I think that Pentax should take the case straight to the grass roots and start to offer serious speakers to the camera club circuit. Years ago companies like Ilford and Kodak and many others had lecturers and postal lectures available. In the ADAPS archive we still have a good selection of film-strip lectures from these sort of sources.

If someone did talks to clubs, Pentax orientated and taking along some exciting kit to show then over time there would be I'm sure a definite benefit.

In our club there are actually quite a lot of Pentax/Samsung users, probably more than average as Pentax have at least had a fair hearing (I wonder who from) and the members spend a huge amount of money each year on kit. This could definitely be tapped into.

Chris from SRS has twigged to that here, although he hasn't yet realised how much the members at ADAPS spend.

Some things are forever mysterious....

We're all learning this week, so I've not been too worried about the 800 pixels. Anyway, it was interesting to see what would happen to images that were too big. It seems they don't necessarily post very well, overlapping the ads for example. So it loks like 800 is still a sensible compromise.

Back to normal next week!

The Admin team may not be able to read every post, so it's best to make a report.

Nice work.

Have you made a report?

Thanks for that. There's enough modelling to see the subject properly and it doesn't seem quite so flat as a ringflash. With a ringflsh though it's possible to add a small flashgun to one side to create that modelling.

Anyway, nice work, but not so sure about the model. I've seen prettier...

Just magazines talking to some extent. We would have to see what testing methods they used to get any real information from it. Most "tests" these days are really more like subjective reviews.

Glad to hear it worked out OK. Have fun!

I just have a wicked and mischevious sense of humour...
