I’ve never tried. It's a tough call when you’re carrying three different brands of camera body on a shoot. Just finished two days shooting fashion at Joondalup using a Pentax K7 with 77mm Ltd, two Nikons and an X100.

The camera that got the most of attention from other togs was the X100. They were mostly Canon users. One of the Canon users (5DMkII) had Pentax Ltd lenses in their kit and was very happy with them (nice to have a choice).

As for some equipment being better than other equipment, well it's understandably true, depending on what kit function you need or type of photography you do. One manufacturer does not cover every base.

Short lenses to a standard lens is generally prefered. Most Pro's who shoot food use a shift lense and wider apertures to isolate the food yet keep it all in focus. Using smaller format and not having the option of a tilt shift lens put you at a disadvantage.

It's back to using the right tool for the job (in as much as making the job easier). There is plenty of info on the web about food photography and equipment types.

Just like getting up to the 15th floor.

Elevator-fit for purpose with very little effort on your part.

Stairs-fit for purpose, still get there but with a lot more effort.

A very good effort and a good set. As you say, now you know where he lives, your task is set!

Good colour and bokeh throughout.

My light kit was always a K7, 10-17mm, 16-50mm and the 50-135mm.

Lately it's an X100. It's easy to get into a rut of lens use and being fixed to one FL makes it more interesting for me. For tele shots, I'm just cropping into the image.

It would appear that this article is close to the truth....

Thanks for the link John. Interesting article. I think that the Pentax users mentioned have been taken out of context but do agree with the general comments about harassment.

I see where the author mentions images taken from the public domain could be a point of contention but it's difficult to say that the images used are not in the PD.

I Googled images for "K10D Gary Catterick" and was pleasantly surprised!

I know what you mean. My LX blew my Polaroid away.
