I have it on good authority that the next Pentax product will be a
Vacuum Cleaner.. A friend asked a Pentax employee when they were
bringing out a FF...... the reply was that they would make
a Vacuum Cleaner before a FF

In colours to beat even the most garish shades used on recent cameras

I decided on the lightweight route. Except in the garden haven't taken any photos for what seems like months. I really should get the old pentax stuff K7 K5 some lenses etc listed on gumtree/ebay

This is a common 'complaint'. Usually the simple reason is that your monitors brightness may be set to high. The 'default' factory setting of many monitors is way too high for photographic work.

I usually use Color Munki to calibrate my monitors, also have a blackout curtain at the window so ambient light in the room should be constant. I'll try printing a "problematical" image by removing colormunki and turn the brightness of the monitor down and see what the result is

My worry regards sending prints to a print company is, what am I sending? Sometimes I've had an image look quite good in photoshop, saved it full size and also as a pdi, and got some decent feed back on the forum ( I know they are compressed etc) but when I print the same image out it's either too dark or something so haven't had the courage to send any off.

Not sure we should be helping you out.

The more CSC users opt for legacy glass, the more it pushes up the s/h price for us K series users.

If the CSC lenses I'd like weren't so eyewateringly expensive I wouldn't be using the glass I have. Some of which is advertised in the classified section at knock down prices

Thanks Mike. I'll certainly enjoy "window shopping" the expensive stuff as well as the reasonable.

Thanks John and Harry. Will look at SRB Griturn and Ebay

Also clicked on "Mark as Helpful" but nothing seemed to happen. I used to change the posting to Green IIRC

Yes there are adapters available to use Pentax lenses on pretty much any other system. Amazon may have them, so may SRS. You will certainly find them on E-bay.

Thanks Gwyn. I'll have a shop around. Was also hoping for some feedback of anyone who has used such an adapter.

Have a variety of Pentax lenses (and cameras) and have now acquired a 4/3rd camera (Panasonic G6) and would like to use the Pentax lenses. Is there an adapter available which would let me do this and has anyone any experience of the results achieved.
