It all depends on what you do with that negative. Printing it from a glass carrier with a super enlarger lens or scanning it on an Imacon might yield something better than a 12 or even a 20 megapixel camera can produce. But very few are able to generate that kind of output. My K-5 pics are far b

I couldn't tell you either. It's working today. Most likely a problem on my end. From: "P. J. Alling" I don't know what to tell you, it opens fine from both my machines, so I'm going to have a hard time diagnosing the problem. On 6/30/2011 8:36 PM, John Sessoms wrote: > From: "P. J. Alling"

OT: DRAT!

I've got my final print portfolio for school due in two weeks. Working on one of the images to make everything *PERFECT* before I send it off to the lab for printing, I kept getting these strange errors in Photoshop "No more virtual tiles can be allocated". Took a while to figure out my hard-di

RE: TOTALLY OT, but proud mummy needs your help!!

That's really funny cause there was a big hoo-ha last week about Naomi Campbell and racial stereotypes and somebody in the media making a reference (in America) about her not being able to be cast as The Milky Bar Kid, so I had thought that it must be in the US too. Thanks heaps for all of those v

Re: Is Ricoh Going to Buy Pentax????????

Ricoh did get out of the SLR business during the AF era (to some extent, they actually continued to sell MF film SLR's until recently, but the body was a Cosina) although they did have a longtime presence in the high-end compact side of things with their GR compacts (which are simply awesome). But

Re: Is Ricoh Going to Buy Pentax????????

It does make me wonder about Pentax's EVIL/MILC/Whatever plans. I wonder if they will continue with the APS-C K mount version or combine efforts with and produce a K mount module. On Fri, Jul 1, 2011 at 7:44 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: > So will the new badge be Rictax or Pentoh? > > Sent from my iP
