The T&Cs on sites such as Photobucket and Facebook are written to allow pictures to be shown in various parts of the world without rights issues arising, not to allow anybody to do anything they like with anybody's image.

We're just advising you what the modus operandi of this site is so we don't run foul of misuse of images.

If I post an image on the web this doesn't mean you can post it anywhere you like without permission. There is a common misconception and some people do fall foul of it.

As regards our new poster, if you have any questions regarding your image then please PM Ken (gartmore) in this instance and I'm sure he'll be happy to discuss it with you.

A camera shop with coffee sound pretty much ideal to me.

In general, the site is for our own images, which of course we have the rights to. If we want to show other peoples' images then we should obtain their permission (I have done this with an image of a painting in Your Photos) or we should just link to them instead.

Just because an image is on the web doesn't give us the right to use it.

I think you're kidding us Aura, that's not on Mars! However, it's a nice idea and there are quite a few possibilities with it.

Welcome!

Thanks, eBay sellers will have noticed the frenetic activity and changes!

Yes Mike, but we should make allowances for a new user not knowing the layout of the forums. You and I were new once.

tonyb10, if you repeat your questions under the Lenses for Pentax Cameras section then you'll get replies pretty much straight way.

Hope that helps.

Maybe no use walkeja, but a lot of use to those who have.

I don't know what percentage of the population now use smart phones, but certainly amongst my friends and family almost everyone.

Modulation Transfer Function, is a method of measuring the quality of lenses. Very basically, it electronically replaces the concept of lines-per-millimetre.

Most lens tests use methods to measure MTF values. So, the MTF setting on a camera just selects what is known to be the best aperture of a lens in terms of quality. This will presumably only work with Pentax lenses that have electronic contacts.

The wider shot has a better lead in from the two couches. It also feels less cramped than the second one.
