Are the two additional axis combinations of pitch, roll, and/or yaw?
Wouldn't a three axis system accommodate changes in multiple axis?

The three axes we normally consider (x,y,z) only define the position of a point in space (in the case of a digital camera the one point that defines the center of the sensor). Since a camera sensor is not a point, we need to consider also rotation of the sensor around an axis vertically through the center of the sensor (this axis is parallel to the vertical sides of the sensor) as well as rotation around an axis that runs through the center of the lens. Rotation on either of these additional two axes will not move the center point of the sensor, while other points in the sensor do move.

You really should be looking at Pentax Forums website for this question. (We Pentaxians are few and far between here on UglyHedgeHog which I read daily for other reasons.)...

Then there is their 10-17 mm ultra wide angle zoom. I own this too. I find it quite sharp, surprisingly sharp, for a zoom.
And at the widest end, it is Fisheye, which is a total blast to use.

If you prefer your ultrawide without fisheye effect, the Pentax 12-24mm f4 produces very nice images.

So why is your picture of a 1965 model?
Note the distinctive shape of the grille halves, and the turn signals in the grilles rather than in the bumper.

Having owned a '67 Goat, that's what I was thinking.

C and F with B added only if there is room. Keeping it simple while covering a wide range of focal lengths.

I bought this camera in 1967 while stationed overseas. What is the best way to sell this camera and a few lens that would go with it?
Thank you.

You might get more interest on PentaxForums.

It may look like a craze, but I don't believe it is. Rather, it is just an extension of the nature of social media. Is social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) nothing more than a craze? I think this will be with us for quite some time, in some form or another, and so will selfies, which are linked to social media.

Personally, I don't do selfies. But I also don't do social media. Yet even as a non-participant, it's not that difficult to observe what's going on in that realm, and see why selfies are such an integral part of it.

I think there is also an element of "look where I am" or "look what I'm doing" to selfies. I don't need to have pictures of myself to prove (to who?) that I've been somewhere or done something I think is special. But then again, forums like this are the closest I get to social media.

Optech, nothing better at any price.

And OpTech offers a system that lets you buy a neck strap and with a few additional pieces, convert it to a one shoulder sling strap and back again. Lots of flexibility and comfort.

I made part of that trip a few years back. There's lots to see close to the river banks so a shorter lens for that and for the castles which are far off, a long lens. Today I would just take my 16-300 and 10-20 and enjoy the trip.

Sounds like good advice. We did the Danube and my 17-50mm on APSc was my most used lens. On some of the city excursions I could have used something a little wider, but seldom had a need for longer.

By the way, as an addendum, you never "own" commercial software! You may purchase a perpetual license, but its use is subject to the limitations of the User License Agreement (ULA) which can vary significantly from one software manufacturer to another.

Correct. And many EULAs (End User License Agreement) include a clause that the software author may revoke the "perpetual" license for specified reasons.

Take a look at the Lowepro Tahoe BP150. I've used mine with body and a couple of lenses and accessories. If you arrange the internals properly the 70-200 may fit mounted on the body. There is a pocket that I can fit my 13" Dell XPS in, so a tablet should be no problem.

Is it more important to soak in the experiences of this once-in-a-lifetime or to carry around a heavy bag and then jostle crowds while you change lenses? Do you really think you'll feel regret at not getting a "perfect" composition?

Take the 24-70 and enjoy the experience of a lifetime!

Completely agree. I have found little to no use for longer zooms in city environs. For wider you can always brace yourself against something and take overlapping images to stitch together later. Enjoy the trip!

And lastly, I 'm not big on monthly subscription bills. Buying it outright would be ok?
Thank you...

PS is no longer available for purchase as a standalone application, but only as part of a subscription. You may be able to get a copy of CS6 used, but licensing might be an issue with such a purchase.

Great image!

I have to add my recommendation of the Dell XPS series to the others that also recommend them. Since the XPS is available in both 13" and 15" versions, you should consider the tradeoff between screen size for ease of editing and portability. My 13" version fits in my smaller backpack, making it an easy carry on various flights. However, I don't do too much in Photoshop on it, reserving that for at home on my desktop.

Spec-wise, I have an i7, 16GB of ram and an SSD. You could get away with lesser processing speed and ram, but you might not have the patience for some of the filters, etc. in PS.

You should post this question on PentaxForums. More than one individual there does camera repairs and should be able to help. If you intend to use the camera, a CLA would probably be advisable, too.
