http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ Some have got them in the US, but not me yet, maybe next week. Afterall, Australia is a long way from the Pentax factory. :-( > http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ > > Some have got them in the US, but not me yet, maybe next week. > > Afterall, Australia is a long way from the Pentax factory. :-( you nearly got me with that "FINALLY!!" :-) hope it all comes in next week then. fully expect a big SHOUT here then! >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > hope it all comes in next week then. > fully expect a big SHOUT here then! I was thinking, yes the shout will be big and lous but quite probably I will be off taking photos so you may not hear much for a day or two. Once I recover a little I promise to start shouting at least a little. > http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ > > Some have got them in the US, but not me yet, maybe next week. > > Afterall, Australia is a long way from the Pentax factory. :-( Was talking to CRK's a few days ago - early Dec, or if we are lucky, end of Nov. Can't wait to see how the 10 performs with the Pentax 16-45. Then all i've got to do is convince SWMBO that it will be money well spent. >> http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > of Nov.

The good lady did not have to be convinced very much, she understands wants and needs where "want = need", she also enjoys all he photos I take and the places we go to take them. :-) > > http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ > > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > of Nov.

I want to hear a loud, convincing "WOOOOOP!" when you finally get the blessed things! Gotta keep some traditions going, darn it! BTW: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!, my coolscan9000 finally made an entrance! >> > http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ >> > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP!, > my coolscan9000 finally made an entrance! Nice, they do look a bit wierd though. > Nice, they do look a bit wierd though. ??? >> Nice, they do look a bit wierd though. > > ??? For those used to standard flatrbed scanners! > >> Nice, they do look a bit wierd though. > > > > ??? > > For those used to standard flatrbed scanners! LOL! Yeah: "The lid? Where is the lid?" One thing: they're huge! This thing is easily twice the height of the 4990, same overall width/length. First results at 2000dpi are here, if you want to have a gander: http://members.iinet.net.au/~nsouto/photos/ they are the ones dated Nov/06. That's Fujicolor 160C, taken on a Zeiss r/f with a Leitz "cron" 50-2 and a Voigtlaender Ultron 35-1.7. Except for the "rex": that's velvia 100, Nikon F4, 55-3.5 micro. And the sunset: velvia 100, F4, 28-2.8 The rex is not mine. Wish it was... Will start some 6x7 this weekend. And some 4000dpi serious stuff. Sorry, no dslr here. Not yet, anyway... ;-) > Sorry, no dslr here. Not yet, anyway... None here either. The K10D is the first to excite me to the point where I actually seriously want one and will start working on SWMBO to try to get the release of funds. By the time the money gets authorised the K20D will be out :-P In the meantime, I'm trying to find someone local to process my E6, since Vanbar don't supply the chemistry anymore (their website says they do, but if you actually place an order it's a no-show). At the moment it looks like I might have to trust it to mailorder to brisvegas or sidknee. > ;-) > In the meantime, I'm trying to find someone local to process my E6, > since Vanbar don't supply the chemistry anymore (their website says they > do, but if you actually place an order it's a no-show). At the moment it > looks like I might have to trust it to mailorder to brisvegas or sidknee. bugger!! did you give madsens a try? they stocked one of the 3-step kits until recently, IIRC. if all else fails, send it to trannys. both have pointers here: http://dbasrus.blogspot.com check the links on the right. > In the meantime, I'm trying to find someone local to process my E6, Pinewood in Mt Waverly (?) is an option.

Because I am an anti US bum? Actually I prefer to buy locally so I get local support, why would I ever do any different with a high dollar item, to have to wait a week or so is really quite trvial, I am just making it a bit of fun while I wait. :-) >>>http://www.flickr.com/photos/pete_with_pentax/285444496/ >>> [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > to wait a week or so is really quite trvial, I am just making it a bit of > fun while I wait. :-) I think there has been problems with the camera and they will not be shipped till early or late next year. :) But my D200 arrived :) > I think there has been problems with the camera and they will not be > shipped till early or late next year. :) Ouch! > But my D200 arrived :) double Ouch!

Same reason its a long way to having make a return for warranty - and there is not a great cost saving anyway. Plus you get Brownie points from the local dealers. |
