Just did a reinstall of Windows 7 X64 Ultimate because of some problems that where caused by install Adobe CS5 over CS4 and then unstalling CS4

I also bought a new faster bigger harddisk Samsung F3 1TB if you want to know and just freshly installed win7 on it
Now I can check my other disks and remove everything that I don't need.

My experience with XP (never had Vista) was that the computer always felt much faster with a freshly installed OS but this time, I do have that feeling as well but far less then used to be.
Start up is going faster but everything just feel as snappy when it was running so it seems windows finally have an OS that can run a year without clogging up

A plastic one, are you serious?
I never would have thought that would be able to damage the lens

RAW is great but it can become a little tedious having to convert all those files.
Convert?
They go on to my PC as RAW and they are kept as RAW through the whole process till the finished product, only then for web they are converted to JPG.

Seriously, it isn't as hard as that clip might suggest to damage the coating on a lens. Guess how I know.
What happened Oggy?

It depend on what kind of abuse the lens gets.
I don't think any branch or normal English day should be ale to damage the lens. It's when something harder then the coating and something small that you should worry about, like sand for example like peter says or something corrosive like salt water.

You could go on a day trip to Hull and collect it Stefan!

€69 Rotterdam Hull and back. Probably more than the postage though.
Nah, what I want is 26 pound so the trip would cost double as much

That's because of the way the lens is make, there is a clutch between the focus ring and the actual focus elements inside the lens.
The reason is that the focus ring takes up a lot of space on the lens and when you hold the lens you will hold it on the focus ring as well most likely, it would be highly unpleasant if the focus ring will turn when using AF that's why there is a clutch between it.

The DA*50-135 also does the same and I'm sure there are also other lenses with the same feature.

The P-TTL always seems to underexpose a little so that the flash doesn't burn the highlights. With the K10D I also use +0.7 EV to get a better exposure and I know it was the same on the K20D from users here.

They have changed the exposure with the K7 but not with the KM I believe, but I aint sure.
