Love the colours and refreactions Peter.

Dan's right, digital is a lot of fun, and you can afford to try things you wouldn't have attempted with film - like the 1000 shots (really!) it took me to get this:-

I have an ancient Vivitar 28mm lens. When I put it on my K10D it wouldn't come off! Much panic, and some checking of posts on this forum and eventually it came off. Has put me off attaching older non-pentax lenses to the K10D. (I know there are problems with Ricoh lenses because of a particular lug).

This is very interesting, regarding future Pentax projects:- http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-news-releases/4337-translation-pma-pentax-interview-new-dslr-body-year-company-strategy.html

Incidentally, the translator, Katsura says "I have just one small request - please do not copy and paste this text, or provide a direct link at Dpreview. They have just banned another contributor to the Pentax Talk forum there. At the moment I can't stand the place. Not posting there is my own way of a little protest." Now just who might he be referring to?

Exactly! Does anybody care what make of chisel Mr Stradivarius used to make his violns? No! It's the end result that matters!

I'd say that the original looks the truest-to-life, if not the most satisfying on my Dell 19" CRT calibrated by my mate Huey.

...and Pentax are a relatively small company, I'll bet their engineers are working flat out on the lenses in the current roadmap, so it might take a couple of years to get around to the new primes (maybe released at the same time as the K1D )

we'll be able to download other people's "skins" and take our own photographs using them.


...and along will come the first camera viruses, followed by anti-virus software and firewalls built-in to the camera, then spy ware and trojans, followed by antispyware etc etc...

Being hardware based, an X-Sync socket would have to be added in a newer version hardware support.
Would that be on the K1D then ?
