Thanks, Simon, I'll have a look at those two sites. It's good to get these recommendations, I really appreciate it.

I have a very good monitor, an Eizo, which is calibrated well. My fulltime work, which gets printed regularly, is done on this computer and I'm quite happy with the results.

I received prints from Pixum today and they were nearly perfect, I was very happy with them. Some of the images were the same that I got printed with Photobox and the contrast between the two was quite obvious. Pixum was good, Photobox was dull.

Thanks again to everyone for your recommendations

Thanks, Brian, I've had a look at Proam and will have to try them, their pricing seems quite reasonable

I think I'll have to try a few different places. I want a cheaper place for printing loads of regular family pics, and a quality place for printing other images for framing and such.

All the best,
Kev

Thanks, Stanovich, I'll have a look at BPD Photec.

Thanks for pointing that out, John, I'll remove the link. My site has been hacked so I've had to take down and re-do everything.

All the best,
Kev

Hello all, I would like to enquire as to who the best online printing service is. There seem to be so many of them but who in your opinion does the best job?

I recently received prints from Photobox and they all seemed desaturated, the colours were dull, nothing like what I see onscreen. Now I do understand that this can be an issue with what you see on screen being different to what actually prints, but the work I do on my computer gets printed all the time and I never have issues with desaturated colours. Which makes me think Photobox is not a good printing service.

If you can let me know who you guys and gals think are a good service I would really appreciate that.

Thanks,

Kev

Hello all,

I'm currently on the look out for either of the following:

Pentax SMC P-FA 50mm F1.4 or
Pentax SMC P-FA 50mm F1.7

Thanks,
Kev

It's been a while since I last visited this fine forum. Here is a recent pic, from yesterday actually. It's an hdr image. I took the shot at around 8pm so it was a lot darker than in the pic.

GREAT set of pics. All of them are fantastic.

I was at the airshow on the Sunday, and it wasn't that great. No Red Arrows being one of the reasons. And it was cloudy all day. Looks like you were there on the best day

All the best,
Kev

Lovely set of pics

1 & 2 are nice, but the rest of the images do it for me.

Best,

Kev

I've read many good things about the Jupiter-37AI've read many good things about the Jupiter-37A, but have seen good reports about the others as well, such as your lens here. I'm a big fan of images with DOF and good bokeh, I LOVE taking those kinds of shots. The 37A is supposed to have '12 perfectly round aperture blades, which helps create really smooth bokeh', which sounds good to me
