Be prepared!
Alongside my Pentax kit I have a Fuji X20 which sees occasional use when I don't want to lug lots of stuff around and I don't mind the limited telephoto end of the zoom range...I bought it second hand for a trip to Prague a couple of years ago. I have also recently bought a Panasonic FZ1000 - 1" sen...

Be prepared!
I lugged my K3 and lenses in my camera bag to Crete last September and even took it to the beach. it seemed a daft idea for a beach holiday. If i hadn't, I doubt i would have pics of Kingfishers. Off back to another part this late June (Historic old Venetian town of Rethymon) Same decision makin...

Be prepared!
For a camera that can be carried with you most of the time, the MX-1 is unlikely to disappoint. If you want to travel lighter than your main kit, but still have a versatile DSLR with you, consider the following:- a Pentax K-S2 fitted with the 18-135 zoom; it is not bulky and weighs in at just about ...

Correct size for reproducing representative technical viewpoint images.
Hi all, I'm having a bit of a nightmare producing some images for a Landscape Visual Impact Assessment. I need to show images which accurately represent the impact of a development. The usual methodology is to use a 50mm lens (on my cropped sensor I am using a 35mm lens giving a 52mm equivalent - a ...

Correct size for reproducing representative technical viewpoint images.
You don't need angle of view and tans. It's just similar triangles. :lol: 300/35 = 8.57 magnification factor so for 23.7 sensor it's 8.57 x 23.7 = 203.1mm Alternative use 297mm A4 paper = 297/23.7 = 12.53x mag. View at 12.53 x 35mm = 438.6mm --

k1 ebay
Dealers here are expecting prices rises soon - the pound buys less for imported goods now and I am told there is a shortage of stock of the K-1 and new lenses due to demand and the earthquake affecting Sony sensor production in Japan.

and the earthquake affecting Sony sensor production in Japan. Perhaps the need to install sensor shift technology.

Id like to buy the K1 But....
It's certainly something you have to consider. I sometimes wonder whether some camera makers discount bodies because they expect to make money on lenses and accessories. I suppose you could use cheaper lenses from the film era at least while you save up for the newer autofocus jobs. That's t...

Id like to buy the K1 But....
I dont want to get into any kind of slanging match here. Im heavily invested in Pentax having been using their equipment since the K100d. I am just pointing out that the lenses which Pentax are releasing are overpriced. The 2 mentioned above with prices are copies of Tamron lenses at double t...

A lens from the past
Yes Chinon were very often ahead of the game and I don't understand why Kodak eventually shut them down??????????????? Well, I know nothing about Chinon, but I do know some things about Kodak. The digital camera was actually invented at Kodak back in the 1970s by an engineer named Steve Sasson. It w...

Medium Format Mirrorless
Now that Hassled & Bladdered have announced their new medium format mirrorless with the 50Mp sensor, I'm wondering if Ricoh are already considering such a move? It represents a huge weight loss over a conventional MF system. Best regards

Looking for my first Pentax camera please help!
Hello and welcome to the forum. You've chosen a good place to start looking at DSLRs :) Megapixels are certainly not the most important feature of a digital camera. These days I wouldn't worry about it at all as all digital SLR and mirrorless cameras have good resolution. There are far more im...

Another consideration is that the K-1 works best with full frame lenses which are expensive whereas the other Pentax models with a smaller APS-C sensor have a wide range of excellent lenses available at much more affordable prices.

K3ii Astrophotography
Hi Paul The problem with long exposures is that any residual light around the viewfinder can get through and onto the sensor. So, eg, if you had a torch on behind the camera whilst you were night shooting, its light would be significantly brighter than what is coming from the sky. There was a thr...

Bags and Cases and Camera Travel
I use Billingham Hadley bags and keep the lens on the camera and the lens facing down. The logic is to minimise lens changes that open the mirror box to dust and to carry the camera so that dust falls off the sensor rather than on it. This requires the purchase of an extra Superflex insert to all...

Possible Phishing alert - New Type - BT landline!
Thanks for the alert. I am sick and tired of the "Microsoft tech" calls, and of the offers of professional oven cleaning, and of "we are not trying to sell you anything - we just want to survey your opinion" etc etc. I deal with the latter by telling them that I charge £200 per hour for giving my ...

K-1 Mk II
As and when the K-1 Mk II arrives, I wonder if it will use the new 42Mp FF sensor that the new Alpha 99 II uses? The indicator just may be if Nikon use the sensor first. The old 24Mp FF sensor as used in the Alpha 99 and D750 although excellent, is probably not on the cards for Ricoh. A Ricoh mirror...
