The standard resolution would be 300ppi for the best quality. You should have no problem getting superb A3 prints, even larger if you want to, with either camera. I always resize the images to exactly the size required for the print. So, for example, I get 18" x 12" prints from Costco and resize my images to that, at 300ppi as mentioned.

The open shelf with plenty of air circulation is the best option. I have seen so many older lenses ruined by being in closed bags.

The first question is where are you based. If within range then perhaps a viewing of what's for sale could be arranged?

We'll be visiting the one at Woodford soon, along with the camera club. It's a white one at the Avro Museum.

I think that design has come from the need for the 645 mirror to be as compact and efficient as possible. Scale it down and there are advantages for the smaller full frame format.

A very charming tale that I missed first time round, it was a disrespectful spammer who brought it back! And what a charming tale it is, just how an interaction with a traveller and his wife should be. It sounds as though it is little different to a scene from days long past, when a traveller might arrive at a village, spend a few days and then move on to the next village leaving satisfied customers but barely a trace that they had been there.

Your image is a superb portrait.

It's a personal thing, but it was a pleasure to get back to a lens having the same field of view that I used to use on film. So a 28mm was a wide angle again. In use, the larger viewfinder is nice, the results are superb, the smoothness of operation sublime.

The K-3 and K-3II are themselves lovely cameras, but after using the K-1 for a while they seem very tiny.

It really depends what you want, but if you don't use the K-1 you'll never really know.

It's worked really well as a cover, well done!

No, I think I prefer the colour version, the light is absolutely gorgeous. The black and white is still good, but it doesn't sing out in the same way.

You're welcome, but do please post in English. Many thanks.
