There is also the thing that there might come a 645D afterall so a upgrade to digital might be there over some years when I've mature some more.
Just have a look on ebay and it's hard to find a good 67 for a nice price although I've found this one, what do you think? link
I can of course get the 67 if the price is right and if I want to go to the digital 645 I can also get an adaptor in the end.

I also don't mind being it full manual, I've used with delight M lenses from my uncle.
The 105mm is 6cm long, filter size 67 mm and weights 590 gram.
the 200mm is 12cm, filter size 67 mm and 900 gram.
Seems reasonable to me, okay maybe a bit heavy
I had a look at the pentax 67 but that thing is a beast in his own righ, I do fancy a 645n maybe later. Still trying to find the 645nII, any one has an idea for how much they go by on ebay?
Like I said I do fancy a 645n in time so is it worth to get an adapter for it or is it better to look for 645 lenses? I think I can get them both for €20 so it isn't such a big gamble.

The Metz 48 is also capable depending on what you need so give that one a look too if you don't like the interface of the Sigma.
Or else just save a bit more and get the AF540FGZ, is my advice.
Better get the one you want then to go halfway because of the money and decide later that you want to get the Pentax one, it would be more waste of the money in the end.

Pentax SMCP-67 200mm f/4 (this a SMC Takumar btw)
Pentax SMCP-67 105mm f2.4
I've trully no idea but they are now less then €12 with 3 days left so I think I can take the gamble.
Both are as good as new, only little wear by use.
Now don't take them away from my nose now, if they are any good
just see that I make a stupid spelling error in the title, sorry but it's 3:20 AM over here so I've an excuse.
Have been looking on the web for some reviews and most gave thumbs up for these lenses so it looks like they are worth €15

I've some A4 here, they are 225 g/m2.
Don't know how much cheaper they are but I've bought some packs of 2 for 1.

You need to have a clean website adress that ends on JPG, it looks like you have that but there are some codes around it that aren't right.
you only need to have (img)image-adress(/img) and nothing more.
THe B&W shots from the cactus(?) is great, the sharpness and the oof works well together.

it depends a bit on how you've uploaded your photos.
a width of 800px is the best for this forum.
If you click on the photo you hev the option to resize to 1024x768.
With my browser i can then do right click on the image and say "copy image adress" I then simply click on the Image button that you see under the messages you're typing, the smilies and such are also there.
If you press the "image" button it will create some img codes and simply past the image adress in between them.
So you get;
(img)image-adress(/img)
(img)image-adress(/img)
The image adress needs to end with JPG, PNG or the likes.
oh the () are [] but if i use thos you wont see it.

What if you have a fire at home or I don't know maybe ligthing striking your PC, an EMP experiment goes wrong near your place, you still will lose everything.
If you once a month use a external drive and store the drive at another place, you're quite sure that you still have most of your photos if anything happen. Except of course if the law of murphy comes along but no one can protect themself against that
About how long DVD will last, it depends on the sealing method, reflective layer, organic dye makeup, where it was manufactured, and your storage practices. if you keep all media out of direct sunlight, in a nice cool dry dark place, in acid-free plastic containers; this will triple the lifetime of any media.
Normall DVD's will last from 30 to 100 years and rewritable up to 30 years. Also DVD+R will last longer then DVD-R because of technical reasons, error correction, ‘wobble’ tracking and the data writing method is inferior compared to DVD+R
The Taiyo Yuden ‘Super Cyanine’ DVDs are considered the best for long storage because of there chemical stability. THey sell them under another brand and these are the brands link
I've verbatim and they still look very pretty if compared to some very cheap DVDs I've.

Will your camera's lens mount support 900g?
Thank you Shim, I already saw that adapter but an af adapter for that price would be nice
