Usng old lenses and odd lenses on cameras is always a bit of fun, but it's possible with many combinations of kit.

The Q encourages it, with lots of adapters available. But equally, there are lots of adapters for K mount as well.

Sometimes when we buy something new it does encourage us to play for a while.

Stick with the Pentax lenses, they all work the same way, they are compact, the WR on the 18-135 is useful, the colour balance is consistent. And the quality is excellent.

Also, if at some point you decide to do some swapping about, the second hand value holds better.

I can see individual bricks on both versions.

The comclusion as offered is correct and I suspect you need a new monitor. Those CRTs are not picking up the difference I think.

Gather the feedback by all means, but that's as far as we can go I think.

There's no way to add to a poll afterwards. Don't forget that the forums can't be used for commercial purposes. I don't know what you have in mind, but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

I think we need a no option as well. Drum scanning isn't something I would imagine many people have a need for.

Thus we see the perils of automated newsletters!

All equipment has technical limitations. In a photographic sense though that can also mean the limitations of technique. For example, you can't have the fastest shutter speed with the smallest aperture and the lowest ISO if the light is too dim. I think that might be the kind of technical limitation that's being discussed.

Not always, like that nice Cathedral shot you posted earlier?

Partially a fair cop, but that was HDR not because of an inherent shortcoming in digital cameras but because the dynamic range was impossible for any medium. Digital probably would have done better than anything else as there's not a film in existence that would have covered that one.

I would have shot several shots at different exposures and then combined the negatives - in effect, HDR.

The membership in general prefers eBay auctions to left for people to find for themselves. BIN is something else, but if we flag up auctions then the chance for a bargain is gone. People who might not have looked will look and the price gets forced up.
