I agree with Mike, it is puzzling that you wanted full frame but then changed to a smaller format than Pentax's APS-C.

If you do want full frame, then then K-1 II is the obvious choice.

If you scan down the forum list you will find a section called Classified Ads. You're new, so a buyer will need to get to know who and where you are before parting with any money, so why not start a Classified Ad post and also let us know your location. Would you be happy for the lens to be collected for example? If we don't know where you are we won't have any idea whether picking up would be an option.

Sorted! I've removed the extra post.

Whatever the reason, the high ISO performance of sensors is so good that the need for a low powered flash may have faded away.

Likewise, I never used the flash on any of the DSLRs and now don't have the option anyway on my K-1 and K-3II. Sue has kept the flash by opting for the K-3 although I can't say that I can think of many times when she has used it.

Below the comments box there are some buttons, press Image and then follow the instructions. You will be invited to choose an image and then upload it. It's very simple to do and takes the image straight from your computer to pentax User. No need for Flickr.


Hope that helps!

Has your colour space been changed to AdobeRGB? If so, change it back to sRGB.

A reset could also solve the problem, as might updating to the latest firmware.

It's an interesting article. I'm not sure I personally want a new film camera, but there may be quite a few people who would, so not a bad idea there either.

Whatever are you trying to say? -) Just come out with it and then we won't be jumping to conclusions. At the moment I'm deducing that you think our POTW selections aren't very good.....but I can't agree with that. I've seen some superb images selected, although no one person will agree on which picture posted during the week is actually the best.

First of all, the reminders have been sent and acknowldedged, although I'm reminded that sometimes scanners may be used and these could show EXIF data that is misleading. I'm also receiving comments that always some comments on images would be appreciated as feedback is very helpful.

Taken with Pentax kit means just that, but let's not over-think it! The more things get defined, the worse it gets.

Now if you can get the Pentax 560mm onto your Olympus body, then we'll be happy with that. It might just be a heck of a lot easier to just use a Pentax body though....
