You can of course access Pentax User and ePHOTOzine on your iPhone, which is something useful at least.

The price is what I would expect for a new one. It's one of the few TCs I would consider buying.

Umm Olympus - ever bought anything from them ? I haven't but I know someone who has and how Olympus treats it's customers .
Olympus abandoned its half frame following and also its 35mm SLRs, despite at one time being a major player. Anyone who invested in Pen or OM equipment reached a dead end. Just a personal opinion, but if the 4/3 system failed then I don't expect Olympus would stick with it for long either.

I recognise the logo on your case and it was definitely from the same club. The mug just has the Pentax logo though and says "Simply Hold a Pentax" on it. It was offered by the club but may have originated from Pentax themselves.

Just out of interest, we also have a Pentax umbrella, calculator, plus demo stands for cameras and lenses.

I use my Pentax Club mug every day for my coffee. It is now joined by a much newer Pentax Sport optics mug in stylish green.

Quite a few phones have fairly good cameras on them, certainly good enough for websites such as facebook.

It all boils down to what you want a camera for.

The ping test is a measure of the time it takes to send and receive back a small packet of information to a server.

My ping speed here is generally about 26ms.

If you want to test your owm broadband speeds then www.pingtest.net gives you some new information and www.speedtest.net gives you the standard speed information.

It's interesting but addicitive as the temptation is to keep on checking....

Just thinking about the iPhone, which has been mentioned elsewhere, I was wondering which photograhy apps that people use? I've had a look at them and couldn't really find anything useful, but maybe I'm missing something.

All the Apps I've downloaded have been related to the other stuff, such as weather, locations, maps and so on, rather than the photography itself.

The only other things have been Pentax User, ePHOTOzine and facebook that I use regularly on a number of different devices.

Any good thoughts?

As many of you know, but some newer members may not, Pentax Club was the previous name of Pentax User, from before the days when Pete and the team took it over.

Who has ideas for what a Pentax App might be, that would be useful?
