So what item will be on your present list that would transform your photography?

For me it has to be a spirit level to keep my horizons level.

Christmas spirits usually have me level like the horizon... but binge drinking aside, here's an upgrade pentax can offer for the k-7, kx...

you got the camera in video mode on a tripod, you then set a primary focus point, a secondary focus point, and a duration, so when the shutter is pushed, a nice rack focus shot is achieved.

also a programable focus and zoom shot done with the old power zoom lenses for programable "Zolly" or zooming while dollying shots.

Those two features would make the video capable slrs a truly useful alternative to 35mm video adaptors for videographers...

a great way to attract new Pentax customers, from video making communities.
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Or failing that, a vague understanding of how Photo editing software works.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Any amounts of. Why cannot I at least compress a boring travel time (etc) to use it later?
Kind regards,

Well a K7 would be nice but weve spent a fortune on home improvements this year and need to get the savings topped up again, and we also need a new TV so I think it will be a joint pressie
