I think in Japan it's all done via the Pentax website (or a agent anyway).
I notice on the other Pentax forum that there are people having them made in the colours they require and they are then shipped via a third party. It seems that they are paying an extra $150+ for the options once everything is added to the price.
Yes exactly.
The shop has I believe some demo's of how the colour looks, just like with cars.
You then can fill in what you want and they order it for you.

They are make on special order the "special" camera combinations.
So basicly pentax can wait till they have container full of specially coloured pentax and send that to the EU or other continent meaning you will have to wait maybe a month till you have a camera but it is "special" and the shop does not need to hold stocks.

Around 3 minutes of this clip it goes from 40 centimetre (closest focus range) to almost infinite, so basicly through his whole focus range in half a second. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhXk-YqSPiI

It could easily be the fastest AF lens for Pentax, so does any one knows a faster lens?

Angela if you are too new to PM then Dana is surely too new to PM as well.
What's the limit btw, I thought it was 30 posts?

I can tell you that the DA40 is an AF speed demon and the bokeh is a bit smoother then the DA35 at normal focus distance but the DA35 can do true 1:1 macro so that's also worth something and they would both offer you something different compare to the sigma 30mm f/1.4

Done with the Photoshop script now, it automaticly even agilne them so all very easy to do and the result is even better.

These are no 1:1 pixel crops, no resizing done by PUF

Who said ISO800 was noisy with the K10D?

Here are the full sized files, original has the metadata.

That's a surprise Peter, will show it to you over some minutes since there is a whole script in photoshop that works better then what I did there manually and I will upload the results but first I need to eat since dinner is ready.

Here is a site that explains where it is in Photoshop but there are far more options which I still need to find out what they do.

Richard you answered your own question, it isn't a Micro USB since it doesn't apply to the standards set by USB.
It's as simple as that.

@Road Dancer
Som do are combinable though while being proprietory.
HTC have a slightly different connector for their products but the female connectors in the phone still supported Mini-USB.

Here Jack, I did the normal averaging to reduce noise.
Simply a test and I had the TV turned one so the white balance is different with both and the tripod wasn't 100% sturdy either but you clearly see a difference though.

You can click on them for full size
Suggestion would be to open them in different tabs and simply switch between the two to see the difference, it's quite large.

@Peter.
I think you can use multiple copies but it would have the same effect as pulling hard on the exposure so the effect isn't so great.
When you have multiple seperate photos the noise of all of them would be different so if you stack those that would be average out and that's why I believe you can end with a good long exposure photos make out of shorter exposures.


@Jack
Thank you but like said not what I'm looking for

The thing I don't see Hoya/Pentax do is invest in a market that isn't doing so well at the moment and try to support 3 lenses ranges where they need to build up two. Maybe when they have the 645 in order then they could do a 35mm series but now I think they should put all their affords in getting back their good name in MF land.
