Tips for travelling with an SLR?

Hi, i have a DSLR, and i’m going to Nepal for a month. Since Nepal is not a hugely safe country, and i will be exposing my camera to risks – thieves, rain, being damaged in my pack, etc – does anyone have tips? What should i do when travelling with it? It is a Pentax k200d with an 18-250mm lens, in a camera bag. I will be trekking (Annapurnna) for approximately 10 days, will be spending time in Pokhara, Kathmandhu and other places, and will possibly be volunteering at an orphanage for a week. I am 15, and will be with a group of other young people, with three adults. I’m going in November, which is in winter i believe, but i’m unsure of the weather. I will be taking out insurance on my camera, but dont really want to have to make a claim!
Does anyone have advice? Where should i keep my camera? Are thieves likely to be a problem? What to do with it while trekking? How to protect it from weather, damage etc? And most importantly – how should i carry it? round my neck? in my pack?

1. Your camera bag should be good enough.
2. Stick with an adult at all times.

Pentax K100d Body

Pentax K100d Body
What camera would be recommended for a newbie, the pentax k100d, nikkon 40d or the cannon eos rebel xti?

I am using a point and shoot now. I want to upgrade cameras to follow my children growing up and I have no experience of any kind in photography but love gadgets. Looking to post pics online and order prints online as well. In addition what two lenses should I purchase if I was only looking at getting a body.

A DSLR is a nice step up but you’ll get the most benefit from learning photography. As has been said, a good photographer produces better pics with a bad camera than a bad photographer does with a good camera.

I wouldn’t even consider the 40d, I don’t like the last of an autofocus motor in the camera. This means every lens you buy will need to have AF in the lens. You’ll save money on the body and pay more in the long run for the lens.

This brings the comparison to the Pentax and the Canon. 100D has Image Stabilization (IS) built into the camera. This allows you to take a shot with a slower shutter speed and it drastically reduces any blur. If you were going to take a picture at 1/80th of a second, you can now take one at 1/20th with little to no blur. Great for low-light.

The Canon doesn’t provide IS in its cameras, it does it in the lens instead. So while you can get it, you’ll pay more for that lens, generally a few hundred more.

My opinion is that the Pentax gives the most flexibility.

Here’s a rebate on Pentax camera. (http://www.pentaximaging.com/files/scms_docs//picturep.dslr.rebate___050107.pdf)

I’d suggest the camera, the P DA 50-200mm lens mentioned in the rebate and if you expect to need something for low light, a prime lens (single distance like 50mm or 85mm instead of a range) at either f/1.8 or even f/1.4. The 18-55mm lens is another good one.

Pentax Wpi

Pentax Wpi
I’m looking into getting an outdoor camera.?

So i have it narrowed down to these two: olympus stylus tough 8000 vs Pentax Optio WPi.
The problem is alot of reviews show that the Olympus takes blury pics, i do want a rugged camera but not at the expence of photo quality, thats where i think the pentax comes in and is the direction i am leaning, i think the real question is. Does anyone out there know of a better model that takes superior quality photos, can get a lil dinged up, and hold the same compact…ness?

There is another Optio model that is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. Glass quality is surely great as it’s a Pentax. It’s all up to you now to take superior quality photos.

what pentax camera sensor size is compatible with the pentax smcp-da 40mm f/2.8 limited for large format paint?

my largest painting and drawings are 4×5 feet, i need to see detail in my prints

Hi Dennis,

Pentax has only had one sensor size so far for DSLRs — “APS-C”, approximately 24mm x 16mm. The 40/2.8 pancake is compatible with them all.

If you’re interested, the 40/2.8 also fills a 35mm film frame, which is about 24mm x 36mm, and it works on Pentax K-mount film SLRs. But if you’re looking to capture the most detail, even the best film would be challenged to compete with current DSLRs.

More to the point, though — why do you want to do this with the 40/2.8? It’s an odd choice for that task. The 40/2.8 is usually chosen for casual walkaround use because it is extremely tiny and lightweight. It makes a small DSLR like the k-x or k-r almost as convenient to carry around as a compact point & shoot.

But your task is much more serious — capturing lots of detail in quite large paintings and drawings. Frankly that’s a lot to ask of the 40/2.8. Instead I would suggest looking at a good macro lens. Macros are generally much better at keeping the field of focus flat (it’s curved in most lenses) and minimizing distortion. Also they’re great at capturing detail.

I think almost any macro Pentax has made since the late 1960s would be a better choice for your quite serious task than the fun-loving little pancake. The SMCP-D FA 50mm f/2.8 would be an excellent choice, or to spend less I’d look at a used SMCP-F 50mm f/2.8 or SMCP-FA 50mm f/2.8. Here’s one:

Pentax Digital Camera – The best pentax digital camera reviews

History

Pentax, a popular brand in the digital world, is completely owned brand of Hoya Corporation. The company was found by Kumao Kajiwara in Tokyo, Japan during the year 1919. The Pentax digital camera was the first candidate to slot in a pentaprism view finder and a response mirror setup.

During 1960’s, a campaign slogan for Pentax spoke “just hold a Pentax”. That little statement was more than enough to speak for Pentax.

Market Capture

In the year 2005, Pentax Corporation clubbed with Samsung Techwin to do work in the field of camera technologies and retook market from Canon and Nikon. Then both of these majors started manufacturing new DSLR products from this collaboration. The Pentax *istDS2 and *istDL2 models were also seen as the Samsung GX-1S and GX-1L

Products

The cameras that were manufactured by Pentax Corporation during 1960’s-70 were compact and functional, with smooth controls for operating. The design of the body was simple and clean, with not many fancy trappings. No sooner did you picked one up and held it; your hands knew that it had a precision device capable of delivering the highest quality results.

As such Pentax manufactures a large range of digital cameras, ranging from tiny point & shoots till full-featured SLRs; the major business of the company is composed by its compact Optio series of cameras. Some of the latest digital cameras from Pentax are the Pentax K200D, Pentax K20D, Pentax Optio W60, Pentax K10D.

The Pentax K20D digital SLR model follows the footsteps of the company’s successful K10D model. The K20D camera is a newly manufactured 14.6-megapixel with CMOS sensor. The Pentax K20D continues to provide both; the dust-reduction policies used in the K10D as well as K100D cameras like vibration of the sensor which will remove the dust particles. Pentax has even included a “dust alert” functionality which helps more leaning methods, by locating exactly on which part of the sensor do the stubborn dust particles reside.

Pentax Battery Grip

Pentax Battery Grip
Topcon RE Super/Super D 250 film Magazine and battery grip….?

I have recently bought a Topcon RE Super/Super D 250 film Magazine and I was wondering if the Honeywell Pentax Motor drive (motor drive + battery grip) would fit under the film magazine. Or is the Honeywell Pentax Motor drive only for the camera? Like can I attach the film magazine to my Topocn RE camera and the Honeywell Pentax Motor drive all together?

Thanks

No. That is like asking if your Chevy can use Toyota pistons.

You will have to look for a Topcon motor drive.

Background:

At one time (1960′s and early 1970′s) it was one of the recognized professional 35 mm SLR cameras, along with Pentax (1964) and Nikon.
(1959)
Pentax and Nikon just had more lenses and other accessories available and were picked by many papers as their cameras of choice, so Topcon faded into the sunset. Canon’s first professional camera did not show up until the introduction of the Canon F-1 (1971) and then in 1988, Canon dropped that system in favor of the current EOS system

Nothing is In A Name

Sony, Nike, Gucci, BT, Microsoft, Ford, Armani… and so on, names we come across in daily life, these are top “manufacturer brands”, then there are Tesco, Next, M&S, GAP, Burberry, Virgin etc, these are top “retail brands”. Most of us are very familiar with these brands as we have seen them around for a long time and have grown to trust them, we know who they are and what to expect from their products.

It is also common practice for people to become brand loyal too, i.e. you try and like the products of a brand and then stick to that brand, or buy a product like a Fuji digital camera and use a Fuji memory card to go with it. In fact, the brands actively encourage brand loyalty e.g. if you buy an Epson printer, the company’s literature will encourage the use of Epson ink cartridges.

Many people are then surprised, to learn that their famous brand camera, watch, car, clothing, computer etc, is not actually made by the company whose name appears on the product, but by another company they perhaps have never heard of. This company is known as the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) being the actual manufacturer of the product which is sold under it’s own brand, or the brand of another company, often using that company’s design, specifications etc.

Some OEM relationships are public knowledge e.g. Tesco do not produce instant coffee, so, an instant coffee producer makes Tesco instant coffee. Other OEM relationships are less obvious e.g. BT fax machines are mostly made by Olivetti, early Hewlett Packard digital cameras were made by Pentax and 70% of the notebook computers sold in the world (Dell, Compaq, HP, Apple, IBM, Sony etc.) are made by Quanta Computers in Taiwan and MG City Rover is made by Tata, the largest car manufacturer in India.
Many OEM relationships are well-kept secrets or at least kept discrete and known only to industry insiders e.g. Dell and Lexmark, from 2002 Lexmark produce Dell inkjet printers, laser printers and related print cartridges. Sony and Sandisk jointly develop and produce Memory Stick cards, which are sold under both brands etc.

So, is this a good or bad thing? Well, it’s a good thing for the consumer because these joint collaborations drastically reduce new product development and production costs, ultimately this saving translates into lower prices of products for all of us. However, it is worth bearing in mind, that a more expensive brand may not necessarily be a better product, or even any different to a lower priced product.

For our part at Mouse2House, we actively offer major brand products as well as alternative brands that in our experience we have found to represent good or better value.
