make a pithy comment or two about the grey market but then I noticed where you were.  Oddly enough, it was going to be our first retirement stop (six months or so in Nelson sounded good) but those...

None of the experts here has mentioned it so perhaps I'm on the wrong track.  If I'm using a flash without a forward-firing capability (Metz 54 and 58 have this), then I'll simply extend (to the...

I'm afraid that I don't understand what "suspicious" means in this case. What are you suspicious of? There's nothing unusual in the limited production of review copies prior to a large-scale...

I just got a large Rogue Flashbender (must be a Futurama spinoff) and found it worked well in a party situation.  Unlike some diffusers I have, there's no light distributed to the rear or sides. ...

For me, it's an SB-26 with Pentax.  The combination works well, as does Metz 54/58 and Pentax using auto mode.  Even though I can use P-TTL with the Metz units I don't bother.

for APS-C/H or FF sensors.  "Wiring" can take a large percentage of the area in front of the photodiode for small sensel sizes, e.g., those found on 1/2.3" sensors, but that percentage drops with...

Pentax does not require (or offer) a warranty card to be sent in to the company.  US warranty service is provided if you send a copy of the dated invoice from a US-based dealer along with your...

I've often wondered about a roughly-accurate formula.  The intent here is not to use the GN to compute ISO/aperture but instead to compare one maker's unit with others.The makers seem to show one...

And reason for Sony to work more closely with Pentax, perhaps.

They do it because it works.  Not with you, apparently, but with enough others that it's worth the time to run a script and flood the forums, email, etc.  Now you know ....

It's been six weeks. Does anyone know how to learn if the person's been charged, or cautioned, or released (from the process) without either?

It's common for intentionally spitting on an emergency worker, or at least a police/correctional officer, to be a crime in its own right. No twisting needed.Getting bodily fluids in one's eye,...

I do, as well. My experience with the British criminal justice system's view of arrest and bail is generally limited to what I read in the Telegraph, Guardian, BBC, Times, etc. "Etc." does not...

I cannot speak for most of the world but that's just how I bought my first K-5 and 18-135 WR. I asked for $135 off the package and got it. Next time I stop in I'll ask about the construction...

remember the last time I read something new in the endless (and stunningly fruitless) discussion over Pentax strategy re: FF.In lieu of something worthy of punditry, I'll turn instead to a decent...

Have you seen Mr. Malcolm's linkedin entry?

The reviewer wrote "entry level", a category into which the D7000 does not fall.

It's called an environmental portrait. :)

I think you misunderstood me. I did not and did not intend to challenge that concept.I will note, though, that if we actually used that as a firm legal premise we would not have arrests, bail,...

The water problem, at least in the SE, could be easily handled: restrict use to essentials, e.g., the Fuller's establishment in Chiswick. ;)
