So long as it doesn't have too much of an effect on prices for used/previously owned/whatever items...


Some of us weren't rich even before Brexit!

Meanwhile, back at the thread's purpose...

ePHOTOzine gives it five stars for everything.

The only things they didn't like were : auto white balance could be better, no built in flash-unit, USB 2 / UHS-I (not 3 and II respectively) and slow live view shutter response and focus

And it wasn't even John Riley doing the review!

Or...

...carefully cut the Pentax logo from one of the straps that came with your collection of Pentaxes and sew it* on the front of a plain black baseball cap?





* or possibly get your mum/significant other/a professional to do it for you...

A great image Alan. I can only imagine what the mouse thought as the flash fired. "what the fl*sh was that"?

Best regards
I vaguely remember reading a long time ago that some animals aren't too bothered by flash as they assume that it is lightning.

Of course, the idea may be wrong or outdated.

Am I the only one who misread the thread title as Brands Hatch Histrionics and expected pictures of racing drivers having hissy-fits with each other?

Thank you.

For really large amounts of DoF I have my pocket camera (P*n*s*n*c LF1)
or even the X-5 I still have lying around...

Well, with the combination of my 'problem' with DoF as mentioned in my Something Different - Flowers* thread in Your Photos and the much heralded arrival of the K-1, I found the recent post on the Online Photographer Blog concerning the advantages of crop sensors when you need more DoF amusingly ironic.






* I DO wish one of the mods would correct that thread title. Please?

Bearing in mind that the 'material' is several sheets from a long roll of kitchen towel...

I did try to find pale grey crepe paper in various hobby/toy shops, but it seems to be the one colour they don't do. Strange.

Another option would be to dig out my old f1.7 smc Pentax-A 50mm lens, see how that goes...

Oh, and the thread title should be "Something Different - Flowers" - if any passing mod feels like correcting it...
