25mm f/1.8 sounds very interesting indeed but for the price I'd be amazed if it's even close to being sharp at maximum aperture.

I think it's easy to see what's what and I welcome (very much) the recent increased focus on the enjoyment of photography because, as we're all aware, DPR has a very large proportion of users who...

"It’s a situation that leaves APS-C users with poor choices and the arguably false impression that by buying these poorly-suited lenses, they’re making progress along an upgrade path (a fallacy...

For excellent and affordable film cameras likely to be found in good condition today I would say - Pentax MX and KX, Pentax SP1000, and Minolta SRT-101 (or any other SRT). They're all very similar...

I've used an app called "Helmut" to do this but the results were very low resolution, even when using files loaded onto my phone from my K3. If this goes ahead it would be nice, but I wish someone...

Yes, I have the standard version with "A" setting to use on my original film 645.

Pentax made a manual focus 75mm f/2.8 leaf shutter version of their standard 75/2.8 lens for the film 645, I believe that would allow flash sync up to 1/500s. I think though that it lacked the "A"...

It's nice and refreshing to read an article which focuses more on the joys of photography and camera use and less on technical aspects of the gear. Well done and thanks

The mirrorless mount versions will essentially have a built-in adapter to cover the space that would be occupied by the mirror box on the SLRs. They will not be any smaller than the SLR versions...

Some of the images are very nice but I suspect most would be nicer with a different lens. This is massively over-priced for what it is and it's hard to imagine why people would pay the kickstarter...

Lady Grey is changing to Fomapan 400, it used to be T-Max.

Nice review of what seems like a fantastic lens. I think it's a bit bigger and heavier than my 1980s Pentax "M" 85mm f/2...

I don't understand why the end states it's not so good for landscapes...

I'll stick with my adapters and wealth of fantastic legacy fast fifties, almost all of which are faster (and smaller) than this. £450 for a 50/2 when so many other 50mm lenses are out there is a...

It's the same factories. The film business (which was still profitable) was spun off to the Kodak UK pension fund and re-named Kodak Alaris. They produce all Kodak's film now using the same...

More film is always good news but unless this is considerably cheaper than what Fuji offer in E6 films then I won't shoot it for the same reason - price. Having said that, the price of good colour...

Mesmerising

The best photographic item I bought this year was the Fujinon 35mm f/1.4, just a couple of weeks ago.  I've been using it since then and it's simply amazing. Other notable items would be the Pentax ...

I saw these and looked into the 35/1.7 but the only review I found stated that it was only sharp in the very centre wide open and the edges didn't sharpen up until f/8.  I decided to stick with my ...

Wow, I can't believe there are no comments here. I don't know how many times I read this review before buying the K200D as my first "proper" camera. What a great machine. Many thanks to DPR for...

I often process RAWs in-camera so that I can get a photo how I want it to be for immediate use on social media or for sending to friends and family. No need to wait for a computer to be available....
