A few images playing with lighting in the studio. Shot on the Pentax Q with 5-15mm lens, which certainly looked odd with the IR Trigger being larger than the camera. In fact, it was quite easy to use and it tempts me even more towards a K-01.

Not long arms and no bridge, just a very small pond!

It's quite fun to use a compact camera from time to time, so here's a couple shot at Arley Hall with the Optio W90:




Comments are always welcomed.

What is clear from the Pentax moves and the Olympus moves is that endoscopes are where the money is, along with probably other medical imaging products.

Absolutely, so nothing to get over-excited about.

I'm curious as to how you can compare the Eden Project to anywhere if you've never been, but notwithstanding that, it is a useful destination IMHO that has some merit and some potential for photography.

Likewise the Lost Gardens of Heligan, although for me they were not lost enough and I wanted more dereliction in old, abandoned buildings and so on. None of that I'm afraid, but still worth a visit.

Mevagissey was a pleasant place to stay and the harbour at night offers more photo pleasures.

There are plenty of other places, and for me Cornwall is all about the coast. Devon has interest inland as well.

On 120 film the 645 will give 15 shots. The 67 will give just 10.

Everybody is competing like crazy for our money DrO, and there are so many quirky products out there now for people who want to be seen as individualistic.

Nice thought it all is, there's a limit to how much we can spend on photographic gear and i'm settling at the moment largely for a pause in buying. Apart from the Q adapter that is.

Thanks, that's what I thought. However, seeing lenses from A series onwards can be quite happily used with no problem, and that stretches back some 40+ years, is it so unreasonable?

Maybe it is unreasonable and maybe it would be useful to have a full version of the mount again. What do people think?

This has been the state of things since the film SLR era and the petition makes the assumption that doing this would be low cost and easy. It might not be, otherwise why let it be dropped in the first place?

Interesting thought though.
