What do you make of the Pentax shift lens, John?
If you've got any sample images on the K-1, they'll be interesting to see.



Those buildings are very close so it would normally be hard/impossible to get them fully in the frame without them leaning backwards.
All HDR'd as it was very flat lighting. The lens is fine and gives more scope for shifting than the K-1's sensor shift allows. It isn't a lens I'd normally carry unless was anticipating needing it. Nice to have in the arsenal though.

... but apparently sensors are receptive to the UV part of the spectrum whereas film isn’t.
The new kids on the block are the clear lens protection filters. UV can be seen at high altitudes so a UV filter should help cut through it and reduce the blueness.
Filters aren't generally necessary with digital though the effect of a polarizer can't be simulated in camera should one wish to reduce reflections. The effect of ND grads can be reproduced from raw files. Do I use filters? Sometimes!

That thread (from 2009!) is about Adobe Acrobat and outside of long loading times doesn't really explain anything. I'm still not sure what bloatware we are referring to
Also PCs from a decade ago had less memory/storage so struggled with the bulk of their products taking over the computer. What others did in 100mb Adobe took 500.
Just try uninstalling Adobe products. It's virtually impossible; their uninstallers leave tasks running in the background even though the program has theoretically been removed. Guess you haven 't experienced it yet.

I felt that the accusation that stemmed from the Gadget Show comments was a bit odd.
I've spent spent hours trying the clean Adobe programs off my computer but still there's traces of them left behind after their useless installers failed to do the job properly.

Hmm...bloatware? What bloatware? Never had anything else on my PC other then what I wished/paid for. As for avoid, given they happen to be the industry standard, avoiding might be difficult, unless you opt for Phase One option at even higher rate Tech isn't evil. People behind it can be. At this level of reputation however, it is unlikely anyone would risk silliness for the sake of it. One thing that isn't trust worthy is 'news' sources nowadays....

Never had it corrupt anything here. Strange accusation.
PS, Try Foxit rather than Adobe reader. Much better.
Adobe flash? Dangerous; a security nightmare and not really supported any more.

Local papers don't normally pay much (if anything) for submitted photos these days so I wouldn't think it is worth making much of a fuss over.
Given Reso has provided the means for the crews to get some free publicity, if chased perhaps they might get him a free pass to an event and a private photo shoot. Might work out well all round with a closer inside link to the sport he likes. I hope so.
