hmmm how many times did it go wrong?
it's probable a number of 1 in the millionth time if ti isn't more... ridiculous though.

If you know what not to do with an aircraft you can easily let it crash with some duck-tape so who are we kidding here?
I'm referring to the crash that was caused because someone taped off the static ports because they were cleaning the aircraft but forgot to take them off.

Most Dutch probable know the television program Undercover.
It's about a guy that goes Undercover and try to expose some horible things here in the Netherlands, Drugs, dealing with illegal weapons, animal sex... just to give you some examples.
He had one episode were he tried to get on Schiphol were the aircrafts are parked and docked(Amsterdam airport).
He went in with a fake ID and his rugsack didn't even got checked, he walked right in and even got inside the aircraft themself.
If he can do that then why not someone else?

I know security is needed but they most of the time are looking at the wrong place. With other public transports we don't have those safety checks so why do we have them with aircrafts?
Ramming a cruiship against the statue of liberty would also be world news!

The lens is very decent just wait a month and you can get the weather sealed version.

you do have a Tamron 70-300 I see, wont know if it's worth it though. It's pretty much the same but there are less aberration with the DA 50-200.

In the end it might be a better idea to sell the tamron and lay a bit more money with that and get a DA 55-300, the most loved lens in that range.

Pentax have raised the price on their lenses by quite a bit now... it might be worth hanging it on for a month more or so since second hand prices will probable get higher aswell.
Just something to think about.

have another question since we are talking about memory cards.
Is the DNG compression improved or are they still largely bigger then PEF?

Seems you're doing it good though.
The things you can do are in this order:
- AV mode with the lowest f-number, get closer so you dont need to crop and time your photo.
- use an higher iso if needed.
- get a lens with a lower f-number if nothing helps.

But to be honest the photo really doesn't look bad, the face looks sharp and there is some blur in the arms but i wouldn't want that sharp personally, sport is movement after all.

hmmm they told me they would look into it for you on Wednesday, maybe sending a new email might help... sometimes
They are good people though but busy.

There really isnt a thing take make one better then the other I think, go with your own instinct on that because I dont dare to say a thing about that.

Thank you Danny that was all I needed to know.
We also have a camcorder we hardly use but still miss it sometimes but to handle a camcorder and camera

The camcorder might only be used 30 minutes so not worth taking with me

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Seems like no brand wants the make the perfect camera


Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet.

So why worry about that the Pentax isn't that advance we know it will still work over 5 years


Pentax may only have 10% of the market, but it is clearly the top 10%.

Couldn't agree more

Indeed but a mild rain, drizzle should be a problem.
I'm wonder what the current there runs over the SDM, if it's only low water shouldn't be a problem... well it isn't good of course but you wont fry the thing instantly

Well i do hope it for us though... i can make a profit selling it secondhand
