After which NASA will be renamed to NASAL and then they'll showcase new spaceships with newfound alien technology built in them. The first of many shall be called BSG9000.

Kidding aside, it is very sad to hear that something like space exploration is taking a back seat due to the man made problems we have in the world today.

"The more advanced you get."

I probably wouldn't be reading PC Pro anymore if I did, as I'd be too busy collecting lenses and pixel peeping my way into photography.

What can we do, Pentax is the underdog and ignorant people will always have something like this to say, and usually get away with it.

But you know what, informed people like us here will usually know what the truth is, and would have had to go through some hard thinking to decide to go with Pentax.

I know I did.

Re-reading this thread now seems to end on a much mroe positive note. Looks like it wasn't as bad as what the original poster said.

Like with anything it life, it's all about setting expectations. Usually coming into things expecting to be disappointed will net some rather more positive returns.

This certainly sounds very juicy. Care to share some links and some info as to who this is (a PM would do)? I've found THAT forum you mentioned to be rather cold and less receptive compared here. Maybe because I'm using a GX-10? I'm unsure.

The people of Pentax User UK remind me of the people who helped me go for Pentax (I was hell bent on getting a Nikon D80, then opted at the very last minute for a K10D, then a GX-10), this was at the Digital Photography Philippines forums.

My partner's very understanding, and if given the time, she'd be joining me in on a tour of the UK, and eventually the US, taking photos of landscapes, sceneries, and portraits of people from all over.

At the moment, she's a full time mom to my son. As for me, I work for the Jobcentre here in Ealing (oh my) and she understands when I have the itchy trigger finger.

I'm glad that I waited for a couple more hours, otherwise I would have missed the lighting that afternoon.

I recently procured a Pentax M 28 2.8 lens. Here are a couple of photos testing it out.

Both photos taken on top of Horsenden Hill, Ealing. Here's a a group of Polish people who were nice enough to break a £5 for me.

Thanks for looking.

Excellent photos. They're beautiful, thanks for the heads up on the page. A pity that the comments have turned to the usual God versus Science debate.

Happy birthday! So whats the LBA fix?

Damn. At the very least thanks for sharing the bad news. No Canon as well right? But still. Oh Pentax. Samsung should have just bought you instead (along with Samyang).
