Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit
For me, the MX was an ideal size for a walk around body.The E-P1 serves that purpose now. It's not ideal composing on the LCD but at least this camera stays out of the way when I'm doing whatever else I was there to do. Although I am taking the E-P1 and the K7 on a trip to Disney World /wedding in KC next week. I'm thinking the E-P1 with the 20 and the K7 with the FA 20-35, 50 1.4 and the 135 2.8. I thought about taking the monopod in my checked luggage but I'll never probably take it anywhere I go once i get there. On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 2:47 PM, P. J.

Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit :-)
I must say his problem with the rear e-wheel sounds much like the problem I had with my *ist-Ds, but that happened after about 4 years of use, and was easily fixed with tuner cleaner, bought at Radio Shack. As the electrical contacts for the e-wheel on the 645D is behind a weather seal it might not be so easily remedied. On 11/13/2010 11:51 AM, Christine Aguila wrote: Just got this review of the D645.

Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit :-)
Christine, You're making trouble again! As if the list with the K-5 and lenses wasn't expensive enough at $6K+, now you point out the 645D for $10K w/o lenses! I haven't got enough photography equipment to sell to raise that kind of money. Regards, Bob S.

Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit :-)
If it will help at all, you can do _much_ larger than 13x19 with your current kit should you ever decide to. My neighbor is a free-lance window designer for clothing retailers. He had a few shots from my K20D printed on a kind of plastic coated paper at sizes ranging from three feet by two up to three feet square and mounted on flat wood frames for use as backdrops. I pixel peeped the printing quality and it's really good. The printing process adds in some grain (from the colour dithering, I expect; I doubt it's any more than a 4-ink CMYK process) and no sign of pixelization from the blown-up image was visible. We hung these images in a small gallery in June-July and they look just terrific on a large wall. I can only just image how fine the 645D images look done on a large format printer at 3 by 5 feet. drool :) -bmw On 10-11-13 2:18 PM, P. J. Alling wrote: Good review, still too rich for my blood.

Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit :-)
A dream kit should be wonderful, albeit expensive. It's nice to see Pentax finally make this camera and make it what the old 645 was in the film world.

Ralf Removed the batteries and Just sprayed it in from the outside. Exercised the wheel, and let it sit for a half an hour to make sure that all of the volatiles had evaporated. Cleaned the outside with a soft cloth, put the batteries back in and everything worked like a charm. If however it doesn't work or makes things worse don't blame me. I wasn't sure it would work. -- His lack of education is more than compensated for by his keenly developed moral bankruptcy. -Woody Allen -- 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.
