W.E.F. 1 Oct 2015 the Sale of Goods Act was replaced by the Consumer Rights Act, in case you need to know!

Wallimex lenses are rebadged Samyangs. Also labelled Rokinon amongst others.

I've seen that 'used only for advertising purposes' on Am-azon quite a lot including Pentax branded ones. Maybe its a ruse to sell below a manufacturer's/importer's recommended price. £300 is a pretty good price for that tilt shift.
I now own two Samyangs and am quite impressed with both.

Nice moody shots. #2 is very spooky!

For which printer?

Electric Seed Head (with wires provided by the local spiders)


K-1 with DFA 100mmf2.8 macro and Pentax 160 ring flash.
1/125" @ f11- ISO 400 HDR'd in EasyHDR3

or if you prefer, a more natural version!

Thanks, even if opinions do conflict somewhat! I take it a Laser is OKish with the right toner and paper and the right photo, but not the best. It's surprising that a good dedicated photo laser hasn't been created by now, I'm sure it would be a popular option given the potential for better reliability.

Set the camera for raw (dng) + jpeg to give you the option of reprocessing the balance etc. if need be. It's actually possible to develop/reprocess them in camera if you wish! The raw files are larger so make sure your memory card can cope. If you have Photoshop Elements or similar, processing the raw files is no more complicated than adjusting jpegs, but gives you more leeway to correct all sorts of errors. Have a practice before Saturday, it's certainly nothing to be afraid of! Taking both raw & jpeg means you'll still have the files you're used to and they may be just fine.... but if they're not, you'll have wasted that £25. The raw's will give you a second bite at the cherry to get a better image, which given the contrast you'll encounter, they almost certainly will be better.
Also, remember take spare charged battery(s) if you have any.

I gathered that Alan, thanks. I'll phrase it another way! Can you get exhibition quality prints from a Laser? For instance, if you didn't have time to get those 16 x 12's made, or you only wanted a 10 x 8 printed quickly for something, how would the laser compare? I only rarely go above A4 even though I do have an A3 Canon if I need it. Should those printers die (they are getting on somewhat) would I get by with a laser? I've considered it in the past when my thoughts were it might be an expensive option, but if the prints are superior it might still be worth getting one. I've got a dye-sub too, but only does 6x4's.
Thanks.

I suppose the moral is don't risk purchasing printers that use chipped cartridges. My trusty Canon Pixma IP5000 doesn't and continues to work well despite being at least 10 years old.

[quote="Blythman"]I gave up on a photo printer. Bought a colour laser printer for home use. It can sit idle for months and then be used again without the concerns of clogged up ink.[/quote]How do laser colour prints stand up against inkjet photo prints when you don't want to get them printed by a lab? Say you want a 10 x 8 for a competition, is a laser a viable printer to do this?
