Unbelievable quality for such a high ISO
I am glad, what I find most surprising, and not a little disturbing, is that some of these images looked rubbish on the rear screen of the camera, to the extent that I almost binned them.

So, my tip of the week:- Never trust the rear screen. Never delete images until you see it on a decent monitor (unless they are really rubbish for some other reason).
Don't forget that underexposed and overexposed shots can usually be pulled back. So don't bin anything

Most of the Manchester/Liverpool water comes from the Lake District.
They've just built a massive pipeline (1M Diam. I think) along the
East Lancs Road joining Manchester - Liverpool supplies.

There were at least 3 variations of the 43mm. The original shown in the link above didn't have the "green wart" that probably appeared with the 77mm, possibly because it was thought that it would interfere with the already small MF ring. Then one appeared with the "green wart" and finally the "assembled in Vietnam" version.

Mine's the original version, made about the time that AP tested one and declared it the "Best Standard" lens ever made.

I think you have to scrape off all the Silver before it
works properly!...... Wait!...... that doesn't sound Right!

Now I remember what it is you scrape off .... If your using an
old lens that has a black painted mount, you have to either
scrape back to bare metal or put a piece of silver foil over
the body contacts for the Green Button to work on the K-5.

If we ever get independence the border should be moved south a wee bit (from The Wash to the Mersey).
Funny that - I would have thought that with only 4 million odd ( sic ) souls the whole population could be moved to the Shetlands,Faeroes and other outlying islands and the rest joined to Cumbria as a massive conservation area and National Park for the use of we scousers..............
