hi,

Do yuo know if it just works on the K10/20 or all pentax Dslr's?

tempted by the 50mm 1.4 as well though.............. but no i do not NEED it!

............. if it was a K7 and not a K20D, might have been an even more expensive evening..........

Hi,

Quite interested in the Sigma DC 17-70 F2.8-4.5 Lens.

How about £150 by bank transfer? (no paypal fees either way then) , and lens sent Royal Mail Parcels Recorded Delivery........

I can happily use my Km on full manual in RAW+, however don't know if that means I can take a better pic . produce a better image..........are my algorhythms better then Penty's? I like to think so.....

TO be honest, the one thing I struggle with is flash, and use a Metz Mecablitz 48AF-1, I love how cool it is that can use it and its not connected to the camera physically, but hate the limited angle of usage of such wireless technology............

Practice makes perfect........and off to church tomorrow for a christening, they are expecting some free pics, I don't really do church (wel not since a cub and that was a while back, and most of the stuff that Santa left originates north o' the border, comes in a corke dbottle and had 40% written on the label!))

So busy lying in bed this morning before going to London to see the out-laws!

Using i-phone to scour the web for post Christmas bargains whilst wife in the shower, and Warehouse Express had a reconditioned K7 with 18-55 for £680......

Couldn't be ar$ed to get proper computer out and snap up a bargain, and they're only 20 mins from us, open on Tuesday so I can examine before I buy................thought well Pentax, no-one else will spot and click on that today............. and thought no more about it - other than for the 2 hour journey down to London, thinking, how can I tactfully explain to wife sitting beside me, that of course, £700 on a second (well to be main body) is an entirely justifiable purchase, less than a week after an expensive Christmas, and a £700 camera is much more needed than carpets / curtains / washing machines etc....... ( I realise £700 is peanuts compared to some camera bodies and all relative however her phone has an 8 Meg camera, so can therefore take nearly just a good a pic as my 10Mpg K-m )


Yep - got down to London, logged on to cousins lappie to check... and gone!

Ah well............. Should be a nice tax rebate due around April.......

So which one of you was it??????????????

Up for sale is my Pentax K-m camera with the 18-55mm Kit lens it came with. Bought in April this year.

Approx 4,500 shutter actuations, and camera is in excellent condition, having always been kept / transported in a Lowepro rucksack.

I took out the extended warranty through Currys.digital and I think this is transferrable - though will need to check that.

Selling as upgrading to a K-7.

£295.

P.S. Will upload some pics of it later, but will be from a camera phone.

Road-Dancer,

Many thanks - just downloaded the K-m manual - quicker than finding it in the study! - and using the moggy as a not very happy subject - works just fine.

Many thanks to all - who helped, and sorry for such a silly Q (Flash is all new to me)

cheers,

so wireless, is only wireless, if you buy extra wireless bits.........

Grrr.......

Maybe leave the on board up, 30 wraps of black gaffer tape!

Ebay here we come!!

am sure its all been mentioned above, but to me, the obvious is the difference in expectations between the 2 parties..... and further expectations from both parties.

I assume by your seemed definition of semi-pro means "I don't do it for a living, but I think I am good enough to charge for images" Hence, if thats your starting point, some form of understanding needs to be in place before the event. Sorry to be crass, but "horse bolted and stable door" springs to mind.

Did you buy spare body / lens especially for the venture? Irrelevantr but interested.

The only question yuo need to ask yourself, is the sake of £100-£200 or so for the images / copyrighting them (what are you going to do in future) worth the friendship for you or your wife?

If I was in this situation (I don't consider myself good enough for a wedding yet!) maybe do their 78 images, but tell them you are doing a copy for your portfolio and get their agreement to use images for purpose you see fit for any forthcoming business adventure.

Apologies, if repeated mentioned above, but got fed up on page 2, and fingers went into action before brain/eyes could read all the posts above.
