A good point Don,
Maybe I should start a topic with that as the title, cause I dont really know of any

I was just interested in what we all thought of other brands and if any one particular brand / model had influenced or effected us either by techincal advancement or emotion though out our own personal photographic historys

Also if there where no cameras there would be no photographers (but I am just playing devils advocate here !!

HI All,

Being a bit of a newbie not to picture taking so much but to photography and photographic history, being mainly pentax influenced with the majority of my cameras, I dont really know much about what happend in the photographic world.

So I wondered if there where any makes and or models out there that we liked or respected or even acepted as milestones and what, if any, the reason was, (pentax or otherwise)

Other than the Pentax my Dad had (the ME Super I now have) there was two others. The first one I liked since I was a kid was the little Olympus trip, not for any other reason than I remember the adverts ! the second was the canon T90 because it looked (in my eyes) different and it was supposed to be full of all these technological advances inside it.

What about you guys n girls?

Hi all

I thought I would leave it a couple of days before commenting.

On the whole I quite like it. Visually its not to bad, I dont mind the ads at the side too much the only bit for me that really annoys is the 'sponser' ad that appears in the main thread.

Most of the bugs / issues seem to get delt with promptly (well done to those responsible)

Thanks everyone, for your advice opinions. looks like I am going to be scouring ebay for the next few months for my bargin

Thanks John,

I think I badly worded the question what I meant was the lenses for the ist going on to a K10/20. I assume that they will be ok

Thanks guys,

Thats pretty much convinced me to go with an ist of some description.

Whats the lens forward compatability like with the newer k series bodies ?

Hi all

A plea for your help and advice.

I am struggling to find 35mm film at a decent price like I could in the uk, and a decent place to process it, so I am seriously considering making the change to digital in the near future.

It would have to be second hand and probably an ebay bargin and I was considering either of the above but not knowing a lot about either I was hoping you knowledgable people could offer your opinions on the pros and cons for both.

My train of thought was more towards the ist as it has been around a little longer which I was hoping this would make it easier to get hold of one in a bundle with a lens or two at reasonable cost, but the price I have been looking at them both for on ebay makes me think spend a little more and get the K100d and the shake reduction function

Idealy it would be a stop gap camera until I could afford a k20 which may never happen (and you might convince me i dont need too) but thats the long term plan

So any advice please

Ta

(I appolgise if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find much using the search)

Hi Hefty1,

Just an everyday Fuji 400, that I got in a multi pack from the supermarket.

Hope this helps mate.

Some of the first shots with my new (ish) MX and my macro tubes.

I have cropped a little but no other tweaking

Not sure what this is but the long fillaments from the flower are great



Raindrops on a petal



Finally this leaf, I just love the variety of colours and the brown / decay all on the one leaf. There is a certain type of tree over here that has an amazing range of colours on in autum but I just can't seem to capture the whole range of colours from a full tree on film well enough yet so I tried focusing in on one leaf



As always C&Cs welcome
