Re: A Review and A Rethink on my Dream Pentax Kit :-)
Nice article in terms of details. The results are similar to what I've read elsewhere, except that the Phase One itself is actually tested. I was amused by the Canon/Leica comparison.

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
Kodak DCS/DCS-100 had interchangeable finders, being essentially an F3HP with a bunch of crap stuck on. Also the Hasselblad H3D/II/H4D models do (which are all digital-only bodies, not film bodies with digital backs). -Adam On Sun, Nov 14, 2010 at 2:47 PM, P. J.

Aha? My DS has the same problem to an extent that it's almost unusable. Now, have you opened the camera to apply the tuner cleaner or have you just sprayed it in from the outside? Ralf -- Ralf R.

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. :) -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 :-)
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. On Sat, Nov 13, 2010 at 10:51 AM, Christine Aguila wrote: > Just got this review of the D645.

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.

I had to laugh at this line: "All but the most die-hard Pentaxians despaired." It should say ESPECIALLY the die-hard Pentaxians despaired LOL --M.
