Pentax recruiting photography students for promotional work
Home > Pentax News > Pentax recruiting photography students for promotional work


Pentax, the world renowned photographic equipment manufacturer, is recruiting a large number of photography students and graduates to promote its SLR

If you are, or have recently been, a photography student and would like to join Pentax to promote their SLR range in store, contact their Marketing Manager, John Dickins, directly, with information on your photographic experience and why you are ideally suited to work for one of the biggest SLR brands in the world. This activity is part of Pentax’ worldwide launch of the new K-series Digital SLR cameras, including the Pentax K10D and K100D, both incorporating Pentax’ own Shake Reduction system. John Dickins may be contacted at [email protected]
Seems odd to be showing that now in the site here in the Latest/Related News section. It is very out of date, unless Pentax are reintroducing some old camera models. Have they found a warehouse full of new old stock to clear out?

The X-5 will be featured on Bid TV (Freeview channel 23) tonight at 9pm.
I dare say a chance to buy one too if you wish.

There used to be a standard photographic joke when going round the tourist spots - look out for the tripod marks!

It looks as though Pentax have booked several slots on Bid TV on Thursday to sell the X-5, so a good chance to see what it's like.

Just been viewing some of the entries for the 'Holiday Time' competition and looking at the exif data.

One shows the following information which seems to be giving two conflicting values for the aperture used:

Quote:
F-Stop: f/8
Aperture Value: f/6
Anyone help me make sense of that please?

They phoned soon after I wrote my earlier post to say it had arrived; that was within three days of phoning the branch that had the item. Impressive stuff! (Never thought I'd be saying that.)
