Re: Mouldering film camera survey
Well, if I list all of my Pentax film cameras it will be a *very* sad list. I'm a collecter so I have quite a number of them, including lots of Espios that I picked up for a few bucks each. But, if I restrict myself to those that I've actually used more than once or twice, the list goes something like this. ES Spotmatic F KX Super A P50 SFXn Z20 MZ-5 Espio 105SW Zoom 70 I've just has a nice Spotmatic II refurbished so there'll be a roll or two of film going through that shortly. Then there's the non-Pentax contingent - Konica Autoreflex T3, Olympus Ace E, Olympus Trip 35, Zeiss Ikon Nettar 518/16 Am I sad or what Cheers Brian ++ Brian Walters Western Sydney, Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ http://www.blognow.com.au/peso1/ http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/brianwalters Quoting William Robb [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Here is a sad survery.

On 06/12/07, John Francis, discombobulated, unleashed: Nope. That's my cold dead hands film camera. It was my first K-mount body (thirty years ago - how time flies ...), and I was lucky enough to pick up a New In Box motor drive about ten years ago. My second MX was bought purely as a spare in case the first one dies. Same here. I bought my MX (black) in 1979 from Techno in the Euston Road (London) for either 106 or 104 GBP, body only. Also a 28mm 2.8 on the same day, although I can't remember the price of the lens. Drives, winders, more bodies have come and gone since then, but the camera and lens (and a winder) sit retired on a shelf with a couple of other cameras.

Dave -Adam On 12/6/07, Charles Robinson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've come to praise my local camera store, not bury it. Some of you have seen my plaintive rant about how my DS is not functioning well with my Sandisk Ultra II cards I've just purchased. I went to the store where I purchased my camera, ready to plead my case for why my extended warranty (which had just expired) ought to be extended enough to cover this issue. I was just about done with outlining the problems I'd been having for a while - pointing out that they had started long before the warranty had expired, when the manager of the store came up behind the clerk I was talking to and said 3-4 weeks? We can make that work Then - this is great - he prints out my original purchase information and it shows that my extended warranty is good until November of 2008. I was OFF by a year. And even better: As he strolled back from the printer, he stopped at the used camera cabinet, pulled out an istDL, and brought it back with him. It could take a couple of months for your camera to come back, so you can use this in the meantime. Wow! So, the total time for me to stop, explain my case, and be out of the store with a functioning (interim) camera was just over 10 minutes. It is clear to me that if I am going to purchase a Pentax someday to upgrade my DS, it's going to be at that store and I'll probably cough up the extra $100 for the extended warranty again. I carry this one camera (or its future replacement) around way too much to want to risk it screwing it up. There are those who will argue that the extended warranty is a waste of money, but in my case it has paid off. So do what your heart tells you, but I sure know what works for me and my peace of mind! -Charles PS: The store was National Camera Exchange in Golden Valley, MN.

Also a 28mm 2.8 on the same day, although I can't remember the price of the lens. Drives, winders, more bodies have come and gone since then, but the camera and lens (and a winder) sit retired on a shelf with a couple of other cameras. I'll be buried with the MX ;-) you got a bargain. I bought mine in 1979 for £125- from a shop in Leeds. I gave up smoking for a year to get the money together. It's now in my safe with my Contaxes. I've also had several other MXs over the years, but have always hung on to the original, and suspect I always will. I bought it because I was planning to hitchhike around Europe with a girlfriend for a few months, and I wanted something better than my first SLR, a Zenith.

Re: Mouldering film camera survey
None, In fact I've only got 2 35mm cameras at present, a Nikon F2a and a Minolta Maxxum 7. The llatter was part of a planned move to Sony, but my dissatisfaction with Minolta/Sony metering (Their matrix meter is useless) put a hold on that. So the Maxxum 7 is for sale ($200 w/ 35-70 f4 if anyone's interested, I've also got a 24-105 f3.5-4.5 D and 28/2.8 for it) I sold off my last Pentax film gear (A Spotmatic a Chinon CM-3) to pay for my DS a couple months ago. I'm still shooting film, just not 35mm much these days. Quite happy with my Mamiya 645's though. -Adam William Robb pisze: Here is a sad survery.

Why all the vitriol, Bob? It's just a camera. If you don't want one, don't need what it offers above and beyond the K10D or feel that it doesn't suit your needs, just ignore it.

Even if it came out at the same price as the current K10D! These cameras are not works of art in themselves ala the spotmatic, MX, LX, etc., and so will have the life of a computer. They'll be no such thing as a 2005 model, as bargain old model on sale will be marked circa 10:30 AM. The handiest camera size (physically) for me is generally about the current size of 35 mm cameras. This means that the available space inside the light box for a sensor is about what we call full frame. That's the sensor real estate I want, and It's the only real estate I'll buy from now on. For a full frame at ~15 megapixels or better body from Pentax I'd pay ~ $2500 . If Pentax can't make it available in the next year or so, you may well find all my gear on ebay as I build the capital to buy the bodies with the full frame sensors I want and the lenses to go with them.

Re: Full-frame Pentax?
I don't think you guys get it. Pentax makes money selling lenses. They have been crippled by having too much good product already in consumer hands. So now digital comes along and the crop changes. This is a great opportunity to replace the whole lens line-up with new stuff. The consumer will buy new (good for Pentax) and get modern, lightweight, autofocus designs. Pentax will get more income and lose the burden of all this backward compatibility. Once the 1.5X crop factors lens line is complete, and everybody is buying them, Pentax will launch the Full Frame camera and switch back to full frame lenses. But now the full frame stuff will be lightweight, autofocus with focus touch-up, and no messy aperture settings. So in the next 10 years, you will need to purchase 2 new, complete lines of lenses. The first is just coming out now... fast, zooms, some with USM's and highly praised. The second will come out once we get to a Full Frame sensor. The features will be updated, and of course they will cover a full frame sensor. It's just strategy folks, nothing personal... Regards, Bob S.

I'm disappointed that it's APS-sized - I'd much prefer fewer pixels in a larger area - but I won't damn its performance in advance like so many did with the K10D. (I ordered a K10D about 15 minutes after it first appeared on the BH web site!) Still, I'm nervous enough about 14MP/APS that, unlike the K10D, I'll wait until there are some solid test reports from users before I spend my money. I'm very happy with my K10D so I can afford to be cautious. In fact, the biggest obstacle to the success of the K20D (or whatever) may be that the K10D is going to be a tough act to follow. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
Re: Full-frame Pentax? No, but this is coming:
There's resent speculation that the sensor is Canon APS-H more or less with a 1.25-1.3 crop factor. I didn't save the link. However I feel better about having not yet bought a K10D as I may simply skip a generation and go to the K20D, if the high ISO noise characteristics are reasonable, (if not I should be able to get quite a bargain on either a used or remaindered K10D).

Re: Full-frame Pentax? No, but this is coming:
if their noise reduction algoritms are the same as in the E510, NR at high ISO is crap, as far as I could see on the samples I could look at.

We whine when we don't get it. Pentax doesn't keep up with Canon/Nikon on the leading edge of technology. Well, they need more profit from their customers to do this, and here is a way to do it.

A guy at the photo store yesterday had one and I thought it looked pretty nice. Was the MV1 the same as (or very similar to) the MV? I briefly had an MV. Aperture priority only, no indication of shutter speed at all. If the meter showed green, it was somewhere between 1/30 and 1/500 or maybe 1/1000. You had to count stops on your aperture up or down from red (on the meter) to figure out the aproximate shutter speed. There was not even any optical viewfinder window in which to see the aperture - you had to look at the ring or count clicks. Cheap black plastic housing. ~Very~ basic camera. I bought it because I bought an MX body-only, and needed a lens. $25 on eBay, including an M 2.0 50mm (very capable lens!). Bought it for the lens, and I found that I used the MV more often than I thought I might. It made a good second k mount body in the absence of anything else. Lasted 6 months and then crapped out.

Current camera classics? WAS:Re: Mouldering film camera survey
Godfrey, you view is certainly logical, if a bit dispassionate. I tend to impart a soul and personality to my possessions (and indeed items I want but will never own for lack of funds). I'm wondering if you had posters of cars, bikes or whatever on your walls as a teenager. I admire gadgets and equipment. I'm sure I give them more importance than they're really worth. I guess my point with the post was to say that nobody will have any of the current crop of digital cameras in five to ten years time. We'll have dumped them for newer models or binned them because they're dead and cannot be repaired. And to contrast that with the thread about cameras we own and can't quite bring ourselves to sell even if we're not using them is interesting God help the poor prat who tries to send Pentax his K10 for service or even a CLA in 2015 let alone 2037.

Re: Full-frame Pentax? No, but this is coming:
Personally, I'm happy with APS-C. Especially combined with SR. And that's how I'm building my lens kit. I've had a chance to shoot a Nikon D3 (Guy I know was VERY high on the waiting list). It's quite nice, and the IQ is incredible. But it's not the camera for me. Overly large without the option of losing the grip for a smaller but slower profile. My dream camera would be a Nikon D300(Which I've also shot with) with SR, the K10D's exposure modes and the DMF mode and AF/MF button from the A700. -Adam On 12/7/07, Mark Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Who has a 14 megapixel APS CMOS sensor? It's probably the Pentax-designed sensor we've been hearing about for a few years, with manufacturing done by some large semiconductor maker. I'm disappointed that it's APS-sized - I'd much prefer fewer pixels in a larger area - but I won't damn its performance in advance like so many did with the K10D. (I ordered a K10D about 15 minutes after it first appeared on the BH web site!) Still, I'm nervous enough about 14MP/APS that, unlike the K10D, I'll wait until there are some solid test reports from users before I spend my money. I'm very happy with my K10D so I can afford to be cautious.
