Welcome to Pentax User!

The cable is one you can readily buy, just check which type it is. Alternatively, you could forget the cable and use a card reader instead.

Hope that helps!

Your pixel dimensions and ppi should deliver the size you want to print at, the JPEG will need to be maximum quality.

For example, it might be a 16" x 12" print at 300ppi, which is pretty much what comes out of a K-5 as is. Anything else, it will need resizing.

I would suspect light leaking through the viewfinder eyepiece is distorting your meter reading. Do you wear glasses? If you shield the eyepiece does it solve the problem?

Check the specification required by the printer and provide them with the file that's optimum based on that.

Usually a JPEG is asked for.

I was quoting yourself Algi, you were the one who said auction. Looking at it now, we can no longer tell what it was. A BIN can be acceptable.

For the very reasons I outlined, I won't be putting up any links to any eBay auctions that I am posting, nor have I ever done so. My blog on EPZ sometimes shows some of my auction items, but only after they have finished.

The only exception would be if an item has been offered here first and then after no interest was shown it's been put on eBay. Then we might he happy for people to post a link to that as the cat is already out of the proverbial bag.

Incidentally, much as I would like to put some things on here first, that depends on the owner of said items. If they want them to go to eBay so the market can decide the best price, then that's the way it has to be. Anything I offer on here will invariably be my own.

Please remember for future reference we don't link to auctions. This can spoil a bargain for somebody and in the past people have been pretty upset when suddenly everybody is bidding on something they thought they had spotted that had been missed.

Let eBay auctions do their own advertising please, it saves problems.

Title corrected.

I don't know whether the 645D gives much over the D800 in terms of resolution - just a bit probably - but the essential thing for us is does it give something more than the APS-C format. That it does seem to do, keeping the Pentax style and modus operandi but at a cost of size and weight.

If we like Pentax images, then the 645D is the clear choice.

Is it a good choice for Unlocker? That's not really for anyone else to say, it's a very personal decision. It wouldn't make sense for me to end up with the proposed kit, but it might or might not for Unlocker.

The amount of IR light can vary enormously, so revisiting will give many different effects I'm sure.

I actually like the sepia tone best. It gives an air of the vintage postcard, although what a shame that we don't have the Victorian view, where the ruins would be covered with foliage and trees would be sprouting amongst the ruins.

The naked stone of the sanitised modern view isn't as attractive, although the ruins will last longer that way. Your shots though are very attractive and I can see why it's one of your favourite haunts.

I did say that, very observant. But what did I mean by it? At the time the general hue and cry was for a full frame Pentax DSLR, so the comment really referred to that being one of the very few cons that could be found with the K-5 II and/or IIs. In other words, it didn't fulfil the desires of the FF wishers.

Please remember that when I do review it is done from a neutral standpoint and the pros and cons are not my personal opinions. For me personally the point wasn't a con point at all, but there were the large number of other people in the world who were being thought about.
