Try growing Fritillaria imperialis 'Maxima Lutea' (Crown Imperial) - they look pretty weird too.

No idea but I know that Pentax cameras store the lens name in a field that other manufacturers don't use for that purpose, hence why Flickr never knows what lens I used from the EXIF. Maybe with the DFAs they started using the right field but the cameras can't read it?
I've just done a quick check, with pics from my old K10D.

1. Windows/Properties doesn't report the lens
2, PSE-11/File Info does
3. Flickr EXIF listing does
4. IIRC, it's never shown up in the competition galleries

It would seem Pentax may be using EXIF in a non-standard way.

Oh stop. That black one is truly beautiful.
Funny you should say that. I normally prefer black bodies, but in the case of the MX, I think the silver one looks better.

Possibly because my first Pentax was a silver MX...

I get a similar effect with the street lights early in the morning, when I walk out of the warm news-agent's and my glasses fog up!

On a lighter note, I had a short story read out on BBC Raio Leeds this morning, well chuffed.

I once had a poem read out on one of Terry Wogan's last radio progs.

Though they did edit out a couple of (rude) verses...
