The sentiment that it's the photographer that counts is a sound one, because without that talent there is nothing.

However, there is some need for the concept of a "pro" camera in that it will be more robust, might have a higher fps rate for the sports photographers, might have weather resistance for the rigours of the conditions it is used in and so on. It might be a Pentax K7.

On the other hand, in pure terms of the ability to make an image the camera is probably the least important part of the chain, but we do assume a certain basic standard of quality. All Pentax DSLRs meet this standard.

Has anybody considered evaluating cameras based on how the pictures look to the human eye?
I don't know, but it would be nice.

Welcome to the forum.

The titles that you see against names, such as "Site Veteran" or "Pentax Master" are just a bit of fun and depend only on the number of posts made.

No medals!

Just join in, enjoy the forum and if you need any help just ask!

Bridge is a file broswer, Lightroom something else entirely.

Then the Pentax correction lenses M are the answer, or just the empty holder for your optician to make a customised lens for it.

I would give Chris at SRS a ring and see what is available. If nothing is available, then eBay is a source from time to time.

I have a rubber lens hood in 58mm and also a round metal one that is very shallow, so suitable for wide angle lenses.

Total price for both including post & packing £3.00 :

I understood that only limited numbers were ever available because of the smaller batches and longer manufacturing times. A consequence of applying the highest standards.

The fact that some people don't get problems doesn't mean there isn't anything wrong with the forum. I get logged out sometimes for no reason at my end.
We all do from time to time and there will be a reason, even if we're not aware of it. It could mean a server problem from time to time which needs us all to log in again.

I'm permanently logged in and unless there's a server problem I never have to log in. Same on IE8 and Firefox.

Don't forget to make sure the "remember me on this computer" box is ticked. Also, that's very literal and if you log in from elsewhere, such as a laptop, when you come back to your own computer you will be logged out and have to log in again.
