I concur. When I am teaching workshops, I regularly have to use Nikon, Canon and the like, depending upon what cameras the attendees bring (and of course, ask questions about), it usually just takes me a few minutes to locate the "important stuff" and then, I'm away.
In saying that, I agree with Paul - I would never have different bodies/brands for the one shoot - the biggest reason for me would be the requirement of carrying different proprietory gear such as flash guns, sync leads etc - I need to be able to grab something quickly and know that it will work with whatever I am shooting by way of lights, filters, light modifiers etc. To carry around all of this stuff to suit both Pentax and another brand would be a huge pain in the arse. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Roberts Sent: Friday, 26 August 2011 4:40 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Best 80-200mm?

The differing controls/interface isn't as big a deal as you would expect. I deal with it when I'm shooting with both my K5 and my A850 and it's not much trouble. I generally keep the A850 in one configuration and change the K5 when conditions require it but it's not a huge problem if I ever decide to change something on the Sony. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
