I think we should get our darkroom on the back of the pony and trap and go back to coating our own wet glass plates. Back to the days when Ansel Adams went out with 10 plates and a 20"x16" camera...

These miniature cameras will never catch on!

Being very short sighted is quite an advantage in photography.

If you hold the camera so that the hands form a shield (like a lens hood) for the screen then even the brightest light is manageable. You do have to be able to focus a little closer than arm's length though....

Incidentally, the I-10 shake reduction works very well indeed.

The kit lenses (18-55mm and 50-200mm) would serve very well. The 18-250mm would also serve very well.

It does, however, depend on what you shoot on holiday - my photography doesn't change because I'm on holiday.

No offence taken.

I don't actually agree with what you're saying, but that's OK, we don't all have to agree!

A Pentax microfibre cloth is all you need.

You guys have clearly not tried models such as the new I-10....

I don't think anyone is offended Oggy, just curious.

Can we keep to the point in Classified Ads please - posts should be about buying and selling or asking relevant questions of the seller.

Because it is a 16mm lens at its widest end. On digital that equates to a near-ultrawide.

The effect of a particular focal length depends upon what format you project its image onto. The focal length of a given lens remains the same.

Pentax are labelling their lenses correctly.
