What’s in Your Camera Bag?

Not what's ON your camera bag, as in the photo above. Photographers often put more thought into acquiring a camera bag than they do buying a new appliance. Camera bags can be very utilitarian, such as the Domke F2 bag, or very specialized, such as some of the photo backpacks or camera sling-packs that are now popular. I prefer the Tamrac bags because I like the simple design and flexibility of

Pentax User’s Holiday Gift Guide 2007

This time of year, most of us who have got a Pentax DSLR camera (or three) are still wishing for more amateur photography gear. Well, I cobbled together an idea list for your spouse, family member, or friends, to pick and choose from for you. This is the stuff that if you don't already have, you're gonna wish you did. And if you haven't yet got a DSLR, by all means jump up and get either the K100D Super or the K10D, right now. The prices are incredible this season (I heard recently that an eBay store in Canada was selling new K10D bodies for just $550). While Canon, Nikon, and Sony literally throw money at retailers each year to dissuade you from buying anything but their brand, I think you'll love your Pentax just the same. When you walk into a store you're going to face the hard sell for one of those other cameras, but just remember, money can't buy you love.

The just released Pentax DA 18-250mm (~$499) is the ultimate zoom lens for any travel scenario (wide-angle or telephoto) for those who don't want to carry more than one. It's the equivalent of the two Pentax amateur starter lenses (the DA 18-55mm and the DA 5-200mm), but with a wider lens diameter and faster focusing power. Unlike the Tamron 18-250mm lens for the same price, the Pentax has a nicer build quality and does

This time of year, most of us who have got a Pentax DSLR camera (or three) are still wishing for yet more amateur photography gear. Well, I cobbled together an idea list of over 40 items for your spouse, family member, or friends, to pick and choose from for you. This is the stuff that if you don't already have, you're gonna wish you did. And if you haven't yet got a DSLR, by all means jump up and get either the K100D Super or the K10D, right now.

2007 Pop Photo Awards: The DA 70mm F2.4 Limited

Pop Photo does its Editor's Choice thing a few times a year, giving coverage to all sorts of nice photography gizmos. This fall, they've singled out the DA 70mm F/2.4 Limited lens as being worthy of some additional ink. I have this lens and it's probably one of the sharpest prime lenses I've ever owned, so I'm not complaining. Pentax should be selling these things by the truck load and I'm glad it gets some mention in the magazine. Which leads me to wonder, has Pentax ever considered doing a special bundle of all three prime DA Limited lenses with a special discount?

From Pop Photo:
"Built to last and optimized for Pentax digital SLRs, this 105mm equivalent SMCP-DA pancake lens ($480, street) is great for portraits and is a superb choice for lightening the load in the field."
