Beautiful, takes me straight there.

The tarn to col placement in No. 3 is terrific and Nos. 5 & 8 what can I say but just magnificent.

Cheers
Mike

Yes I have! The spring loaded grey inner clip recently snapped in my K50, fortunately the D-LI 109 battery still makes good enough contact when the battery compartment outer cover is shut. I have considered getting this repaired but haven't bothered as I expect it would cost more than I'd like to pay.

Regards
Mike

No. 3 for me by a country mile! Excellent monochrome image.

Here's a link to a web site with various Pentax camera's service manuals including the one for the ME Super, they are downloadable as PDFs. It has an exploded diagram of that camera on page 16.

Hi Karlo,

Nice Land-Rover, a neighbour has rebuilt one very similar, it's his pride and joy now!

Here's a couple more photos of the Jags plus one of a weird tracked vehicle that was nearby.

Lovely, the sequence shows the route taken.

My pick would be numbers 1 & 5, they really pull the eye into the picture. Plus no. 6 with its beautiful sky and the sheep aren't running away!

Regards
Mike

Sorry Jules, at my annual review with the accountant my eyes glaze over after five minutes so not much help on the details. The medium format range has been a bit quiet recently, Pentax pioneered this format for DSLR type bodies and it has been very successful for them, but others are moving into the same field. I wonder if this is where the next big release will be, given the comments issued by Ricoh?
This time last year there was talk of a 100mp 645 to compete with Phase One's similar offering. Given the development time perhaps its getting close now.
Imagine a 100mp sensor with pixel shift resolution!
And imagine the computer needed to do any processing!

You are right! He has two quotes:

"These places mean something and it's the job of a photographer to figure-out what the hell it is."
Robert Adams
"The camera doesn't make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE."
