  • Reading this makes me think that Adobe have set their minds in one direction and really don't care what anyone thinks. I hope they wake up and realise they're wrong, but I see no sign of it...

  • Yes, that makes a lot of sense. Let's hope someone chooses to be clear about it.
  • As a European reading what those prices were back then, they seem as if they were from a fantasy world. We have never had prices anywhere near that low for the FA Limiteds. You got an amazing...
  • Seconded! I have no experience of the 35 or the 40, but I do use the 21 for wider shots. The 43 has something special about it.
  • I agree the UK pricing is high - it's been that way a long time. The thing I don't agree on is why the pricing is the way it is - my info is that it is NOT the British middlemen and retailers that...
  • To me, the edited version with the light band behind it is an odd shape that I find visually unsettling. I prefer the original or the black background.
  • Just shows how different a turkey vulture is from the Common Buzzard (buteo buteo) seen in Europe and Asia. Not as attractive as hawks. My favourite mis-identification was by someone in Southern...
  • The other thing I notice is that it omits the non-WR versions of the kit lenses. Since this is shown as the US list, does that say more about what the US operation wants to promote, rather than...
  • Is that a change in the way ebay operates? Their website says sellers cannot leave either negative or neutral feedback. I know I've seen seller comments in the past that have not been favourable to...
  • Thanks!
  • I noticed the same thing with my K-30 when I got it a few months ago; seems like they've changed their way of working (or the way they set up the counter).
  • Mike - it seems to me you take good photos, but that doesn't justify you being insulting. How do you know what experience other people have? It seems from what you've said that you are well used to...
  • Having seen the lens mounted on a huge tripod during an open day, I can't imagine anyone trying to handhold it!
  • My initial reaction was that, reading the descriptions given by Pentax, they are desirable but not essential. When they say there are improvements to AF, they don't spell out the criteria. My...
  • I was impressed by the pbase collection, but then I followed the link to the ipa impress site and found not only your video of the still photos of the witches but also a video taken by one of the...
  • I don't know the Sigma, but the FA 28-70 was the first AF lens I bought after I got my first Pentax DSLR. It's very light; easy to carry; and is reasonable to use. I've not had any focus problems...
  • There are some who suggested that they weren't water leaks but the result of over-zealous testing. I wasn't there, so I don't know. If we remember that WR does not mean a waterproof camera, but a...
  • Thanks! Different companies do different things.
  • I put in 1.01 and haven't yet applied 1.02, but in general, I think you're supposed to put the updates on in sequence. I haven't gone looking for the 1.01 file since I updated with it - if it isn't...
  • Those two lenses were the ones I used on my ME Super back in the 1980s; took them round the world with me in 1987 and got hundreds of great shots with them. I still have them and dig them out once...
