Peter, Thanks. I came upon this site too. There are some positive comments on DPReview, but I have more confidence in reviews from a group of familiar people. Rick > On Dec 2, 2021, at 6:00 PM, P T Stevens wrote: > > This is an old listing, they may be still be in business. > >

Re: PESO - Early Morning Abstract

Ann, I’m glad you like the pic! There is a family of “Pentax forum” websites, but I don’t think they have anything to do with Compuserve’s forums of yore. About 1983 or ‘84 I got my first computer at work, but there were no network connections. A couple of years later it was connected to the

PESO - Early Morning Abstract

I think it was back when the list was the Pentax Forum on CompuServe that we had a somewhat cantankerous member who lived out west. One day he was driving from Arizona to California, when he learned that snow had closed the roads over the mountains. So, he got a room at the nearest motel. To

Re: K-70 repair recommendations?

Apparently it isn't a difficult repair. The problem is finding a solenoid that won't fail. Apparently Pentax changed suppliers and the new units are failure prone. My understanding is the new ones are one colour, I recall white, and the old ones are green, though I might have it backwards. If I'm

Rick, I’m not so much shooting for one particular need, I just don’t have any good recent photos. I did want to get some photos of my full beard before I trimmed it back to what it is now. I also don’t have any decent photos of myself with long hair. I haven’t had long hair since 2004. I

Re: Live view, arrggh

Friendly critique: You have the camera set too low. It's pointing at your chest, so the viewer gets a good look up your nose and an uncomfortable feeling that you're leaning back. I think I understand you're trying to avoid the double chin look, but that can be done other ways. There could
