The London branch of CameraWorld does stock some Pentax kit, it's near Oxford Street at the TCR end.

He He, I don't anymore either Matt, using exactly your setup but an awful lot of my fellow landscapers do, and frown upon me for saying I don't need em, then tell me I can't be taking it seriously!

You're not! You need at least £250 worth of Lee filters to begin to be credable!

And as for Techniques like HDR and exposure bracketing....

Really, they must just be envious of your lack of visible filter line!

Would a digital FF limit the blown whites that are so apparent on the 135mm digital!

This shows that 35mm film still has some edge over digital APSC!

unless of course the F/F has some gizmo which crops the sensor to APS-C and allows use of DA lenses.

Not unreasonable as I think a crop on a 24MP sensor would give 16MP.

I believe that is is about 60 years since the first 'Pentax' 35mm SLR rolled of the production line! The Asahiflex was 1952.

A fullframe digital camera would be a great way to mark that milestone aniversary!

You can see this being a digital 'LX'.

This was the camera 'announced' on the 01/04/2012 - there have not been any changes to the specification or the picture since then!

Interesting to note that in 1988 or 89 when I purchased my 50mm f1.4 A it cost me a staggering £100! The 50mm f1.2 A was £200 - I passed on that!

I only use the IR remote. On the K10D it was not any good for long exposures, however with settings on the K7 for one press to open shutter and one press for closing it again.

Also, on a tripod, there is the 2 second mirror lock up on IR remote, so a cable release has never been a part of my DSLR kit.

Only problem I have ever had was when I'm at the side of the camera and the IR receive on the front or back of the camera cannot 'see' the IR Remote.

If you purchased from a Pentax Pro dealer, such as SRS, then I would contact them regarding a warrantee repair.

That sounds a little like Apple marketing! I suspect most people buy the iPhone because it's an iPhone, not because it has a camera.

It is also worth noting that a camera phone with an f2.4 lens will still be reasonably sharp from front to back on a count that the lens is so wide angle.

Also, my phone is a reasonably capable 12MP camera with full HD video.

Fuji have obviously picked up on the Pentax Q's capability!
