  • Replied in Seconded!
    Looks to be another winner.
  • I'm sticking with the K-5 (legacy model) as it outperforms me as a photographer and will for some time to come, I predict. Getting a Ricoh GR for travel - I love its formfactor and the fact it has...
  • Mac, price is fair enough and with a 100K expected life of the shutter there's lots of mileage left on it. I picked up a K-30 the other day for my daughter from SRS who have some interesting stuff...
  • The passing of time
  • Why, because you make your case so eloquently? You are smarter than the rest? More self-righteous? If anything, this thread and the responses in it should have made it crystal-clear that "socially...
  • Created discussions The passage of time
    3 whole minutes to be precise: The passage of time K-5, Sigma 17-70mm/f2.8-4.5, Haida ND64 filter
  • and all of the other things anyone could think of saying. If people eat animals, killing these animals should be done quickly, as painless as possible and in a proper location taking hygiene into...
  • Just a short walk through Warsaw before work today: Old town square Almost B&W Warsaw's only remaining synagogue Warsaw's only remaining synagogue Miasta square under construction Echoes from the...
  • Created discussions Keep forgetting primes...
    I'm a dedicated zoom guy so on this week's business trip to Warsaw I left everything at home except for the SMC-F50mm/f1.7 and the DA35mm/f2.4 This hobby is all about challenging oneself to...
  • Commented on Behind the Shot: Lost in Space article

    I don't get it! None of the negative posters "saw" the shot conceptually to begin with, much less going out in a challenging environment actually mastering equipment which tends to function less,...

  • Check tweakers.net which still has no priceavailable for any of the shops. Kieskeurig lists availability in 4 shops: camera.nl konijnenberg foto-klein en dewinkel.nl
  • Replied in Why afraid?
    What would be wrong with that in your opinion? No different than tuna, shrimp, sardines, whales or cows (or dogs of course). Don't think I've ever tried it but I did taste crocodile, crab, lobster,...
  • Replied in Who are we...
    to judge anyone eating anything? We raise and kill on industrial basis millions of sheep, chickens, turkeys, cows etc. That killing is not any more or less humane than what other countries do to...
  • I still have that feeling about my K20D as well! The K-5 has kind of pushed it into a corner and it sees regular usage by my daughter but whenever I pick it up I feel the love!
  • Newb1, my best tip is to try and manipulate your ISO so that you end up with an F-stop between f8 and f16. Although at the high end you'll lose a bit of sharpness due to diffraction issues. (this...
  • UFRaw is both although its output still needs sharpening. RawTherapee is free but certainly not easy to use if you're not willing to read up on it. Darktable is again free but not easy. Photivo:...
  • Although I shoot Pentax, I could not even begin to agree with you. Canon and Nikon continue to make some of the best camera offerings available in the market. This childish fanboyism is just plain...
  • There really are no bad cameras anymore and you are just starting out. Choose the camera that feels best when you hold it. If you learn what photography is all about in a few years you may be able...
