Depends how far away the ceiling is...

Yeah I saw but as the comment was posted over a year ago and with the explosion of the tablet market I thought I'd ask him anyway...
Will update if/when I recieve a reply...

NB.

For those who are unaware of the existence of PK-Tether see:

http://www.pktether.com/

It is unsupported by Pentax (or indeed anybody else) and is run purely by Tomasz himself as he saw a need for tethering software that is no longer provided for Pentax cameras.

Hi...

I've emailed Tomasz to ask about the possibility of an app-version of PK-Tether for Android tablets...

Obviously one of the main issues of this is that many Android tablets have little or no physical inputs... But there are a few that do...

I personally believe that tethering to android could be incredibly useful in various situations but as I've said in my email to Tomasz 'I'm no programmer'...

Do any of you guys (with more technical expertise than myself) see any issues or limitations to the development of a PK-Tether type app for android?

Is it simply a bad idea?

Cheers
Dave

You and me both!! (on all counts...)

They come up on ebay fairly regular from Japanese sellers (set search parameters to worldwide) but looking at between £400 and £600... I've been in the unlucky position that I've as yet not had the cash at the time (poor organisation on my part).

The reviews on the 'other forum' are favourable...

Bradford camera Exchange develop negs and scan to cd for a fiver...

Is the Fuji at Aldi 'superior'?
I got some Kodak from poundland... Waste of a quid imo...

Pretty much all right there... I even bracketed to make it clear (a common literary device)

You could (and I imagine you won't) do something really very diferent...

There's a 3rd way out of the corner for the K-r...

You could 'give' it to somebody... Somebody who will use it... Love it and make good use of it...

There are many struggling artists, photography students or just people who really 'need' something to do who's lives could be dramatically changed for the better with the gift of a digital SLR...

Someone you know or just a random kid browsing/drooling over used cameras in the window of a local store...

I agree... You should not let it go for a low price... Not when you could change a life with it... But leaving it to rot in a corner, to go mouldy... That's no life for a camera, and certainly not a Pentax...

I'm photographing a local band as they shoot a music video... various locations in Bfd and Leeds... Will have a few posed portraits buy mainly documenting the process of the video shoot...

FUN

I'd like to see the green button and ISO button swap places and see the addition of a permanent and fully integrated vertical grip
