I'm primarily a computer and photography enthusiast, but I have a variety of other interests as well, from video games to fountain pens. I take the accuracy and correctness of my contributions very seriously; if there are any problems with my posts, feel free to edit them or let me know in chat if you have any questions or comments.
As a photographer, I use a Pentax K-5 (as well as a K-r as a backup or secondary camera), with a small selection of Pentax lenses. You can also find me on Pentax Forums.

Note that I'm not really into tabletop RPGs. I simply felt that this image suits me best.

Is it risky or difficult to wet clean an image sensor? The self-cleaning only worked in a few isolated times with larger specks of dust. A blower bulb was used to remove any other prominent dust. However, many other spots could not be removed with the blower bulb. |

Is it risky or difficult to wet clean an image sensor? The camera is a Pentax K-r, with an APS-C sensor. The low-pass filter is fixed on the sensor; the self-cleaning mechanism simply uses the Shake Reduction system to shake the entire sensor. It appears that when the shutter is open for sensor cleaning, the SR system tries to keep the sensor in place. |

What flash options are there for the Pentax system? +1 - Very well-written. In fact, I've bookmarked this site several months ago! |

How do the Pentax 18-55mm and 18-135mm compare in image quality? After reading the user reviews at Pentax Forums, I've come to the conclusion that the PhotoZone test was based on a bad unit, since the user reviews indicate that the lens actually performs very well at the 135mm end. Thanks! |

How do the Pentax 18-55mm and 18-135mm compare in image quality? I can't help but think that the PhotoZone test was based on a bad unit, but I can't say for sure until there are more resolution tests for this lens. I'm still waiting for LensTip to test this lens. I wanted to make sure that it was no worse than my 18-55mm kit lens. That's why I asked this question. |

Is there a typical settings order before shooting? @SimonAEugster: Sorry. I withdraw this comment. |
