Does it make any sense to use Pentax in the wedding photography?
Because on some forums ( even Pentax forums) it was clearly stated that without FF you can't even think about shooting weddings. Every forum has it's share of idiots. Anyone who says that is one of them. I bet if the internet and forums had existed back in the pre-DSLR era the same people would hav...

Does it make any sense to use Pentax in the wedding photography?
Most current DSLR's are all capable of producing wedding images regardless of brand or sensor size. In relation to Pentax the K5 as a body for wedding work is fantastic, attach a DA* 50mm to 135mm and if you know what you are doing you will achieve some stella wedding images. take a look at this...

Does it make any sense to use Pentax in the wedding photography?
I'd have thought that the single biggest advantage a K5 had over other DSLRs is the dynamic range. If ever I were to be called upon to shoot a wedding then that would be my camera of choice: the disparity between the dark suits of the men and the blinding white highlights of the wedding gown would b...

Another Bag Thread
The bag is waterproof all over. Waterproofed back pocket refers to there being a small flap that protects the zip and prevents that being a weak point. Billingham bags are specially treated canvas with waterproof membrane. They do survive the worst weather with no problem. In the secong pictur...

ND Grad kits - what to go for
I am hoping to get a 10-20mm wide angle lens later this year for my K-X, the sensor is APS-C size, I have heard about vignetting problems at wide angle with some filter widths - would it be better to go for something wide now in terms of filters such as the Cokin Z-Pro system?

ND Grad kits - what to go for
If cameras went down to ISO1 we wouldn't need them :) Why stop at ISO 1, how about ISO 0.0000001? :D Well yeah if you want to do an hour long exposure of the centre of the sun. :) :) On a serious note I dunno why cams can't provide ISOs a lot lower then 80. At least they could go down to 25 or 12...

Ds2 is dying.
finding lines streaking through the images.... I've swapped memory cards, and camera settings... I fear it is just dying a slow sensor death. Damn. I still like this camera.:(

GPS for Pentax K5, Kr, 645D
It's funny - there was a post on the Big American Camera Forum a few days ago asking if it was possible (via firmware) to use the sensor shift to take astro photos. Lots of the responses suggested that the sensor shift doesn't work this way and therefore it wasn't possible. Seems they were wrong :...

GPS for Pentax K5, Kr, 645D
The Nikon unit is $190 from Adorama. The best function of the Pentax unit is the camera direction record. The GPS will probably plug in via the USB port or even via the hot shoe which rules out use of flash with GPS, (time to fit a grip for the extra battery to cope with the load). You're thinking a...

GPS for Pentax K5, Kr, 645D
Looks like a great little gizmo, and I would like GPS, and even the astro thing would occasionally be fun, but I'm not sure I want it so badly that I'd spend £250 quid on it (presuming the normal 1USD = 1GBP exchange rate holds true :roll:). I do however wonder how much stellar movement the senso...

GPS for Pentax K5, Kr, 645D
Quote: When mounted on the PENTAX K-5 or K-r camera body, the O-GPS1 also offers the advanced ASTROTRACER function,** which couples the unit with the camera’s SR (Shake Reduction) system for the effortless tracing and photographing of celestial bodies. The unit calculates the movement of stars, pla...

if they can do that for astro photography, they could also come up with a device/firmware that allows studio shooters to stack multiple shots in camera with slight pixel shift of the sensor to multiply the resolution of the image file.... Pentax is bound to get some more serious landscape photog...

I find location data of other photographers shots incredibly useful for inspiration of locations. In addition I take a lot of bird photography, knowing exact locations will be a mixed blessing in this instance. Great for the likes of me to view and photograph rarities. Bad because the egg collectors...

I find it interesting that this device can control the sensor position while plugged in via the hotshoe. That suggests there is an API... we just need to discover it 8)

Infrared with K7
Using a Hoya R72 with the Samsung GX-1L (Pentax *ist DS) gives exposures like 1/6th sec at f/3.5 and ISO 400. I used that for my entries in the Mono Landscapes monthly competition. However, using a filter on the lens means composition is tricky, although for the 'Post' shot in my set I discovere...

help with processor type
Thanks Peter - that sounds reasonable to me. I am trying to keep the cost down! I guess I should try and go for the i5 Andy You're welcome. If you buy or build a computer with the right components to do a job efficiently, with the right maintenance (defragging, registry cleaning, etc) it will ...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
Today I was shown a shot (on an LCD screen) of a Kingfisher with a fish in its beak, the guy had zoomed in about 4X on the LCD to almost fill it with the bird before showing it to me, and it looked very sharp! And what bit of miraculous kit did he use? A Bridge Camera with an equivalent focal len...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
Given the advancement in sensor technology and lens design will we eventually see the demise of interchangable lens cameras? Not completely but I foresee there will be far fewer in the future. SLR buyers will still exist but I imagine their numbers will be similar to the number of people who buy lar...

How long before DSLRs become extinct?
DSLRs won't die for a very long time. They are needed for a variety of professional work that an EVF or screen are just not suitable for. After all, we can still buy folding cameras, rangefinder cameras, large format cameras....it takes a very long time indeed for a camera type to disappear. T...
