Yeah I'm probably to "dry" for that kind of humour
If you want to stick with Pentax though just buy a K 8.4/2.8 Fish-Eye then you don't have to worry about focus speed of any kind, let alone focusing at all.
Don't think any other brand has such a type of focus?

The first one for me.
The shot contains more variation and the composition is better and the orange chimney is true element in the photo where as with the other photo it's not something catching your eye as important.

hmmm who said it should be a street photograph or even a photo of a stranger?
The perfect solution for those people afraid to make a photo of someone else is to make a self portrait

As for HP, my biggest complaint is the drivers or lack of proper ones since the upgrade to Apple's Snow Leopard. I have been able to find generic ones, but the performance of the printers has crawled to a painful experience.
As for the Epson printers, I have not had any issues in over five years of use.

Seems I'm not the only one struggling with the HP drivers, and the installation is quite cumbersome with all those steps.Anvh wrote:

Oh, I had one Canon printer just once. It lasted a whole year and a month, the quality was so-so, the cartridges did not last long and were not cheap, and finally went completely down about a month out of warranty. Never again for that brand.ps. seems you haven't used a Canon printer before from your comment above.

Sorry about your experience about Canon we have 3 canons in the direct family (me, my father and my mother) and haven't had any problems with them hardware or software wise *touches the wood*

Couldn't it be that the inkt dried in your printer head and obstruct it?... our DX6000 is good but the inks magically dry up after a year. They're full for a while - and we use the printer rarely - and then, one day, they're empty.

Yeah but those also have their problems... perfect solution would be to buy the best camera and lens for every specific situation and type of photo... you probably will end up with 18 bodies and 96 lens if not more, but hey, you would always have the best gear for the job... if you didn't leave it at home RichardDay wrote:

Alternatively just buy a Nikon or Canon .... (runs and hides). Yes!

This new law is aimed at all those millions of pictures as a possible free source to use. Knowing a lot of the rightful owners don't have a clue about ITPC and all that stuff that helps prevent (notice I say helps and not insures) theft.
The moment you decide to go public with your pictures (on the web) you have a responsibility to yourself and to all the photographers around the globe who take their work seriously to take adequate measures in protecting it.
Fully agreed with that but still it's theft though, maybe not under UK law but it should be under Dutch law so what then, that's what I'm asking?This new law is aimed at all those millions of pictures as a possible free source to use.

As a side note with Flickr or Facebook it's easy to find out which the owner of the photo is or atleast know one who knows who the copyright owner might be so a photo from those sites would be no excuse.
... To be honest it's hard to find a site that would fall fully under the law, certainly the photography/image/art orientated sites you need to have an account to upload an image.

The K-X is very picky with his batteries and the latest updated solved this problem a bit. link Read the instruction and download the file, with the downloaded file you find instructions how to install it, it's quite easy to follow the instruction so don't be afraid.

Same thoughts about their DSLR camera's, they simply aren't make for me but the printers are very decent at least so far as I used them and I know some other members using them with pleasure.Sorry Stefan, I can't bring myself to buy anything with the brand name of "Canon".
I had quite some driver problems with HP so won't get one of those, never tried Epson though but they do seem to be very good although you need to be careful not to mix the different brands of inkt.
By the way, just saying I don't use anything with the name "Canon" says truly nothing, please tell us why you don't.

mainly older models that have been updated to include IS in the lens.
Are there already tests about if Sigma's lens OS is better then Pentax's build-in SR?
