Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Canon's printers are ok. Mind you, I'm basing this on an old Pixma IP90 I was given. Lousy ink mileage (gets through those tiny cartridges like stink) but plug it in directly via Pictbridge and you can get decent prints in a hurry.
Mind you, it was a freebie...

Don't switch brands! You've just bought a job lot of classic Pentax lenses.

I can't decide if we should attempt to unmask PE.
He clearly writes a 'load of sphericals' but the responses he gets are hilarious

There is no need to unmask PentaxExpert, but I would point out that the terms of use specifically prohibit multiple identities.

Pentax Expert was hilarious at first, but the joke has worn thin.
Re-invention is required, methinks. Become an ardent feminist, old chap. Lots of scope there, and in a humour-free zone you won't be unmasked for years.

No let the fun continue, I was one of those condemning his/her behaviour, but if his intention was to liven up this forum he/she's done it without any smut or offence to anyone. And with many of us enjoying contributing to the hilarity.

Yet you allow it to continue while upholding other terms of membership (such as not mentioning other brands) so vigorously :

Do you think it should be stopped? Or do you think watching and giving some leeway is more sensible?

Those who frame the rules can never envisage every possible situation that might arise. The British legal system is in many ways superior to most others because it allows judges to interpret and sometimes even extend the law.johnriley wrote:

This is what is happening here. His Honour, Justice Riley, is using his judgement to ensure that a little harmless quirkiness is not steamrolled by the inflexible juggernaut of the rule-book.

That's an excellent choice PE. I would recommend that you also budget for a good sturdy tripod as it is quite heavy. This one is quite good, I think its a French make:
