I think that different cameras have different uses. Nikon have both a D4 with 16MP and a D800 with 36MP. And they upcoming D4X is rumoured to have around 50MP....

As pointed out, there are many characteristics in a camera, the combination of which determines its attractiveness. So what is the future direction Pentax will take for its cameras? They will be the perfect cameras for...... :

Hi, thanks for the link!
I had seen this, but he wants 35$ to ship it. As much as I like my LX, I think 74$ is too much for this.....

Does any one have a spare one of these, or has any idea where I could get one? This is the cap covering the contacts/terminals on the body front.
Thanks!

Yes, i remember. She was from an agency working for Pentax. If I recall correctly she said she would be back......

But the fact that someone representing Pentax got negative comments is no a reason to disappear, on the contrary!
And this Forum is linked on the Pentax UK site, so they should know it exists...

IMO we (and Pentax) are missing an opportunity (and the point)

Global brands are spending millions to sharpen their Social Business capabilities, actively participating in the "customer journey" from selection of a product, its purchase and then its use and support. There is so much information available that allows company to improve their products and customer experience, and smart companies take advantage of that. A negative comment on a product can trigger important information for R&D and an opportunity for customer support to act immediately and turn it into a positive experience.

Now you would expect that a negative comment (or a positive one) on this site would be quickly noticed by Pentax who would respond and address the issue, enhancing loyalty and brand image.

I have noticed that SRS has figured that out, and even with their limited resources Chris responds very quickly to negative feedback addressing issues and complaints, while Pentax is completely absent. That is sad.

I would actually engage Pentax Europe management in this discussion, maybe I'll do that.....

Have a look here, this explains how to remove/install the focusing screen. Maybe from these pictures you can figure it out?

The first one for me, I like the contrast between the building and the windmills

How about giving a call to Sigma service in the UK + 44 1707 329999 or sending them an e-mail on [email protected].

Thanks Alex, it was a pleasure dealing with you. I hope you will enjoy the lens!

Durst B30..... Those were the times.....

I still have it in its original box, although I have not used it for over 25 years! Back then I used it a lot and had lots of fun with it! It was a good basic enlarger, and the maximum I could afford as a student!
