  • If only it were available TODAY, I'd jump at that price. What a travel kit!
  • Replied in Q7?
    That is a fabulous looking set!
  • Replied in Just curious
    How, exactly, do you make the intuitive leap from probably will be making cameras (the article) to probably won't exist (your reading)? How can a sentence in an article mean that a company that...
  • And still others will continue with/go back to dSLRs with mirrors (and bright optical viewfinders).
  • Replied in Strike that!
    Eagle-eye Brandrx has spotted it and commented. Always reliable, Brandrx. Too bad I can't delete this thread. But in the "old days" there would be 25 threads with several hundred comments (......
  • Created discussions K-5II and K5IIs review
    No comments yet on the K-5 II and K-5 IIs review? I must be missing something. Wonderful review, I must say. Gold award for a Pentax product? Well, I'll be...
  • As others have indicated, it really depends on what you mean by "loose". The tubes are  "looser" than those in my Pentax/Tamron 18-250 (which won't budge) and the tube in my Pentax 55-300 (just...
  • Precisely my feeling. Was about to write just about the same thing when I saw your post.
  • There are many.Bryan Peterson's Understanding Photography (Field Guide) and Understanding Exposure are both excellent. Michael Freeman's The Photographer's Eye and the Photographer's Mind are also...
  • I just checked, and there is indeed and it is quite vicious (see: http://www.abbysguide.com/vacuum/discussions/64081-0-1.html)
  • Well shot, Lloyd. You weren't wearning a fur coat or a Rudolf costume by any chance, were you? :-D
  • As I understand it, you are talking about miy post. Here is what I said:"I have the Canon G12 as a backup for my dSLRs, but if I needed a small travel camera this one would come in as a strong...
  • Replied in Thank you
    You have some excellent shots there, Dick. Thanks for joining in with your samples.Something tells me that there may be an 18-135 waiting for me in Florida when I finally get down there in June.To...
  • Replied in Thank you Dan
    Preciselly the kind of discussion I was looking for. Much appreciated.
  • Replied in Nonsense
    If you scrutinise this and other forums carefully you will find that there many posters who can see no obvious reason why Pentax or [insert your favourite brand here] can't manufacture a 560 mm...
  • Could you elaborate a bit?I have the Pentax 18-250 and although I am not unhappy with it as a convenient walkabout I find that I  don't use it much. In fact, the 18-250 hasn't seen use for well...
  • I like the look of these. I have the Canon G12 as a backup for my dSLRs, but if I needed a small travel camera this one would come in as a strong contender.
  • Well done!I used the word "blemish" in my post, which on more careful consideration is false. "Distraction" was the " mot juste". If you had posted the shot after silently removing the soft boxes,...
  • Lovely shots and lighting. Good looking kids too.The reflected soft boxes in the eyes in the first are a blemish, but I'm sure you know that there are numerous ways (of varying complexity) to fix...
  • But since I shoot mostly landscapes I'd have to relocate to a bigger country than Iceland to get enough distance between me and my motif.
