It's not about what kit I've got, its about having the knowledge to use it to maximum potential.

I wish he was as lively as Les Dawson!

Surely the mods just track the ip addresses?
Lurking is shirking.!

You are not a very good typoist are you.

More similarities to Les Dawson than we thought as you keep hitting the wrong keys.

Strange - some of PE's posts are in good English with correct grammar and spelling, whilst others are almost unreadable due to the poor spelling , grammar etc.

You are right PE if it has the label"PRO" on it then it must be a fantastic lens! Why spend a fortune on lenses with loads of other letters on them? The DA* lenses are complete rubbish as they don't say PRO on them at all! It sound like your mate at press-ups is an expert like yourself, so I would buy the lens before some other expert snaps it up! Or you could always get a Nikon, if you leave it on auto it will automatically choose the best shutter speed, aperture, ISO, composition, lighting, and even subject matter, all you have to do is press the shutter!

Well it turns out PentaxExpert was right about the Auto setting on the K5. I had never tried it before, but I decided to give it a go to see how it performed. I was amazed! Of course I put my most expensive lens on it, the Sigma 10-20, which isn't as good as the Ltd lenses, so I'd be really interested to see how they perform on the K5 on the Auto setting.

I took this in my bathroom in the dark, and I didn't even take the lens cap off!

But if you had bothered listening to advice and glued the 58 Pro Wide Angle on you could have had this!

And I'm sure PentaxMaster doesn't look like his aviator, a number of the links to that pic have a French connection, any connection ?
No connection, never been to Bradford, nor Leeds. If our detectives are to be believed the real identity is obvious.
