But every-bodies level of common sense is different. A logical approach would be er more logical...

but angular portraits are so dynamic & modern...

I would have definitely asked number 6. Don't be afraid to ask mist people are surprised when asked to have their picture taken and are usually willing.

I recently did a little project to photograph 35 people and had one knock back...

No it doesn't but I imagine building those limited editions would have been expensive to make, thats a wide range for a limited edition range...

Hmm & whilst I was reading the Independant today I saw this




Looks like the cashback offer has saved Pentax Ricoh a fortune in advertising, looks a good move to me...

Pentax have just anounced on facebook that the k-r limited edition colours will be available exclusively on walmart.com in pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, navy, metallic brown, gold and silver. That doesn't sound like an end to production does it???

As for lack of Pentax advertising, they have just been taken over by Ricoh so i am guessing marketing budgets & planning needs to be discussed with the new owners. A marketing campaign doesn't just happen overnight.

Pentax has recently carved out itself a niche market in outside pursuit type photography & looks like being a good niche to aim for. If a camera is good for rugged outdoor use it will handle a lot of bad treatment.

As for not seeing many Pentax cameras at press calls etc, the majority will be Nikon as the major news & photo agencies are backed by Nikon. So when a photo journalist needs a 600mm lens then a quick call to Nikon will result in a loan. I am not sure about canon as I don't see many dealings with the big agnecies with them. Canon users tend to be owned by freelance agency togs...

Here is Getty photographer Ian Gavans kit for the VMA Awards this year supplied by Nikon now if Pentax could supply half those lenses they would make some headway but shows just exactly what the company is up against & why they need to focus on smaller niche markets.

Well ITV1 must be doing something right 12% increase in advertising revenues

So much negativity all because a dealer says a model has been discontinued. There will hardly be a struggle to buy a new k-r they will be around for months.

As for new models they have just launched the q range.... hardly a company about to go down the pan is it????
