Resigned or pushed, I wonder?

They might have done themselves better by first not swearing and then checking with the police and/or their legal/PR depts whether they had an issue with the photographer or not. But they took the law into their own hands and it seems suffered the consequences of bringing GW into disrepute.

The chap did well to keep his cool!

No, it's a Canon ball thrower

If that helps!

I've got a fixed f4 one. It does have click stops and I must say the images the lens produces are first rate. When I got it I was stunned by how sharp and contrasty the images from it were.

There's a phantom comma after .pdf - delete it and all's well!

Great shots, well done. Surely some of the others there must have said they weren't proper pictures because they were taken with a Pentax!

Isn't it good to get a manual with a camera that isn't only on CD?

John

Does it work OK with other programs such as Canon's Easy-Photoprint Ex? I find that well tuned to their printers, not surprisingly, and it can handle 16 bit images now. Should give you a good baseline. My iP5000 prints very close to the screen image (usually!) so I often save the image and then print it from that to save faffing about.
The Adobe programs allow you to use either Adobe's print settings or the printers own ones. Have you tried both? (Sorry if I'm telling you how to suck eggs!)

As I said in another thread earlier, there could difficulty in sourcing parts following the earthquake/tsunami. Just one major component being unavailable could be a show stopper.
If supply of several manufacturing jigs has gone they may have thought it best to abandon the K-5 and K-r prematurely and come up with a replacement. But that would take time. .........All speculation mind.

John

They do come up. Got one from there (not Japan) fairly recently and is as good as new.
I was pleased with it. Expect to pay £100-£150 for a good one, probably far more than its really worth but there aren't many other options.
