So that's where they dump all our old cars

I really like the Sunbeam Talbot.

All good shots.

This test seems quite thorough:

My copy of the Kit Lens is quite good. I'm surprised he
claims to have got these poor results "At its widest
setting it managed only 1,440 lines, increasing to
1,746 lines at 35mm, and dropping back to 1,383 lines
at 55mm." Photozone got 2300 to 2500 at 18mm

These are the worst alkaline batteries I've ever used
Leaked in everything I've used them in.
It seems they do guarantee them up to the use by date.
Trouble is there was hardly anything left of the batteries
apart from green gunge.

I've had loads of gadgets damaged by leaky AA, C and D Batteries
I don't think I have any comeback on the manufacturer.

Mallory had a form of Guarantee, but it was heavily restricted.

If these batteries were safe, don't you think Pentax would
supply 60% charged ones with their cameras as per the battery
manufacturers recommendations

Be VERY careful with ALL battery charging inc. Ni-Mh even the
best ones such as La Crosse aren't safe. I bought the BC-700
instead of the bigger BC-900 because of this:

Many other reports such as this:

If a major manufacturer has problems, how can anything made
down to a price in a backstreet workshop for ebay be safe

Thanks to Ricehigh for the link:

"Here, the Nikon D3200 is compared to the Pentax K-5
Pentax K-5 which is the best performing cropped-sensor
DSLR to date."

Flames!..... Boom!....... Bang!...

I thought it was dearer than the K-5?

A Dremel is quicker than super glue

The rounded Ricoh pin is OK which is why they have
re-introduced it on the K30

Sounds better than "Two Sheds Lautrec"
