A very good little camera to carry with you as it always comes in handy as you never know what your going to see

This weeks "Amateur Photographer" poll has 16% of people having shot film in the last month. I probably use film 80% of the time as I find it fun, and the digital camera almost entirely reserved for work images. I was about to write a long critique of comments made in ignorance but then I realised that it what I do at work and I cannot be bothered here!

Luckily (for me) the film section of the US Pentax forums is quite lively unlike here.

I've shot 4 rolls in the last 2 months, just need to develop them. Normally use the spare bedroom but we have been busy decorating upstairs

I don't find the lack of a viewfinder a problem, in bright Sun light you have to shade the screen as John suggested but 95% of the time there is no issue.

The movable screen allows you to get some very interesting low down prospective shots.

I've used the Pentax DA16-45, DA50-200 and Sigma 10-20 F3.5 24-70 F2.8 and 150-500 on my K3. It's only the DA50-200 which shows it's weakness when you zoom in to view the image, I have found it needs to be stopped down to get good results. The others work well, I was very supprised how well the 16-45 works give the age of design.

The MX-1 punches above it weight with the images it produces I am realy pleased with mine. This image was taken in the dark at Disney Land Paris and processed to B&W in the camera. It was a long exposure just held against a post!

Thanks, just searched on Google and it looks like there are some issues with Pentax cameras and DNG formats. Just have to stick with Silkypics that came with the camera for a bit longer or have a look at GIMP!

Just downloaded a free copy of DxO Opitics Pro 7 Elite from the offer in Practical Photography but I cannot open the DNG raw files from my K3 am I doing something wrong or is it not comparable ?
