that is indeed disapointing, although it's also one more Pentax than I saw in Sainsburys yesterday, they had none at all (haven't checked the website, only a casual glance at the stand in my local store).Mongoose wrote:
The point was that Flossie could only find one at Tesco Direct while Pentax just released 3 new models, so it's a bit strange.terje-l wrote:
That's strange. Looking on the Norwegian Pentax site, there are 24 different P&S models, all Pentax.
I'd be fairly surprised if any of the Pentax sites were to display anything other than Pentax cameras......That's strange. Looking on the Norwegian Pentax site, there are 24 different P&S models, all Pentax.

You`re all loopy - IMHO - the only way to travel is a Westfield/Caterham/Lotus 7 - we had a Mk IV 1600 crossflow back in the early 70s in JPS livery with alloy wobbly web original wheels.
Mega machine - 0-60 mph about 3.5 seconds - blow any bike made,off the road up to 70,and then the power fell away .4 wheels great and probably less room than a bike panniers hole.Only car I ever made a profit on too !!!!
If I had the money/could still get in one ! I would buy tomorrow - just enough room for the tripod and the Loweprow with 2 bodies and a few lenses - tee hee - I wish !!

A friend of mine had a Caterham with an 1800 K-series in it. That was a scary car, great fun though. He has a Noble M-400 now, he is certifiably insane.You`re all loopy - IMHO - the only way to travel is a Westfield/Caterham/Lotus 7 - we had a Mk IV 1600 crossflow back in the early 70s in JPS livery with alloy wobbly web original wheels.

OK, I'm using mobile internet for an hour or two yet, so a late reply to this. The simple thing was of course to send a PM to ask...
Images on the site should be Pentax ones, simply because the site is here for Pentax Users to share and show and discuss that particular marque. So no other marques please for Your Photos and Competitions and usually elesewhere as well.
However, I don't see a problem with what particular camera is used to photograph an item for the Classifieds as long as a huge discussion isn't made of that and it isn't turned into a way to sneak other makes pictures in...although with a bit of thought it isn't difficult to get a camera to take its own picture!
We are pretty flexible here, but generally less so with non-Pentax things because of where it very quickly leads.
Good old John, I knew my faith in you was well placed.OK, I'm using mobile internet for an hour or two yet, so a late reply to this. The simple thing was of course to send a PM to ask...

play to your strengths as a guest. Assuming there will be a "proper" wedding 'tog in attendance, he'll get all the group shots etc, so concentrate on candids.
As a guest you know the happy couple and their other guests better than the pro does, you'll have a better chance of knowing where the candid shots will happen and being there with a camera when they do.
That's what I always do at friends and relatives weddings, keep out of the pros way and let him/her do his/her job. Then grab the shots the pro will miss which will fill in the gaps in the album.

How do members use this remote to fire multiple exposures for hdr etc how about taking multiple shots for stitched panoramas,
I have a K10D and a wired remote, and I often shoot stitched panoramas but I've never seen the need to use a remote to do so..... HDR I do less of, but I have fired my *istDL2 with a wireless remote while attached to a telescope without too much difficulty.robbie_d said

couldn't you knock up some sort of mirror arrangement to allow firing the wireless remote from behind the camera?

In this case it looks like the OP has made an error when entering the links as they all point at the root directory of the forum topics.
Hopefully he'll correct them and we can have a look at what this venerable lens can do (I'm assuming they were supposed to be sample photos)
