mottershead Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Welcome to the new Pentax forum on photo.net. This is a place to discuss Pentax equipment. There is also a "Pentax 67" forum for discussion of Pentax's medium-format SLR camera. While discussions of that system are also on-topic in this new forum, you might find that the other forum is better for discussions of that particular system.

ole_tjugen Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 At last - a forum free of Canon vs. Nikon debate! I'll be sure to check back, unless there's too much Pentax vs. C/N... ;) BTW, I use a Pentax MZ-5n (among others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnabdas Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Wow this is good news! Being a Nikon user I frequent the Nikon forum, but I learnt much of photography on a Pentax K1000 -- a gift from my Dad, my first SLR that I still use today. I have a certain sense of gratitude towards the Pentax brand and the infallible K1000. All the best to this new forum! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephen hazelton Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 So can we now post all those "No Words- Albino Squirrels" posts like the Leica folks do? Or are there higher standards in this forum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mottershead Posted September 2, 2003 Author Share Posted September 2, 2003 No Words threads aren't on-topic in this forum. We are probably going to have a No Words forum soon, rather than having those posts in equipment-specific forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gauthier Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 I've been wanting such a forum for a long time, but now that it is issued in the same time as the "classic cameras" forum, I wonder where is the best place to discuss the issues I have with my Spotmatic and my old Takumar glass?

conrad_drake Posted September 8, 2003 Share Posted September 8, 2003 Ah, finally. Thanks Brian. <p> As for "no words". Pah! My predictions for the top repeated topics are: <ol> <li> are the limiteds better than a 50/1.4 super tak? <li> how do I get my 50/1.4 super tak off this !@#$%ng zenit body? <li> why can't I find an adapter to mount my PK lense on a leica a.k.a. why are pentax shutters SO LOUD? <li> where can I get parts for my MX/LX/Spotmatic TLA? <p>and my favorite... <li> Where is the K-mount digital? </ol> The last will, of course, degenerate into a discussion of how the <a href=http://cameraquest.com/pentx110.htm">Pentax System 10</a> is just perfect for the current crop of sensors & Pentax should re-visit that mount. <p>On the quiet shutter question, I'm investigating fitting a K mount onto an old Braun. I'll report when I pull my finger out & the local pentax guru stops laughing at me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david j.lee Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 i have never owned neither a nikon or a canon. my father used to shoot with his beloved spotmatic ( that i now own...), and that was the reason why i bought an me super with my first salary. i still have it, along with a superA, and a beautiful LX ,and plenty of great lenses, both from my dad and bought used. i also use leicas and always stop at the leica forum before going to bed to see what`s new,i hope this forum will bring me as much information and joy as the leica one does!! david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge_oliveira2 Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 "We are probably going to have a No Words forum soon, rather than having those posts in equipment- specific forums." Brian I can just hear the guys that post mostly to show that the XYZ lens in the ABC brand body are superior to any other brands yelling! Thanks for this forum - I've been a Spotmatic/ESII user for over 30 yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith_merrill Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 I absolutely love the fact that there is a pentax forum now. Pentax makes good stuff and has never failed me. I have to congragulate photo.net for its decision, it always seemed to me that a slight bias against pentax seemed to exist, hmmm? For the record, I use a P645nII, Pz-1p and an MX with some kick booty FA, limited, and M primes that always seem to wow me. I have never gone into a camera store with the intention of buying a pentax but they just seem to fit in my hand and work the way I want them to. Cheers.

gjm1 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 A welcome idea, thanks Brain. We poor Pentax users can now talk about our unprofessional equipment without bothering all the C\N\L owners and the discussions about their serious "professional" equipment. :-) LOL Thank you Brain, Gord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
