There's more people than that living in my street

I envy you.

John I can understand choosing DNG instead of PEF in camera, but why convert PEFs into DNGS in the computer, before running them through Camera RAW? That's the bit which seems a step too many to me. I hope Rob can explain. I'm not criticising your work flow Rob, just curious really as to why you do it that way.

Unlocker do you have a Pentax IR remote? They do allow AF but Peter has a third party remote which maybe why he can't use AF.

Hooray! Hopefully we won't have to wait so long for number 4

Edit - you get your post early on a Saturday! I'm lucky if the spotty youth who delivers here on Saturdays arrives by 3 pm . Probably depends on how hard a night he had on Friday
There again I don't get the post during the week until around midday either

Rob, why do you convert PEFs into DNGs first then go to Camera RAW?
I know that when converted to DNGs on the computer they are smaller files, but it seems an unnecessary step in your workflow.

Well nearly.
Wim (Ishpuini) posted this on another forum, having got it from Pentax forums. You can read the thread here : http://tinyurl.com/58p85v

Make sure you see all the photos, including the last one!

I'm glad you have decided to stay Jonathan. I think we were all in a state of shock the first day of the forum change. Let's hope everyone else has stuck it out too.

I see since the arrival of the gallery there are several new members. Pity they seem to only post in the gallery though. I hope they will become active on the forum too.

Found out the possible cause of the delays.
The distributor sends the magazine second class post instead of the airmail we pay for. I've told PentaxDan and he's going to look into it. Hopefully we'll get the next issue a bit quicker.

Mmm, no comment I think - I haven't been following the cricket this summer.
They do help me get to sleep when they tour in the winter though. Nothing like TMS to send one off to sleep in the wee small hours.

PentaxDan said give it until after the weekend then let him know. Hopefully yours will arrive tomorrow Martin.
We have this trouble with a couple of magazines from the UK. We also get Private Eye and that was arriving three to four weeks late, not very useful for a topical magazine! We complained - they blamed Royal Mail - apparently Royal Mail bulk send these things to Germany, and then they eventually get to us. Private Eye was being delivered to us by one of the private mail firms, not TNT. Now Private Eye sends it by a different postal rate and it gets here as it should on time, once a fortnight, delivered by TNT.
PU is usually (but not always) delivered by TNT so I have no idea what they do with it, send it on a world tour first maybe?
If they do maybe Clarky can borrow it on it's way round!
