It's Black People will confuse it with an APS-C model

I heard a rumour that Pentax had listened to the moans that people never see any Pentax cameras on the street and they were going to make the FF White with Red Polkadots so other Pentax users would see it!

They are the same as most others at about 38.7mm wide, but made to a much higher tolerance of flatness and smoothness so they need good clamps to stop them sliding. Some of the Chinese clamps leave a lot to be desired. I have one on a pano head that won't hold any rail tight enough unless I tighten the the thumbscrew with a piece of leather wrapped round it to give me extra grip. I rarely use that now because I don't trust it. I replaced it with a Novoflex one.

The Novoflex clamps are a special quick type and hold solid without too much force and release quickly.

I'd just fit a normal Quickmount to the 1/4" or 3/8" screw....

A pano head would be better, but more expensive....

You have to pretend that you live in another country.... and you only buy off Amazon using Green Shield Stamps!

There are reports of focussing problems on other mounts as well as Pentax

It's not a problem for Pentax users they don't buy lenses to take photographs

See.....

Intel CPU's perform much better than AMD on Lightroom and Photoshop. It would be a much bigger boost than more RAM...

I've got an SSD, but I'm happy with a 2.5" 1gb 7200rpm Hitachi as the main drive almost as fast.

Some people have reported a massive increase in their PU posts after switching to SSD

Amazon aren't exactly the flavour of the month around here

You would have thought that they would have at least offered a discount off our next orders.

Cancelled!!! Not to bothered as long as they don't get them in stock again

Not received a lens yet ........ but ........ I did get a big Tax Refund and don't have to pay any tax next year!

Dimensions - 399x600
Width - 399 pixels
Height - 600pixles
Horizontal and vertical - 300 dpi
Bit depth 24

It's already 300 DPI so that's OK.

If 399 x 600 pixels isn't BIG enough you won't be able to make it any bigger without a big loss in quality. In which case re-editing the original is the only choice.
