@Dangermouse - how much did the OEM K-x cost and where from if you don't mind me asking? Maybe an option if cleaning does not do a nice enough job? The KatzEye sound good but pretty expensive. An option though.

Well well,thats interesting, not much of a response, from which I infer there is not general usage of filters any more,I am surprised.

The other observation I would have made has already been raised by Doug,
and that was pertaining to the choice of lens. I wondered if this choice,
more so than the crop, was what was giving the image a slightly 'compressed' look?
Perhaps that's what Doug was intending too.

I think with the first image you took too much of a compromise to get a nice reflection that the car isn't nice in the photo, the angle feels odd.
The second one is better and it works well but I get the feeling also their it's a compromise but that hasn't to be a bad thing.

go down 2 from there and there's a really nice snowy bleak landscape and directly under that a capsised boat thats uber colourful - nice . Lots of terrible HDR in there that looks well over done.
But yeah a lot look over done indeed.
There is however one that's over done that I like though.
It's the one in the beginning in the church with the painting and the sun rays.

Had a rather interesting one from a Nikon user today, which I wasn't able to answer. Hopefully someone here can! Does Pentax SR cope with tracking?
Btw you could ask does your VR compensate for tilt
That's something they can never get done with lens based SR

Stefan I am not sure what you mean by contentiousfocus
But like others say it should give a focus conformation then.

Your flash might not work in auto mode on the newer DSLR, unless it also support P-TTL.
TTL use the metering of the camera but Auto use a light sensitive sensor in the flash and use the information about aperture and ISO to calculate the right flash power.

When I wrote auto mode, I meant P-TTL. Some old Pentax flashes don't have auto mode, if I remember correctly.
For the voltage, any Pentax flash is good to be used if you've another brand of flash you need to be careful with some models but since you said the flash has TTL it's so good as safe, it's the older flashes that can give quite a voltage
