Carrie,

I'd also suggest a Microfocussing plate for the tripod such as http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7514656473. It'll give you very fine control as you basically have to move the camera to adjust focus, and this allows you very fine control. I bought one from this seller and had no problems with delivery from USA.

Would it be feasible for Pentax to include a DNG format for existing DSLR's with a firmware upgrade, or is too much "hardwired" into the circuitry?

natiperry,

What operating system does your 'puter run? WindozeXP or Apple Msc Should plug n play OK, but older systems like Win98 are less reliable. But I'd go with Matt's suggestion - it'll save your batteries too, to download with a card reader.

I had some tulips in my garden this spring, that were so vivid in real-life, that I swore my eyes needed colour correction!

I'd post an example, but I'm packing for a week in the Lake District.

Well in response to the great coverage the lens has had in these forums I went and bought the DA 16-45 (from Park Cameras), and holy zarquon singing fish what a lens!

I was simply knocked out by how bright the view through the viewfinder was, using this lens. I think I'm going to enjoy this one!

Dragged myself in to work this morning to find an envelope on the desk.

Opened it with trepidation, and no not the P45, but bonus and pay rise time!


Pass me that lens brochure! Now where do I start?

Or try using a TV remote control to trigger the release by IR! Get out all those remotes, TV, VCR, DVD, Hi-Fi etc, use the Fn button to set the drive mode to Remote control Unit, point them at the camera and press the buttons!
