I'll keep an eye on that myself, I've got a MF version but AF would be nice to have ....

I have just bought a Samyang 85mm f1.4 from SRS for £219 delivered and can thoroughly recommend it. It's a lot of lens for the price. The bokeh on it is lovely and the manual focusing is perfectly damped. I bought it specifically for low light but it's also a fantastic portrait lens.

No probs, glad I could be of help, David!

It sounds like a colour setting problem, I had a similar problem myself once after installing Photoshop on a new computer. Try opening Photoshop, then Edit>Color settings and a box like this will pop up (this is from CS6 but as far as I remember it's the same in CS3)




Check all the settings are the same as in the image, especially the preserve Embedded Profiles one, the problem I had which soundeds similar to yours the computer had changed some of them for some reason during installation. I uploaded. Hope it's that simple...

I shoot some film but could not imagine giving up digital, it seems a rather Luddite approach to the problem of digital allowing you to shoot so many more images. Why not stick a 512mb card in your camera, and don't take a spare, every time you go out with your camera? Then you will be forced to think about every shot you take on your K5 in the same way you have to consider each shot when using film To really replicate using film, but without the cost, you could tape something over the LCD screen so you can't see what you have shot.until you get home.

Just found this in the terms and conditions of Pixel Pipe (pi.pe) think I will give it a miss.....no wonder it's a free service

Does Pixel Pipe delete the files from Flickr if you use it to transfer files to Dropbox?

I'm still vacillating over whether to get a K5iis now or wait for the next generation camera, hopefully full-frame. The one improvement I want over all others is low-light capability (in terms of noise, not AF); has anyone noticed any significant improvement in this?

me too....:

If you upload too many at once, judging on past experience, you will probably get a message that a lot of the files have "timed out".

The new layout looks good to me, must sort out a refund on my Pro account...
