John,

We have read that you are a strong advocate of Pentax batteries and also of dealing with Chris and SRS for purchases, so what do you think of these?

It's up to the individual, but when we put our money where our mouth is, we will be buying original Pentax batteries. When I buy any Pentax camera from Chris, a spare Pentax battery is always a part of the purchase.

I tested the K-r for |EPZ and the IR perfomance looked encouraging. I only tries using Channel Mixer inb Photoshop, but it looked as though there was some potential for IR phgotography.

It's honing down to two K-5s with 18-135mm lenses and spare Pentax batteries. Chris, expect my call quite soon!

So do you only use it for monochrome, John?

No, also for colour, where the shadows are deep and rich. I should have been clearer! A good example might be a portrait in frony of black velvet curtains - the background would look deep and rich and would have superb texture.

I use Jessops Heavyweight Matt 230gsm quite a bit and it gives gorgeous velvety blacks...

Yes, it's a s good as that. Rain is no longer an excuse not to get out there and make images!

I guess we've all had people say, "That's a really good photo, you must have an excellent camera!"

It's just one of those things...

True, I've modified it so it won't be picked up by the spambots.
