18-55 WR

Well the K7 and kit lens arrived this morning following a tour of Lincolnshire courtesy Parcelforce and as yet the battery is still charging so no comment on the K7 apart from my disappointment with the little nasty rubber doors (one of the reasons I rejected Nikon) still I will have to learn to love them or remove them.

Back to the lens put it on the K20 and had a quick click and I am very pleased with the results. Hope to try this evening and see if I can do some proper shots with it rather than the snap anything in sight. So, pleased with the lens the camera is yet to be tried.

What do you mean when you say "little rubber doors?"

One on the left covers the USB, HDMI and external power supply connectors. On the right at the bottom covers the cable release connector.

I've now taken to removing the SDHC card instead of using the USB cable

I also agree with you regarding the little DA 18-55 WR. Not bad performer at all from my tests so far

Derrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr oh yeah, sorry having a stupid moment here

Paul

If it's anything like the previous kit lenses greytop i will be excellent

Optics are the same as with the MarkII from what we know so far.

Thanks for explaining the rubber doors I meant, I can open them ok but because my fingers do not work so well I find it very difficult to shut them again. Still I would not discard the camera over it's doors but may have though twice if I had realised before buying.

Pleased with the little lens, a steal if you have bought it as a kit lens.

Here are a couple of the shots, they realy are just snaps not intended to be of any interest to others, both at f10 in reasonable but midday light.

The camera was the K20
Sorry not got the correct size I forgot think it should be 850 if I remember.

I see you took my advise.

I simply brought one of these - works a treat! no cables or readers needed at all, card straight out of the camera into the PC front

Not being funny, and I don't want to look like a numpty again, but how did you upload your images before?
Did you always use the usb from the camera to the PC?

I simply take my card out and pop it in my laptop or PC. I only use my usb cable when I do tethered photography.

Paul

TBH I don't think I could find my USB cable. My old PC had a reader which was fine once I had removed the dog hair so on the new PC I use a reader.

Thanks Dave, yes I did

Yes just habit Paul, I used the USB cable 99% of the time. Now with the rubber covers on the K-7 I'm less inclined to do that, the card removal and reader scenario makes more sense

Edit: Sorry Jackie we're getting a bit off the topic here. Nice shots from your DA 18-55 WR btw
