Well, he does have a yellow brick, so I guess he gets a pass...

I just got an email telling me that my Facebook page needs likes and that the sender could like it, for a fee.

Why does my facebook page need likes?

JibbaJab · 12-15-2014, 10:09 PM

I haven't been in this thread since like 500 pages ago. Can someone please explain why "marital relations" is one of the tags?

**rod_grant** · 12-15-2014, 10:35 PM

Umm, I can't remember.
Jac did mention that Mrs Jac (IIRC), was 4'9'' and lighter than his tripod and had blown away, but that wasn't a marital relations issue.
Can't help - memory not what it used to be.

Edit;
searching by tag doesn't seem to come up with anything either (search engine has a memory as bad as mine).
Searching finds a number of posts referring to the tag line, back in January-February, but I can't see an actual post that caused the tagging to occur.

I would except I can't remember what marital relations are. That being said, I am sure that the K-3 does not support them.

It was supposed to be in the next firmware update, but hociR said NO.

I think Nikon and Canon both support that, this is a huge Pentax marketing mistake... Pentax is doomed.

Does this ring a bell?

I think the K3 really improves marital relations as compared to the K5 IIs or the Nikon D7100 for example - take a portrait of your significant other without an AA filter and it'll be so sharp that he/she will either slap it into your face for being able to see every tiny pimple and wrinkle or you have to spend hours in PS, thus neglecting your significant other.

With the K3 you just select the strongest AA => done
