, I would never dream of shooting Video with my K5. It is an extra that I could do without as I shoot video only with a proper video camera. However I do not know what is round the corner so I may have a situation one day where I may have to...

Lexar ships first 128GB SDXC card
There's definitely s future for 128Gb cards. I fully agree. The next Pentax (K-3?) whenever it may come will probably come with a Full Frame Sensor and more then 20MP. Canon already is rumoured to bring out a new 5D MKIII or 6D with a Full Frame Sensor and 24MP. Nikon has a new camera in the mill ...

there are still rumours about Pentax Evil Cameras..
as for a compact system with a small sensor... I think it makes sense for Pentax esp if it has an auto 110 mount or c mount... but what about an aps-c sized sensor? here is the competition: Of course the Pentax kx beats them all: here is what a sony looks like with a pentax 21mm pancake len...

The new large sensor compact cameras are very uncomfortable to hold and not really particularly small. I was playing with a GF2 and a 20mm f1.7 lens and it felt as heavy as my K10D and was much harder to hold steady as it had no grip! I'd rather stick a DA21 on a Pentax DSLR.

I thought this was the new camera? or is it a PS job? I'm not sure. Best regards rumor has it to be a 12 mp camera with a compact camera sized sensor... smaller than apsc. expect an auto 110 or cmount lensmount.

No, I would like an NEX style mirrorless camera from Pentax, and i'm sure they can do a better job with the k-mount adapter. Although a dslr-style mirrorless optimised for liveview and video makes sense too. A c-mount camera is a bizarre idea but we'll see! if i was gonna design an evil camera fr...

I'm surprised everyone discounts having two cameras for different purposes. Everyone doesn't :) I have my K-5s for proper shoots, but I also have my little discrete Sony T900 for, errr discrete shots. Everytime I go shopping I'm always snapping away around Tescos and Aldi. under ISO400 it's ...
