I don't worry about what Ricoh are doing. I have two nice cameras, K-5IIs and K-S2 and a few lenses which fulfill all my needs. Lucky me

And to photograph a ceiling unless you want to lie on the floor the screen will be in "selfie" position so wi-fi button becomes shutter. Missed taking a low level shot "upwards" inside because I didn't know this at the time. read it later in the manual

I probably visit some of the areas David does, I live in Northumberland, and go on trips to North Yorkshire and Durham. If I had to worry about the weather I d not get out half the time

Not done any macro but I do have the K-S2 and I like it because it has the articulating screen. Just remember if you are using it to see what is straight over head the shutter button changes to the wi-fi button

Brings to mind the expression "If he fell in a pile of poo, he'd come up holding a gold watch"

Exercise in pointlessness. Posting to, viewing, and voting on the images in the Pentax Gallery.

Nice shots, does it matter which lens

One thing I did notice, all the Pentax photographers had carefully removed any identity to their gear. My camera was on a plain strap but the logo on the camera remained visible. first time ever I've been in such a crowd and not seen one Pentax camera of any description

First and last visit for me. Tripods were banned in the graveyard so no good sunset pictures over the town, " 'elf and saftey "Anyone wishing to see the evening event in the Abbey grounds were asked to pay £2.50 if a member of English Heritage or £9.00 if not. Decided against standing in the queue despite being a member oh E.H., although some of our party did go. The response on returning was "What a rip off". There also seemed to be a dearth of cleavage this year but that could be down to me looking for "interesting" costumes, it was also, obviously, almost impossible to get a clear shot of anything

My sentiments exactly.
