You are an absolute marvel, Phil. I've been looking at your enlarger lens and mixed perspectives threads as well. Great stuff. What vitamins are you taking, anyway? I'm exhausted just reading your...

I sent in my K20d to C.R.I.S (U.S.) because of a fault in the sensor (discussed at length on this forum at the time - one or two others had experienced the same problem). Response from...

It is Newspeak for "regurgitate clichés".

Thank you for the input, Phil. I know about the good (and solid) feel of the Q, as I recently gave one to my wife (who has hardly touched it).  I am thinking of getting the Q with the standard 02...

Very interesting ... Q?.... MX-1 ...? hmmmm

Just realised after reading a few more threads that"06" refers to the lens. Need to get better into that Q terminology.

Excellent, Phil. Especially the second version. Didn't know you were a Q-user. I am considering one for fun and trawling the threads looking for shots taken with it.

I believe September 15 is the release date.

That looks to me like a starling. What is the Q-06? I've heard of the Pentax Q (which I am considering buying at the cheap price of USD 240), the Q-7 and Q-10, but is there a Q-06? I need to do...

Thank you for the input, Johan. I am about to start a Smugmug trial. Waiting for the week-end, so that it won't be a stop-start-stop thing. As regards the loading speed depending on whether...

Many thanks to all of you responders for inviting me to visit your websites. I have looked at them all and some more than once or twice. Quite an inspiring tour. I am still of two minds, as both...

I'm at work now, but look forward to coming home and going through all your websites. Many thanks.

I have been thinking of setting up a photo website, and I have narrowed my choices down to Smugmug (first choice) and Zenfolio (second choice). I have a photostream on Flickr, but it is quite...

As the owner of about a dozen Pentax lenses, zooms and primes (including the 43 mm) there is no quesiton in my mind that if I had to keep just one of my primes it would be the DA21 Ltd. It is near...

Hmmm ... so bears really do sh*t in the woods, then?

Sorry, Richard. My bad. But I am afraid my transgression was even worse than you thought, because at the time of writing my response I seemed to recollect (note to self: never trust recollection)...

The K-7 is an excellent camera. I sold mine, but only at the insistence of a friend who wanted it. In its place I bought the K-5. I still miss the K-7 a little. It does NOT have the same sensor as...

I had the bright idea of driving out to a tern colony and shooting some terns in flight. I was shooting away, and suddenly SPLAT!  A tern had released a payload of warm sh*t that hit my lens,...
