All wimps on here John To think Ansell Adams used to
climb mountains with 8x10 cameras, glass plates and big wooden
tripods before breakfast

I've got one of these I don't use it much, but it is very
sharp. I'll have to try it out again now that the weather
seems to be getting brighter.

From the shots on the US site the bokeh looks very good
especially on the shot of the tree trunks comparing it
to two other excellent lenses.... it comes off best

The organiser of the world marmalade awards has just been
on Radio 2 promoting it. Takes place in Cumbria in 2-3 days
time. She gave the website out, but it isn't working which
made her promotion and the time of 8 million listeners a
bit of a waste

Looks interesting this is another site that has pictures of
last years:

I'm not exactly sure what you are doing, but it sounds like you need a rope that doesn't twist If you look at the large Auctiva pics of this Haltrac hoist on ebay you can see the type of cord they have used.

I want to sell my K-7 and get a K-5 (second hand) but it's a big difference in price....
It won't help you if the K-5 gets knocked down in price The latest camera and the one below it usually hold up quite well and the remaining cameras go into free fall like the K-10 and K20 did when the K-5 came out.

Don't forget that the man interviewed is from sales/marketing
There was a lot of marketing jargon between the bits that were
translated.

Very impressive. If your going to be doing JPG's straight
from the camera it's worth trying the in camera sharpening
at all available settings (possibly not the - ones).

Ricehigh has just posted 9 shots on his blog at different
settings and sizes taken with a 21mm LTD and the (K-5) in
camera sharpening is really good. I would imagine that
the GX-10 will be similar.

Put an unmodified RAW and JPG on a site somewhere
and let other people see if they see the lines. That
would confirm that it's in the camera.

Far too big by the looks of it!

Why do Pentax users always want everything brought out for
other systems?
Because it's there
That's the whole point!......... It isn't
