Just like a Ferrari is really a FIAT except
FIAT are wise enough to stay invisible

Well the Mirror is better in front of you so you can see
any togs behind nicking your shots!

Make sure you have the SUN in the right position (i.e. over your shoulder).
So that your subject has a nice smile and doesn't look glum in the
photo get them to say.... "gorgonzola cheese souffle" as you take
the shot!... Saying "Truprint" also works.

These look good, but you need to edit your post and put
at least one blank line between each shot by pressing
the ENTER KEY on you PC.

It looks like there has been a big improvement in the in
camera processing software, particularly the sharpening.

The parrot is....
1(Fine SharpnessON)
also ....
Custom images Reversal Film

No Contrast tweak though.

RAW's are probably the same.

In camera processed JPG's Full Size. various lenses.

If the results are as sharp as the parrot shot, I'm selling
my K-5 and getting a K-50

No need for FF either

The only use for a DOF Lever is it gives people something
to moan about if the camera hasn't got one ......
Bit like a Tilt Control

I wonder about names such as Polaroid (on cheap products)
and Kodak (on batteries) It's probably someone just licensing
the name Will we see Pentax batteries in Pound Shops

It happened with Miranda once a great camera company
now used on cheap products in Curry's

Looks good. I would have gone for that if I'd seen it.
It won't be too bright on the FLOOD setting. Twice the
weight, but takes AA batteries. About 3 inch longer.

I wonder why their prices are lower than the ebay
ones? They have the HL27 Headlamp for £32.... tempting
