I've used DPMagic http://www.dpmagic.com/ on my Windows XP PC. However, they haven't updated the cheaper versions to fully work with K10D PEF files, but you will still be able to see the thumbnails in Explorer.

I won't rise to that. Once upon a time we had a nice forum where the contributors were encouraging, positive and supportive. Over the past year we seem to have had a most unfortunate increase in the use of negativism, disdain, and occasionally, outright abuse. Well I have better things to do with my time.

I was trying to show the size of moon image possible with a 300mm lens and 2x converter.

Nice pictures all, but you can get a lot closer with tubes! Try going in on the anthers and stamens of a flower

Err, don't biros make their way to another planet, via wormholes in space/time?

Outside the Old Dungeon Ghyll in Great Langdale, this young Sparrow (you can tell the kids by the yellow gape around the bill) has learned to beg food from weary walkers. It was only about a metre away, and would take food from your hand.

1/200 @ F5.6 @ ISO100 @ 45mm on 16-45mm DA

Woot? Isn't that the call of an owl with a lisp?

I did my website in Ultraedit http://www.ultraedit.com/, and learned the HTML and CSS code at http://www.w3schools.com/

Haven't added much to it recently due to (a) boredom and (b) too many pictures to photoshop!

I produced a couple of web albums with JAlbum http://jalbum.net/, a java based program

Aren't specsavers glasses deliberately a bit soft? But don't worry, you can sharpen up the image in software.
