They look lovely Yves and I'm sorry for your lost, it's hard to lose a dog.
I'm however really in love with the Saarloos so it would take a lot to take my mind from that.

Well you could fit it on your Canon with an adapter if you don't sell it.

I'm still trying to figure out how good the bokeh is of the lens...
edit: found out and it isn't what I was looking for but still looks like a very interesting lens though.

I wonder if one could skip the intermediat step and just contact print or expose photo paper in the darkroom off an lcd monitor? or use a digital projector instead of film in an enlarger?
Here you are. This is the way to make real darkroom prints of your digital files.(card)
That's the same way all the other "imaging" devices work, also the professional that Mowog talked about so I ain't sure what Don really means???

I think you could even adapt a normal projector but I think the resolution isn't high enough...
I think the cheapest would be to print on transparent paper and use a normal film enlarger or use it as a contact sheet to get it on film or don't you think that will work?

Just wondering how many of you have a calibrated screen so therefore this poll.
With calibrated I mean with a machine and not by eye.

Could it be the chip in the sigma lens?
How to tell? what to do about it?
Contact Sigma, they might be able to tell by series number what chip is in it and if it needs an upgrade/replacement for it to be compatible with the newer Pentax cameras.
I don't know who pays the bill.

Instead of Pentax making sure the lenses fit, Sigma makes sure the Lenses fits the camera that's why older lenses sometimes does not work correctly.

here is something on flickr about it http://www.flickr.com/groups/sigma_lenses/discuss/72157606282211513/

here is the contact information for Sigma.

The thing is your lens seems to work okay so I think something else is going on, you could check you exif data if the lens focal length and that sort of thing show up properly.

They will work with some limitation like that you can use only centre Af point for trap in focus and things like that and the metering might not work fully reliable and you might see some aberrations on your photo because the rear lens isn't coated.
But you can still make perfect photos with them so don't worry

here is a compatibility chart http://www.mosphotos.com/PentaxLensCompatibility.html

Also there is a 1.5x crop view so your lenses will appear 1.5x longer then on film but don't forget focal length stays the same it's just that the view is more cropped.

There are several ways to get Digital on film, like you said it use an image device and film, but you can use lasers, LEDs or even a CRT.
But you can also make (print) a contact sheets and work from there, I believe.

I've never done anything of this so don't ask me any details

If it has a K-mount it will fit, it's a simple as that and you can get some adaptors like M42 screw-mount to the k-mount.

The Pentax M 50mm f/1.7 will work very well on the K7 but you need to use the K7 in manual mode but you can press the green button to preform a stop-down metering, it's like Av mode on command.

I don't know what mounts the other lenses are so I can't comment on that.
