Sainsbury's are selling off some 500mm x 340mm rectangular plastic
translucent trays link
They can be stood in front of flashguns or lights as diffusers or
held over a flower in the garden to diffuse sunlight etc. Three
tied together would make a good light tent.
The Wigan store was doing them for £1.35 each yesterday I bought four.

bird shot
It should be possible to put the wireless router out on a window
ledge etc. for greater distance.
Sorry Don... I don't have an iPhone and even if I had I wouldn't
have that and the trigger hanging from my camera. I can fire
the camera from the house anyway with an RF-602.

lights all over the panel. AS himself said they were just for show
and weren't meant to show anything of any value

under tungsten light link and a White Paper by Lumo Labs on the problem. link
He states that Contrast AF is twice as good as phase detect AF
but that would be with the phase detect set correctly.

at 49mm. Most of the K series were 52mm.
Pentax 49mm snap on lens hood is sufficient. What he's playing
at is actually quite nasty anyone searching for
"Pentax 28mm f2.8 lens" actually gets all he's junk in
the search he will be doing it with gadget bags next
The annoying part is that he's stripped these caps from lenses
that he's selling and substituted just a cheap end cap in this
case link
How about this one:
"Genuine Pentax K Rear/Back Lens Cap For 28mm f2.8 135mm f3.5 40mm f2.8 etc" link
The 28mm, 135mm, 40mm must have a different K Bayonet

I hate change just for the sake of change.
are difficult to read. I actually wrote the above on a program I
was messing about with that wordwrapped at 50 chars.
It's different if your printing stuff off then 70-80 chars is better.
You used to get told off on the Usenet newsgroups for very
long lines, because people read so many posts on there and
shorter lines are quicker to read.

What surprises me is that the link in the OP is still active after more than a year. I'm not really surprised that it hasn't sold yet though.
