Re: Pentax DA 18-135 zoom

Well, my friend used to shoot Pentax, moved to a Canon D-Rebel, because Pentax didn't have a presence in either the local Camera store or any of the big box/home electronics stores, and became dissatisfied with the results from that, (mostly the fault of the krappy kit lens and krappier 28-300mm Si

Thank you, Frank! I wasn't crazy about the color rendering at all. But, I liked the horse's stance a lot -- almost posed-looking. So, I converted it to black and white so that its stance was more essential to the image, and thought it worked. -- Walt On 3/15/2012 8:52 AM, knarftheria...@gma

First of all that is indeed a wonderful photo; I remember it well and I know I've already passed on that opinion. As for the contest, I'll echo what many others have already said about it being a popularity contest, the large number of entries giving those at the top of the list an advantage, e

Re: PESO: Snowdrop

I don't know how many versions there were. But the first one, which is generally considered the best, is very heavy and is of thick metal construction. It can focus on objects at up to 1: 2 imaging -- half size on the negative or sensor. It comes with an optical adapter that attaches to the rear

Ok, maybe my expectations were too high. Probably I have read some reviews of recent Oly's or Panny's with AF 'almost as good if not better than DSLRs' and I expected something similar instead of something average. Anyway, I can live with it in a mirrorless, but not with the mentioned LCD/EVF
