I'm sure Eneloops are fine - but Uniross Hybrios work very well for me. They were better on test here too .. link

It's not that hard to get a decent result with a long lens. This was taken, hand held, with a 45 year old Tamron 400mm f7.5 lens on a K200D.

I use "M" about 90% of the time, with manual focus lenses - "Av" with the kit lens for the other 10%.

The two manual zooms I wouldn't hesitate to recommend are the Pentax M 75-150mm

I'll second that. It's one of my favourite lenses.

you take the extra step there of formally registering your copyright, is to simply seal a copy of the item in an envelope and post it to your self (or your lawyer).

If you always take photos using RAW, wouldn't possession of that RAW be sufficient proof of ownership of the copyright for JPEGs created from it?

The environment of commercial magazines is inherently biased towards consumption. Magazines need to find products for people to spend their money on, on a continuous and regular basis.

Don't they also tend to exaggerate the differences between products that, to most people, are vanishingly small?

It really wouldn't do for a magazine to do group tests on lenses and then proffer the "Ken Rockwell" style conclusion that all the lenses are plenty sharp and it doesn't really matter which you buy. Pretty soon they'd have a falling readership and then they'd go bust as advertisers withdrew their support.

Thanks Andrew - does that mean I will be able to see PEF thumbnails??John

I can now see my K200D PEF thumbnails in Explorer. You will also be able to, as your K7 is a supported camera.

Have had a look - seems interesting but not sure what to download and whether it will work. I have windows 7, 64 bit. Does anyone know which one I should download - if any!!

I also have Windows 7, 64 bit. The 64 bit version of the codec works fine. Yes, I know the filename has "amd64" in it, but it work fines for Intel processors too (mine is an i5).

If you have a 64bit Intel processor and 64bit Windows, the x86 download doesn't work in Explorer. You need to download and install the file "MicrosoftCodecPack_amd64.msi", which I originally assumed was specific to AMD processors.

Is it just me or are Microsoft getting weirder .........
