My right eye!



(But you knew that already!)

Maybe my face is a funny shape but I sometimes press the "Menu" button with my nose whilst looking through the viewfinder!

I was proudly showing off my K10D to a lady, and she was suitably impressed until she held it in her hands.

"Hmm, not sure I'd get on with it like this, do they have a version with the battery compartment on the other side?"

Turns out she is left handed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinister). Do we have any lefties around here? How do you cope with modern digital SLR's which all seem to have theis "offset" design which favours us righties?

The detail in the full-sized image is amazing, and the subtly from the PRIME engine is superb. I suspect the pixel-peepers have climbed so high up the Kanikon tree they are afraid to fall off!

Oh and I've been really naughty (well it is my birthday in a couple of weeks) and bought the AF-360FGZ to keep the camera happy.

Stuck in the house due to poor weather, I decided that my K10D needed a studio, so I built one on the kitchen table.

I started photographing all the family heirlooms and knick-nacks.

This is a close-up of a pair of Antelope carvings that were given to my Mother by her Aunt who lived in Africa for a long time.




1 sec @ F13, ISO100 natural light from window. 16-45mm Lens on K10D

Yes, I should have cleaned the dust off the carvings before I photographed them!

I've used a Centon FH95 and a vivitar 6000 ring flash on the K10D without problems. But I've just gone weak and bought the AF360.

Very Funny anyone who enjoys that should score well on the geek test http://www.innergeek.us/geek.html

Well the Pentax Repair centre is in Langley, near Slough, which usually counts as "London Area"!

Just because you don't think they aren't out to get you, doesn't mean they are not out to get you!

Actually I have several email addresses, I use the yahoo one for signing up to websites, forums etc and others for personal or professional correspondence. This makes it easier to check where leaks to spammers and phishers have occurred.

Acutally the "next big thing" may well be trawling http://tinyurl.com/yly823

Paranoia comes of being an "IT Guy" by day!

No, it's the technical people behind the domain "pentaxworld.com" who are using gmail email accounts. I'd have expected them to have email accounts at pentaxworld.com or at a webhosting company domain (e.g. [email protected]">[email protected])

Now it does not mean that the site is a scam, it's just "unexpected" in my expeience.
