Surely the only question should be: does my camera gear do what I want to do in a way I like? Answer: yes, then carry on. Answer: no, then look for something else. As Pentax have never made a TS lens, I bought a Horseman LE 5x4 view camera, lenses, tripod etc. I have a Pentax loup for focusing and one day I'll pick up a Spotmeter. Did I sell the rest of my Pentax gear? Hell no, I don't fancy trying to take photos at a children's party using a 5x4 view camera!
I do wish, however, that Pentax would sort out its advertising. "Pix your life"? For heaven's sake. We should go back to "Just hold a Pentax..."

I like it too but I would also try a tighter crop at the sides. I think you've taken some off the top and/or bottom?
Cheers, Kris.

Nice set. I rather like the clouds behind the chinook, makes a nice change (in photos anyway!) from deep blue skies.

I've used the excellent services of the Siskin Press. Their gallery service is not just getting prints made. He looks at the images, rings you up and discusses paper types and editing, etc. For those few prints you want absolutely perfect, it is a great if not cheap service.
I am, however, getting a little bored with my "exhibition" in my hallway. I'm tempted to get some prints made of my Venice photos but I'll have to find a lab that'll do traditional darkroom enlargements for those.

I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry but I just cannot help myself.
"Fixe's"? The apostrophe is not needed, I fear.
I've spent too much time marking essays. I keep having to clean the red ink from my laptop's screen.
Again, apologies for turning into the grammar police, but that was just a couple of pixels too far.

I'll be happy with anything that gets K-5 owners upgrading in droves and dumping their now obsolete cameras cheaply onto the second hand market...

Thank you for your help crossed-up I will try that when I get my batteries,
What stops the batteries from touching each other or does that not matter.
