When you look through your viewfinder you first look through a serrie of lenses and then through the prism, I believe one of those lenses is misaligned the focus screen as said here above shouldn't matter too much but you can always look if it's inserted correctly.

I wouild simply go back to SRS and let see what they can do before you wreck something.

I must say that it makes the forum much more personal. There is less hiding behind your internet identity so to say.

Will upload a photo of me when I've a good one, will ask my brother although he has never used a (D)SLR so don't expect much

One feature I've my question marks with is the "filters" you can aply to your photos with your camera.
I don't see why you would want to do that in camera when it's easier and better to do on the PC, it's the same with the HDR on the K7.
If you've the prgram it's a matter of seconds and you get a better result and you've more control, these are things that are unneeded and shouldn't be on the more advance models of cameras.
The filter might be usefull (fun) for beginners but for the more advance user I believe that they would prefer the PC for more control.

Mike, what I mean with being "halted" is when they stop you because you broke the law. Here they need to have a reason to request for your ID, how it is in the other countries I don't know.

Since we have this rule here it speeds up the work for the police when you're being arrested, they know for sure that you are you and besides that it isn't really being used and in such a way it's used propable and I don't see any reasons to object against that.

Joe I think that the Bits and Bytes can take some rocking around till they get mixed up

Most features are software based now a days, there isn't a mechanical component added in the last 10 years or so.

I think it's a bit pointless to go back again, it's like the "old" people saying that everything was better in the old days.

When shooting who of you go into the menus?
I believe no one does, maybe some to change white balance but that's it for the most of us but that's under the FN button.
Basicly during shooting there is no need to go into the menu so why are you complaining?
Now you can customize the camera to your liking, it's a bit when using different kind of film in the old days.

The CCTV numbers came from a BBC report of 2006, here is the link

Since when is it offence that you need to wear a propper ID?
They can only ask for it here when they are doing a preventive surveillance or when you being halted, so they need to have a raeson to ask for your ID.
Really it isn't bad it's just a card as big as a bank pas so I don't see a problem.

If it's 1 to 14 with the cameras then London must be hanging full with them
I believe that we aren't allowed to aim them to a public road for prvicy reasons but I can be wrong about that.

*cough* Police state *cough cough*
I didn't say that

What was the number of surveillance cameras, I believe it was 1 for every 14 persons in Britian or are this old numbers?

About those rules it seems that Pentax is useing a different one.
If you set your camera on an automatic mode, depending on the setting but if the shutter speed is low you see it change when zooming.
Out of my head with the DA*50-135, it use 1/30th with 50mm and 1/125th with 135mm and I must say that I can keep them sharp with those speeds as long as the subject isn't moving.

Th rule is what Peter said shutter speed is lens focal length but that was for 35mm and angle of view is important with this so you need to use 1.5x to get the accurate result.
but most of the time with SR I would say that you don't need the 1.5x any more.

Just read my own commentwith a bit more fresh eyes and mind, the first sentance wasn't an attack on you Reuben it was just something I had troubles myself with a lot. That's were that yellow thing is for

Yes because I had the diopter not right adjusted

Throw the lens out of focus and point it at a wall or something so that you don't see anything distracting in the screen, now adjust the diopter till you see the information in your viewfinder sharp.
