Superbly sharp and excellent captures. I like the Goldcrest best.

It usually is tagged and you normally can't install the
previous version.

Ignore that one review on Amazon. The box has a door which you push right in until it's pushed the HDD home and into the connectors. There's a catch on it which clicks and locks. You need to use the supplied pin or a paper clip to release it. It won't open on it's own. When you open the door it pulls the HDD out of the contacts and you can swap drives.

Another thing to bear in mind is the power connector. This one uses the standard tube and pin with body and centre contacts. I don't like the DIN type connectors they never seem solid to me.

See your mail

I've not used that lens, but I know it's made by and is
the same as the Cosina one.

I would expect that the Cosina adapter will be matched to
give the best performance, although tubes should be just
as good.

IcyBox are really well made and usually have a flap to swap
drives in a few seconds.

I've got this one: link I use eSata, but it also works well with USB2.

For transferring files Compact Flash is now quite cheap I bought
a Kingston 255x 16gb for £16 off Amazon, but you can get up to
600x and a Firewire reader. I use a USB2 Sandisk Extreme Dual Card
Reader and leave the CF card in all the time. The SDHC slot
is free for camera use.

Don't forget your trying to compose on a 3 inch screen
You won't be able to see tiny details as you would with a
100% life size SLR screen...... OK I suppose if you only
want to make and are happy with 3 inch prints

Well captured Alan and superbly.... Sharp!

Gizzit!

Tiffen's site shows an example of a haze filter.
It not only removes haze it increases sharpness... probably
by increasing contrast. I found it sharper, more so at the edges
with a Pentax-K 28mm f/3.5 lens and the Tiffen Haze-1 filter.

A quote from a web page I came across:

"Isn't it a marvel that Ansel Adams was able to
produce all those masterpieces while handicapping
himself by using image degrading filters?"
