This is also a very good shutter release ..... the small jackplug goes in the camera and the receiver hangs off the end of the lead via the screw in plug. The release button has two positions and shows a green or red led for the position. Also works on Canons. Range up to 100m

I was just looking at the newly announced Tamron 16-30 2.8 lens. Thinking it would be a nice purchase. Until I was stopped in my tracks. Only to find its not made in Pentax mount. This is increasingly becoming the norm. Why do people think this is ? Would Pentax owners be happy to use just Pentax branded lenses ? Let's discuss.....
They don't seem to make it in any other mount either

Same with the 2-450mm

Thumb-Up Grips are already available for when this camera comes out!

You don't mind not using a flash do you?

Things are getting silly, but that's what people want!

The last time I posted something from the UK tracking only worked up to leaving the UK so it wasn't much use.

Panicking after only 3 working days is grossly unfair on the seller especially considering that he has five stars on here for previous sales.

A very quick play on a Sigma 150-500 shows it operates. no idea about IQ
The HSM/SR lens works well with the Jessop 1.7x. Holding it steady is the hardest part.

The PC I use for editing has W7 64bit on it and Currys are doing 120GB OCZ SSD's for £45 so I bought one as a boot drive. My other XP machine boots up quicker than W7 at present.

I thought I'd check the BIOS settings before I do anything. The boards a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H with a graphical BIOS...... What a mess I can hardly move the mouse around and finding settings is just about impossible. There is a sort of Classic version, but I still can't find where boot devices etc. are chosen. The board is supposed to have an online BIOS update, but it won't work and the lastest BIOS is too big for the on board program as well?

Going back to Chkdsk it's better to run it from a PE Boot CD/DVD it can fix problems that can't be done whilst the C: drive is being used.

No windows file manager has ever come close to the DOS XT_Gold.
I couldn't see any need for a database when I had that the search
was so good.
