Lightroom & black & white
Hi Thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in this subject. To the RAW & Jpeg solution: There is already a solution by using the Pentax utilities that gets the image as interpreted by the camera into a TIFF or Jpeg file. Also I assume that the RAW image is also saved. I've tried to get t...

Lightroom & black & white
Presets are very easy to make in lightroom. Just open a photo in develop window, do the developing you want to save (auto's also work but will save the auto action not the values that come from it) Then on the left where you see the history you also see the window presets. Simply click on the +...

Lightroom & black & white
Hi I love B&W shots. However I can't see any reason to shoot in B&W ( in camera ). I just convert to B&W in Lightroom or Silver Efex pro when I see a shot that looks like it will work in monochrome. Is that not a workflow that suits you? I've been doing that in digital for at least 4-5 years...

Underwater Photography
I've taken my K200D underwater quite a few times, there's ay least one picture in "My Portfolio". The most important thing when taking photographs underwater is to get as little water between you and the subject. That means as short a focal length lens as you can get your hands on. Most import...

Underwater Photography
Having been heavily into underwater photography a while back, mainly video but also have 2 underwater stills cameras - one digital and one film, some comments from experience: - go for a wide angle prime, eg 20mm on film, or 12 to 16mm on digital. You want to minimise the distance between you and...

Venturing into the World of primes
The advantage of a dedicated macro is that you get greater control over focus and how much magnification to apply. With the filter on the FA77 I have a smaller magnification range through the, ahem, "limited" focus throw. The FA77 is significantly smaller (270g / 64mm) than the DFA100 (345g / 81m...

Pentax KX
puma, good summary! On the cons, I will make a few comments. * Image stabilization is only On or Off; doesn't have panning mode * Image stabilization indicator in viewfinder does not show amount of I.S. applied True of all Pentax SR, but at least you get SR in the body, as you poi...

Official K-5 specs !!!
I've just come back from a week in the Lake District, and there was a lot of bright cloud about. In many cases, bracketing like crazy, it was impossible to get anywhere close to usable exposure for the hills without burning out great swathes of sky. It drove me nuts. I'd like to point out that thi...

What microphone for video?
every type of mic has it's pros and cons. noise cancelling mics are probably best avoided for most novices. here is why.. expense, and quality... for some types of eng or environments they are fine. But with either electronic trickery or out of phase dual mics the noise canclling cons are lower...

What microphone for video?
... depends just how portable you need / intend to be. I'm happy with the H2 and find it delivers a quality that we also use "professionally" - I will check, but I know that the guys who did the "brain" video knew all about the H2 - and for that, which is probably well-described as 'decent video...

What microphone for video?
There were some comments about a 150Hz filter on the Olys. It is true for the first model (LS-10) but the latest two have improved this. Now a non-issue unless you are spending several grand on mics that don't also roll off the bottom two octaves. In which case you would not be using a hand recorder...

Should I get the K-r?
Should you get the KR? In a word, yes! I'm biased as a Pentax fan and haven't tried the KR but it's a great spec and it has already had great reviews. You've probably looked at the SRS site already but the KR page has said "stock expected October 2010" for a few weeks now so it must be availab...

Bike race camera/lens conundrum
I liked your Kayak photos on the Sigma Lens thread. If you see my subsequent posts, I bought the DAL 55-300 on Ebay.

Replacing A Lost Hood
I lost a hood and, like you, was astonished at the replacement cost. Mine was for an 18-55 and in the end bought a lens plus hood on eBay for less than the cost of a Pentax hood, then resold the lens at a very small profit. Obviously this wont happen with the 16-45. As an interim measure I ...

Sensor cleaning
ChrisA wrote Me too. Got them from cameraclean.co.uk. This family-run business also trades under the name of 'Just' and is located less than 10 miles from where I live. They also sell pre-wetted swabs which, depending on the size of sensor to be cleaned, can cost up to £37.00 for 12. Whilst this ...

Pentax KR
Here's a link to the EPZ review ; http://www.ephotozine.com/article/Pentax-Kr-14989 One interesting result shows that the Infra Red blocking filter over this sensor may not be as strong as on previous Pentax DSLRs. Hmmm interesting :) A bit sad that ephotozine just reviewed the DA 18-250 while...

K5 Price at Mifsuds
Sheer Coincidence, but these guys also have about the best prices on Lee filter stuff that I've been able to find by googling around. Not that anyone has any actually in stock though :p.
