A Response to a Question at Pentax Forum

[benjikan]

Larry wanted to know how the Pentax stood up under pro shooting conditions. This was what I said..

Hello Larry;

It was quite seamless. The four point toggle takes some getting used to. That is a question of conditioning after years with Canon. Focusing very fast and accurate. Nice RAW images. Worked just fine. It IS a professional camera for me. I am a professional. I used it today and yesterday for an important client. It did the job. It didn't blow up! It kept taking pictures without one thought of concern ever entering my mind. I shot over 12 gig of images and my batteries on both of the bodies are still able to shoot at least another 200 each.

Look..I shoot in studio and in interior locations. I really don't know how it would do under adverse conditions as yet. I'll probably never find out. I want good raw native images that will translate well to the printed media. Pentax WON five stars and not "JUST" five stars...Nudge Nudge Wink Wink, Say No More, Say No More!

I work for a living as a photographer...Can PHIL say that?

Also someone alluded to the the fact that the Phil I was referring to was a Phil from some Camera Forum...It isn't THAT Phil the Phil I am referring to is:

On a serious note, I am happy the camera "worked as intended" It's always nice to hear that the equipment that I've decided to invest my hard earned money in passes muster from a professional.

NaCl(glad it worked out and the one image I've seen so far is stunning)H2O

Banned??? What are you talking about? I was referring to my cousin Phil Moscowitz from the Bronx. There must be some misunderstanding here...You know "Phil" my cousin who is a gear junkie, who has tons of camera's, never really uses them, really, and can never get his exposers, composition, subjects and general sense of artistry quite right. He just likes playing with them, makes him feel good. That's the Phil I was referring to.

Well...You know a very, very, very, very distant 18th cousin of a 35th cousin of my great, great, very great grandmother...Sort of...Nudge, Nudge, Wink, Wink...

The battery power of K10D is just amazing! With the ever increase in file size and memory storage size nowadays, battery power is of an concern if not a limiting factor that force one to stop shooting...

I have no comment on your cousin though...

[benjikan]

Oh you know my cousin "Phil" as well?

Wow! Phil Moscowitz from the Bronx is your cousin too? It's a small world, isn't it?

I think you're being a little too hard on Phil (Moscowitz that is), although he is an opinionated jerk sometimes. He does get out to shoot occasionally and takes very nice pictures, considering he's more preoccupied with the gear than the images.

That aside, Benji, I want to say that your contributions to several forums have helped me immeasurably. You got me motivated, helped with my technique and are willing to share.

Thanks, Arkie

I love Phil..He's my cousin.  I really don't know what on earth you are talking about.  As a Canadian I am generally quite patient and always give people the benifit of the dout.  But once they step over a certain line of Universal Ethical acceptability..It is game over and I call a spade a spade.  If someone wants to paly ball on my turf no problem...Been doing it for 25 years already..  But that does not apply to Phil Moscowitz, my cousin from the Bronx it was never the case with my cousin Phil...

I never betray family.
