Going on an all-night shot in that London tonight - as it's raining the suicidal K-3 is joining me rather than the Nikons

Never used the Live view on the K-3 before and trying to work out how the magnify the image on screen; of course the image preview dial (the thumb dial) changes the aperture in bulb...so how would I go about it?

I have RTFM but it's useless....

Chinon got me roped into the K-mount...I liked my CP-7m but as soon as I got the Z-10 it was surplus... the brand was eventually brought out by Kodak,

I haven't watched the video but on other photography sites , where they are telling Nikon what their future strategy should be, the fanboys are out in force and get their facts completely wrong...

Boasting about back compatability of the F-mount but not mentioning that some Nikon ranges won't work with older lenses...AFAIK only the DA17-70 lens spoils the Pentax party....

I've heard 'NEWS' about Pentax's demise since the dawn of AF....never stopped me buying Pentax gear. just wondering what my next purchase will be.

Are you selling because of the temperamental SDM?

Surprised that the lens has been returned with a fault, surely there should be a guarantee with the repair. What is the reason SRS are refusing to help?

If you are near West London I know a guy that can fix SDM lenses (Asahi Photo in Brentford).

Rob, which Nikkor's? the 14-24, 24-70 and 70-200? the new 24-70 is VR, the older variant isn't. If you expand to say the 16-35 option then the cheaper f4 Nikkor is VR. But there is no Pentax equivalent f4 at any range.

Perhaps Pentax are missing a bit of an opportunity here, some of the Canon and Nikkor f4 are more hightly regarded than the equivalent f2.8s so perhaps Pentax/Ricoh should repackage the DA*60-250 as a D-FA* lens. What to do at the wider end, not sure.

Pentax aren't immune, neither are other brands......

wish I'd pulled the trigger already on the 150-450 but on the other hand the K-1 has not been used yet....

Keep what you have, better the devil you know, money better spent on a prime or macro

ADORABLE!

I would be interested to hear the follow-up on this discussion. I have the FA*28-70 and wonder whether there is value to get the DFA* 15-30 or 24-70 (or both), or just save money and use the 'other' system for the wider shots...

ONLY 2?????
