On ebay £100-£200+ A dealer would probably be nearer to £100. They seem rarer than the 1.7x's though.

That looks like a fairly new field camera. The tripod is totally unsuitable

Very impressive shot and a good subject for stacking.

The 1.4x-s is OK on the 55-300mm. MF only.

I wonder how long the dealers are going to put up with all the unpaid work of exchanging bodies, before they drop Pentax I was looking in one Pro Centre dealers window today and he usually has about 3 bodies on display, they were gone and so was the price list Still a few new lenses on display. I just hope they are waiting for stock, which in itself isn't very good. I won't name them in the hope that normal service will resume shortly.

FF2 allowed it so by the modern way of thinking not allowing it in FF3 is a Major Update...... Maybe FF4 hasn't got Bookmarks to simplify things

This going back to v1.5 Style Close Tab is great..... you click the same place every time (CTRL+W does the same thing) I've just been looking at a load of stuff on ebay and opening tabs all over the place.... what else are they selling.... what's their feedback..... how much did they pay for that etc. Took about half as long as it normally does because I didn't have to squint looking for the right tab to click...... just hit the same RED X every time and the tab I'm looking at closes

Pentax Rear Converter-A 1.4X-S works well with the Pentax 55-300mm.

That's a lot better If I've got a load of say ebay tabs open, I don't have to look along the tab headers to find the current one to close it. I just click the same Red X on the right of the screen and it always closes the current tab.... much faster

I've got the Image Zoom add-on.... it's very good I use it for any full size jpgs on lens test pages.

The various exif addons are also very useful.

There seems to be a setting in about:config which stops
tabs opening next to the current one and makes them
open at the end of the line of tabs.

Something like insertTabsAfterCurrent true/false
Just search for "browser.tabs" you will see it.

The Red Close Tabs button on the right of the
tabline works on Firefox 3 as well
