ImgBurn also had a very good Verification setting and there are
some programs on their site that let you export the copy burn and
verify graphs to see if it has been struggling.

Most MF film wedding and portrait photographers used a Zeiss Softar Soft Focus filter on their lens at all times. No other SF filter came close.
It had sort of raindrops all over it.... you can see them here:

I've still got at least one 67mm somewhere that was made for the Contax.

Copy to PC and then Copy from PC to DVD is the most reliable way.

I've got two DVD drives, but still prefer to use just one.

An excellent free copying program is ImgBurn

Thanks for that information. I'd assumed that this was a K5 trait too and just used to half press the shutter button to get rid of the enlarge function.
Doesn't just pressing OK work?
Less chance of taking another shot by accident then.

I saw it but already have one.

Ebay certainly punishes "IDIOTS"

Same seller got £573 for "Pentax prime lens" which was
a well hidden Pentax FA* 85mm f/1.4 ... not even mentioned
in the listing link

Three days ago someone sold a "lens pentax" for only £115
it was actually the Samsung version of the Pentax SMC DA 16-45mm
f/4.0 ED/AL and had hardly been used. link

I didn't bid on any, because I've too many lenses as it is.

You don't want to be using a camera that you aren't familiar with, especially when your not a wedding expert Tell him you will do it on the K-7 only. You have enough lenses to cover it. You will need a decent flashgun for indoor shots.
Signing the REGISTRAR etc.

Amazed that you've managed to get them with the weather this week.
I like the 2nd best which does look like the weather was good for
a few seconds.
