After much fretting and thought I have decided to go full frame so all my gear will be up for sale, due to the financial strain of this I will be selling my kit off slowly as I replenish my kit with the other brand and duplicate bits of kit I no longer need.

Pentax K-01 Price inc RMSD £160

Never used for professional use merely hobby use and seen very very little use. Has the flappy sd card cover as they all have and the battery is a Hama branded one for SRS which is as good if not better than the Pentax battery and the charger is an OEM one. Complete with box, strap, instructions cd etc...





















Metz 48 af-1 Flashgun £50 inc RMSD

Boxed with instructions.

Missing the front red piece and the metal foot locking pin sometimes stays down so turning upside down and a wobble usually frees it hence the low price. Intro 2020 said the replacement red front is around £20 but I never really noticed any difference in use without it so never bothered replacing it.


















Pentax SMC F 50mm f/1.4 £230 inc RMSD

I've owned this beautiful piece of glass for around five years and have always found it focuses spot on with k-5 mmii and the k-01. This highly rated lens receives better ratings than the newer FA version.

Optics are mint, no scratches, fungus or haze etc, body does show some very minor marks from use, comes with OEM front and rear cap and a rubber hood.

Here you go, this is the flickr contract basics I imagine the Getty contributor contract will be roughly the same, I know my corbis contract is very very similar.

Bump for the tokina

When I shoot weddings abroad I take a netbook and external hard drive.

Card backed up to netbook
Card copied to ext drive

This gives me three back ups card, netbook, ext drive

When I'm on holiday I take a couple of 16 gig cards and no computers or hard drives, I go on holiday to get away from all that tech malarkey

The main problem is the compositions and the heads in the way. You eked the subjects to look at you together. Your subjects will either want to purchase your photos or share them on Facebook so the subjects need to look their best.

To gain experience just pop into your local club with some friends and have a go, the club will think you're just a punter taking shots of your friend

I've posted some club shots on the forum before so I'm sure a search will bring them up

Hi keir

I shoot in a club and what you have to remember when shooting for a club is they want you to make the club look full, fun, lively and the people hot, sexy and having a great time. A lot of these shots just don't do this, to many late night drunken people with heads in the way and lots of empty space.

Offering free is also not a good idea all that happens is the club use you for free and once the free offer is over will wait for the next freebie. Sorry it's a tough business to charge for so you need to be really greasy and get a client that understands what quality photography can do for his business.

And when has Pentax ever stuck with convention thinking 31mm 43mm 77mm etc...

I'm sure i read somewhere that the 400mm zooms become a 380mm when the focussing is taken into account making a difference to the actual focal length. Although i could be wrong..

Tokina 100-300mm back for sale again

And sigmas pricing will irrelevant to Pentax pricing.
