They look good on my desktop monitor Mike. Definitely not too bright.
Great shots too: I really like the second one.
As an aside, I do find that the screen on my ThinkPad is hopeless for viewing angles, leading to difficulty in judging if a picture is correct. My desktop monitor (HP LP2475w) is fine in that regard.

A collection of manual primes to keep me in touch with the pleasures of doing it old-school.

OK here Mike, viewing on a calibrated (Heuy Pro) Dell 2209WA IPS monitor.
My Dell laptop (2003/4 vintage) is absolutely hopeless for both brightness and colour even after calibration (Heuy Pro).

Cheers for that. My next spend needs to be a WR body, probably the K30 but after that I really need to invest in a better lens giving me a reach of more than 300. The 50-500 crops up regularly on here but would be out of my budget range. I might be able to stretch to something like the 120-400 which would be a major improvement for me. Can't believe that Pentax haven't brought their longer zoom out by now, they must be missing a fortune in lost sales to Sigma.

The 150-500mm OS comes up for sale on the forum and Ebay quite regularly ... from what I can see they are very much the same at the long end, you just pay more for the extra 50-150mm range on the bigger Sigma.
Don't get me started on Pentax and their lack of a zoom lens in the 100-400mm range, Canon, Nikon and Sony all have one so their is obviously a market. I would presume such a lens would be a hard sell for Pentax now though

Got the 4 day Bournemouth Air Show coming up end of next month, been the last 4 years and tbh it's all a bit repetitive now ... I know it's free and draws in the people but I would rather pay and get a few more of the big fighter jets in rather than the same old prop planes.
I remember the first time I went, had my new K10D and Sigma 50-500mm, was like a kid with a new toy
Going to try RIAT next year and possibly Farnborough.

RAIT is great but it's soo big! Being from Cumbria I don't do too well with crowds, plus there's no sheep!
I always liked smaller shows like the ones at Kemble and like Duxford Warbirds used to be when they had it the same weekend as RAIT...
