Same here because I hardly do long exposure photography still how hard is it to have an off function besides on/auto?
I've never understand Pentax doing these things with the DFS, they indeed should have know better.

With Slow Shutter Speed NR turned off, B Mode on my K-7 only goes into a delay (DFS) after the exposure when it was a longer than 30 sec exposure.
The B mode is quite a specialized program mode and not used by many photographer besides for special types of photography.With Slow Shutter Speed NR turned off, B Mode on my K-7 only goes into a delay (DFS) after the exposure when it was a longer than 30 sec exposure.
I think it's safe to assume that people that use the B-Mode know what they are doing so why not give them an option to have it on or off?

The K200D is the last Pentax that you can turn off all DFS.
I use mine for astro work also. It is why I went with it, rather than a newer, higher MP camera.
The only stupid things it that it use CCD sensor and those are more prone to noise at longer exposure compared to the CMOS sensor which Pentax use now The K200D is the last Pentax that you can turn off all DFS.

Surely if it elicits money from the viewer then it should have some merits - if it is experimental then well and good but don`t expect me to waste my pensioner`s discounted seat price and £4.50 for the popcorn to find out.
I do agree with that it's a good film to rent once and watch quietly at home but not one you should buy or see in the cinema.Surely if it elicits money from the viewer then it should have some merits - if it is experimental then well and good but don`t expect me to waste my pensioner`s discounted seat price and £4.50 for the popcorn to find out.
The cinema is to distracting I believe and if you've seen it once then there is no use to see it again.

I know what you mean, there aren't a lot of films that are true films and not adaption or an sequel anvh - I`m not sure on that one as I write - there is a school of thought that says some of the Philip K.

Also most of the big Hollywood films think they need to put a lot of special effect in it and all to make it interesting to the audience
Film has lost his magic in a way or you need to look away from the mainstream and you do find some pearls then.

Like it or loath it, at least the Blair Witch Project was interesting from a concept/cinematography point of view.[quote:3496ace15f="TOZZA27"]The Blair Witch Project - don`t tell me that was a good film !!
For me the worst films are the inexcusibly bland ones.
I said interesting in terms of concept and cinematography, which I believe it was as it was unlike anything I've seen before, but has influenced films after it (such as Cloverfield).
I would much rather a film try something new and fail than stick to a tried and trusted formula and STILL fail.[/quote]I'll go with you Robbie.

Tim glad to hear I'm not the only one that cried
Yes Grave of the Fireflies is an adult film but My Neighbor Totoro can been seen by kids though around 8 years sounds right but most other Ghibli's are 12+ years films since they go quite a bit deeper then your standard Disney ones.
Robbie Battle Royale was entertaining to watch and the story had potential.
Throw a school class on a island and let them kill each other for the name of sport where only one can survives.
But really the entertaining value was laughter and not really the shock or horror it should have been, at least for me
TOZZA27 was there ever really a film that surpassed the book?

Huh? Perhaps one is the 'actual' aperture and one is the aperture as seen by the camera.
