Is The Great Zucker Drought nearing an end? Is so, it is cause to rejoice! :-) Matt

Oh, that's the son of Karlheinz, is it not? Sounds like a very interesting concert indeed! If I happen to be in Hamburg on business (in October, correct?) you may see me around! :-) Hamburg is a...

Hi, We live about a 3 hour-drive from Hamburg, it's an amazing town I'm sure you'll love it. I'm no expert, but I do know the nightlife is great there. There are entire neighborhoods strewn with...

Yep. How it feels in the hand is enormously important. You should focus on enjoying your hobby. If you experience pleasure from holding a particular device, buy that one! You're having fun before...

This is utter rubbish. M

DPR: Will we receive a pre-production unit of the upcoming Pentax DSLR flagship so we have a scoop that others do not? Pentax Ricoh: Will you finally get around to reviewing our other cameras?...

Jeff, to me, it just sounds like their website was unable to handle the sudden surge in traffic. I'd try waiting a bit and starting over again. Matt

Hi Stig, I don't know if it's "ultimate sharpness @ 300mm" I need, but you may be right, it may be better to own the 300 if that's the focal length I want. I currently own the A 70-210, and when I...

for this that would please me if accurate: 1. The next body is going to drive lens sales (of FA limiteds in particular... :-) ) and Pentax wants to profit as much as possible from that wave of...

I'm trying to decide which I would rather have, assuming I can get the funds together.Would love to here your experiences. Pros and cons I've got so far: DA* 200 + Teleconverter Pros: -On APS/C,...

Thanks Andrew, tried to mark your post as the answer as well, but apparently you can only mark one post as "the" answer. Nonetheless thank you very much for responding with useful and correct...

Thanks, I feared as much!

And if so, which optical system is doing the focussing in this combo, the lens or the converter? Are the 1.7AF converters currently being produced? Or are they only available used? Thanks, Matt

Just as a reminder...before the K5, k7, k10, *istDS, and certainly before the *istD was announced, the level of dissatisfaction and moaning was perhaps even more intense than it is right now. Each...

Edges could very easily be a result of field curvature.

Good points, Realeyes. Still, DPR is not a PR portal. It's a review site. If I want manufacturer press releases, I know where to get them. I'd rather see original content and links to releases...

The preview is great. But that's not the point. They're publishing this release under the heading of "news." Sorry, this isn't news. It's an advertisement. If I want to read 2500 words of tactless...

And a side note to DPR: If they send a bloated, ungrammatical marketing text full of hot air in the guise of a press release, no one is forcing you to publish it verbatim. That's called free...

Hire a native speaker (of English!) to translate your press releases Panasonic, this is embarrassing.

The writing at DPR is improving (kudos to you for taking great writing seriously!) with the new ringers you've brought on board, but "the GR can shoot at 1/4000th of a second at F5.6 and smaller,...
