Digital printing
I enjoy printing my best photos on a dedicated photo printer and when I get it right the results are amazing. My printer is an Epson Surecolor SC400 with 8 cartridges and my indulgence is fine art paper. However like anyone here who does printing knows there are issues which can be frustrating, most...

End of an Era?
I have just watched a YouTube of a professional saying how wonderful his Sony is - if you avoid the opaque menu, set four or five anonymous buttons to function how you want, keep blowing dust off the sensor and hope the weather sealing works, as well as tape the lenses so the aperture ring doesn’t a...

Too Far For Me To Travel...But
Red Kites are a more interesting and creative topic - you may be disclosing classified info on the B52 tack... You've got some dust on your sensor there.

Camera advice.
Hi, I am in the market for a camera to use with M42 Lens. Have several M42 lens of various focal length that are leftover from My days of Film Takumar, Pentacon, Carl Zeiss Jana etc. Plus more recent acquisitions Helios and others. Current cameras being Nikon that have limitations on M42 Infinity fo...

Camera advice.
The K5 is still a good camera and many swear by the image quality from that 16MP sensor. The only thing I'd mention is that I believe the K-5 does not have focus peaking, whereby the areas with highest contrast (and therefore most in focus) are highlighted in a specific colour in live-view. For th...

pentax sigma
Can you get lenses converted? If the lens is designed specifically for asp-c and produces an image circle that is too small for the FF sensor then the answer is no. Some lenses (like the Pentax DA* 60-250), have the optical ability to produce a larger image circle but was prevented from doing so ...

mobile phone camera problem
ePHOTOzine, the sister site to this one, carries reviews of smartphones, so you might find something of interest over there. Personally I use a Pentax MX-1 for carrying everywhere and it still offers great quality despite only having a 12MP sensor. Or have you decided it must be a smartphone?

Ricoh CFO: “The time has come for us to choose which businesses to be in”
As I have said many many times before I have seen doomsayers saying Pentax is dead since the mid-1980s. I do think Ricoh have to put a stop on the subtle changes and special editions and offer current users a tantalising prospect of future upgrades, ie those K-1 users who might want something new...

New film camera anyone ?
Perhaps "new film products" could include impossible to get spares for repairs, like Pentax LX seal kits.... (he says, hopefully). Or eyecup specifically for the Z-1/Z-1p. Would be better for Ricoh to give K-3 and K-1 line users are clear vision of what to expect. A lot of us have a lot of mon...

New film camera anyone ?
If the K3 III and K1 II users find their current cameras are sufficient for their needs, why is it necessary for them to know what future cameras may be in the pipeline? Photography has always been gear-obsessed, but I fail to see why a new camera every year is a must. Well said and Im hoping tha...

A New Approach to Mirrorless for Pentax?
I don't know anything about Mirrorless cameras, but I watched a Youtoob fella with one who was cursing his for always getting sensor dust spots, said they are like "magnets for dust these Mirrorless cameras". :)

Digital Cameras Back In Fashion?
More like the realisation has dawned:roll:, that cool an hip film processing ain't as cheap as Digital:D:D:D So its now, "Surreal is my ancient digital sensor, its so cool, join and subscribe an hit the like button" Absolutely nothing wrong with older digital sensors may I add, but a new trend wi...

camera for left (single) handed
My wife has the use of only one hand, and it's the left. She uses an old Pentax Optio MX. This camera has a rotating grip. She rotates the grip 180 deg. and uses it upside down with her left hand. Given the low res. of that camera, there is no way to get a decent A3 size picture with it, but it'...

Mobile Phone Cameras...
I'm not sure if we already have a thread on this type of topic but I think it needs discussing. My mobile phone has all but negated my need to carry a DSLR with me. With four lenses available it covers most FLs I'll be using, but that really isn't the killer feature - the AI processing is a huge ...

K5 Replacement/Equivalant
One of my favourite features in the K3ii is the convenience of built in geotagging. Knowing the precise location of one's landscape photos is a feature that I really enjoy. It works well in Lightroom and I have seen it in other programmes. For me this is the main advantage over the original K-3 be...

Your most used accessories?
ND Filters which I always wish to use more along with the tripod, but laziness often kicks in about lugging them around. I guess the most used accessory and already mentioned is the Lenspen, perfect for dusting down kit and cleaning the front element.

None dirty word astro!
This was not taken by a Pentax, but.... Instead this was taken with a cooled Deep Space Object Dedicated Camera, a ZWO ASI183MC Pro. It has a 1in 4/3 sensor at 20mp and 2.4um pixel size. I traded in a couple of Pentax bodies I haven't used in months, and an unused EQ mount.... because for what t...
