No problem Greg, first case of beer on me if we ever meet.

Boerewors is your task. Not too spicy though...

OK, all points accepted gentlemen.

So I have to assume that the Sony FF that Nikon use in the D700 has been "tweaked" to suit 35mm lenses as the images from my 12-24 on the D700 are razor sharp, edge to edge.

I now need a sort out as I kept hanging on to a lot of lenses waiting for FF from Pentax.



Regards gentlemen.

Are you meaning cropped or FF sensor. If FF, then I'm confused.

"It might not seem like somebody with such ostentatious tastes would crave privacy, but along with these expensive toys, Ambramovich has installed an anti-paparazzi “shield”. Lasers sweep the surroundings and when they detect a CCD, they fire a bolt of light right at the camera to obliterate any photograph".

So use Velvia in an MX :

Be interseting to "see" (pardon the pun)the first lawsuits for causing blindness. It's basically illegal to use actual laser light. Even Police laser speed guns are NOT lasers for that reason.

It's worth getting a few CCD's stuck to a large mirror system just to bounce em back...

I never considered my Pentax glass to be so lacking.

Anyone else think that we use "non mustard cutting" glass?

50 ASA slide film still out resolves a FF sensor. So why did we never hear that Pentax optics were soft at the edges.

Digital has a lot of sins to answere to.

I was thinking in terms for large prints, billboards etc as well as pixel density.

Pentax will never make sensors. Money is not there for them to start doing so. They buy them in, so why not use the FF Sony sensor?

Nikon don't make sensors, they just show Sony how to use them properly.

There is a Hamma rifle grip in the photo! Donkey's years ago, I used an ME Super with Soligor 400mm f/5.6 at the Isle of Man mounted on one of these. Close to 200 rolls of slide film (Barfen CR100) the lens aperture collapsed!

The grip and ME Super soldiered on though with a (good) Vivitar Series 1 70-210 (next longest lens in my bag).

All sentimental all of a sudden

Wishful thinking "I'd like to think that the new back will fit old 645's". It's a bit like the interchageable digital back idea for 35mm camera's that only Leica produced. If Pentax did that, they would not sell as many new units. But, IF they did that, it would shake the rest of the industry. A bold move indeed!

I just heard a penny drop.......it needed a second input....

Best regards

No problems whilst discussions are active....

I wasn't aware that they did a gold Spotmatic. Your right about collectables and not used. My loft is full of stuff and needs a good sort through.

Safe to say that here as my wife does not read this.


Otherwise..
