I've removed the name calling posts. Please keep things civil gentlemen.

Impromptu video can be shot quite happily on a compact. Serious video on a DSLR or anything else means, to me at least, film-making. That requires planning, shooting properly and then editing. If I was doing that I think I'd look at camcorders in the first instance.

Ken knows much more about this than any of us, so I'd quiz him about the subject.

It's expensive though. I'd still persevere with a WG with f/2 lens. I'm using a WG3 and not finding any particular problems.

If you want a waterproof housing, be prepared for high cost and having to possibly grease seals every use and then huge bulk.

You've done very well indeed this time. These are very pleasant woodland shots, with good lighting and good colour!

It is looking pretty exciting though, even more so now that pricing is starting at levels that are much more within reach. Still out of reach for me at this moment, but who knows, one day it might be possible.

I hope so.

It should have been tongue-in-cheek. This is the camera that EPZ have for review and it was shot with whatever they had to hand. I think most people would understand that this has nothing to do with forum policy. In the limited time available, it would be ridiculous to take a second series of images just for this forum. They are not promotional images and are not taken by Pentax.

I hope that clears it up.

Lenses are highly complex and it may well be that this one is now destined for a repair house to reassemble. I only tried this once, on a totally broken lens, and won't ever be trying it again.

Small amounts of dust in a lens won't affect performance.

Apologies to DrOrloff, I had to remove that post because the long EXIF wasn't wrapping and it was causing a problem.

In essence, Adrian was pointing out that the picture of the 645N was taken using an Olympus camera. Presumably tongue-in-cheek he was suggesting this meant we were lifting the Pentax-only rule.....

I used to use 100mm on film for head and ahoulders portraits, so I would now use something around 70mm. There's a lovely Limited lens that has all the qualities that I like best in a portrait lens!

I've used one, tested one for EPZ, but sadly don't own a 70mm Limited yet.

Old or new glass makes no difference to what focal length you choose.
