LCD screen protectors
This is the same as all the "UV-filter or not" threads... I personally don't use screen protection... My screen does have a few surface scratches... If I upgrade my K-x will be kept as a second (night missions in rough neighbourhoods) camera, so I'm not overly bothered... If I scratched a lens...

Might have gotten them to work and have made them public if you have the link in picasa. I hope.

How long will your battery last.
I will need to go out one day and switch everything off and see how I get on. I am not very good at hand holding the camera as a lot of my pictures appear blurred. For the long exposures I have a 10 stop ND filter and with live view you can at least see what you are shooting and it will focus as wel...

K5 vs M4/3
Do you ever photograph moving objects, John? Yes, why do you ask? Well, I'm genuinely curious. I'd be the first to agree that, especially with the AF assist light, but also often without it, the AF will certainly lock on sometimes in very dim light, and I've been truly amazed at what it will so...

Stolen K5
Dear All I'm a new member to the forums, only joined a couple of days ago after meeting FrtizTheDog at Bempton Cliffs shooting gannets. I'd rather hoped one of my first posts would be more positive, but I've had a terrible 24Hrs.. Last night I decided to pop out in Beverley to take some shots...

K-R highlight clipping
I have read where some users suggest reducing the in camera contrast setting, but I have not tried that. I do have some clipping from time to time with my K-r (as do many other cameras), but I almost always use full manual mode and adjust the exposure on the fly (similar to what darkskies stated). ...

Chromatic Abberation for RAW Files?
The real reason as I see it for using a setting like Daylight (which is the one I usually use) is to preserve the changing colour quality of the ambient light. If we use AWB all the time, as the colour of the light changes so the system will try to negate that change. So, using Daylight, as I lik...

Circular polariser recommendation
On my 16-45, I use a circular polariser bought off ebay from china brand new for £3.42 and it is excellent! There is absolutely no colour cast and it it does not introduce any softness. It's made of glass and is better than the Hoya circular polariser I bought for one of my other lenses that cost ...

Circular polariser recommendation
Another thumbs-up for the Marumi Super range, which as suggested was bought from an ebay seller from the Far East for about £50. A point worth noting was that when using a standard, or thick framed CPL on the Sigma 18-50, vignetting was visible at 18mm. However this isn't an issue with the Marumi...

ExpoDisc on a Pentax DSLR
I have been less than entirely happy with the amount of fine tuning needed to get White Balance just right, since I've starting shooting on my new K7. I guess that its a software issue as well, but I've become more commited to the pursuit of achieving perfect WB in camera. To this end I experime...

ExpoDisc on a Pentax DSLR
My own experiment seemed to suggest that with the camera WB settings what you see is not necessarily what you get. I am thinking our human eyes are an amazing light interpretation tool - it was obvious that in the cool overcast shooting conditions (not uncommon here in England at present:cry:) what ...

ExpoDisc on a Pentax DSLR
First the WB fine tune. Custom menu C2 - WB adjustable range. Switch this off and the WB will be fixed. Now why Daylight WB. Let's take an extreme example. Suppose we have a red sunset. If we use daylight it will be red. If we use AWB the one colour will make the camera want to compensate and dil...

Am I (we) deluding ourselves?
And on a further note about 'expert' reviews, spotted in 'What Camera' latest issue, on a new Panasonic Lumix model..'it has an internal ND filter to reduce exposure times'. :?
