You have a bracket button on the back of the camera, left of the view finder. It looks like 3 screens, intwine in each other (more or less).

If you press that button and you see the top LCD changes, with the front scroll wheel you set the numbers of shot (3 or 5) and with the back the ev spacing between each shot.

Good news for you two then, they already have recorded an image by using someones eyes so maybe when you do get too old to hold a camera you just need to blink to make a photo

edit: typo
Here is a link

Just looked Sam Haskins up and he's still alive.
That I have never heared of him, I must be ashamed of myself.

ps. too bad that Kate wasn't shot with a Pentax

Sounds interesting but it will take some time though before we see the first one of those, if we ever seem them

It's been said on this forum before (and elsewhere) that medium/large format lenes don't have such high resolution as 35mm-format lenses. Doesn't that bother you, Stefan?
Pete, the lenses are made for large film so the circle of confusion is larger then with the more precise lenses needed for the smaller APS-C sensor or 35mm film. Don't worry I've done my homework
These are also primes and most of the time they are much sharper, they might be quite usefull maybe on the K10D if not all the more reason to buy a 67.

Have someone already tried a 67 or 645 lens on digital camera?

Stefan if you do a search for Sam Haskins on Google he was the King of the Pentax 6x7. He produced 15 Pentax Calendars link also a blog link I used to have one of his books Haskins Posters and the quality was unbelievable, all done on a Pentax 6x7. I'm not sure if he's still alive, he would be about 82 now. His official site is link but it shows a date of 1998.

Edit: This is interesting on his blog about Madona ripping off Sam Haskins Cowboy Kate link
Thank you Shim for those links, they sure are amazing.
We have a nude model coming over in a month or so, so they come in handy
The best excuse ever to watch artistic nudes

Ken, I've calculated it as well with the surface and I've the same numbers. 67 is 11 times bigger then APS-C btw

Surely when the lights gets darker the noise of the Fuji will be a lot more compared to the Pentax. Also since you can up the iso higher the shutterspeed goes down which means sharper photos.

Photozone still finds it a good lens in this range, they said "the DA 18-250 is a worthy representative of its species".

Superzooms are really at the limits of what's posable so they won't perform as well as a more specialize lens, that's the price you pay for the range. The 18-55 and the 55-300 will perform better then the 18-250.

Sigma is also coming with a 18-250 but it has HSM which mean hopefully that the focus will be faster, so I don't know how long you can hang out.

Great to hear that Vic, they are quite heavy those lenses but if they perform well it's worth the effort of carry them

Thank you Kris, those shots are surely great.
They have a heavy tripod in the studio which is required for the camera I've readed.

Lets wait what the price is over 7 days, I don't have so much to spend on it.
Hopefully the crack in the LCD display worries people a bit and do I need to go to the shop the get some 120 film

Hi Amin,
I also have big problems with bags, Iwant one where i can carry more then only the camera kit but they just aren't out htere.
I wonder how those nature and mountaineering photographers do it.
Does one one has a idea on that?

Lowe pro has lens bag that will fit on the waist band of bags, are they any good?

I think that you may find the price shoots up nearer to the end and that they become rather more expensive. Most bids tend to be placed towards the end of a listing.
Personally I would buy a lens that will fit now and feel comfortable to hold, but you pays your money and takes your pick.

I think so too but we will see, most go for around the €150+ so they have a bit to go.
All medium format lenses are that big only the 645 lenses are a bit smaller though. Since I do want a camera that fit the lenses there just isn't another way.

If the 67 is usable in the studio then the 200mm would be a fine lens on it. If I can get them for the right price I will be happy.
There is still a shop near by that sell and process the film and since they are one of the last few they are doing great business with that, so it's not likely they will stop.
