Mannesty claims that he copied the actual press release that was shut down by Pentax. It certanly has the Pentax style, and I suspect it was the real thing. We'll know tomorrow.

Your "piddly little" 51mm 1.4 is known to be one of the finest fast fifties available anywhere in the world. I have two, and M and an A, and I use them for portraits on the digital cameras all the time.

I suppose it could give a new meaning to the idea that your camera's software has a virus!!

The Macbook Pro is supposedly the fastet laptop for Photoshop, when it's running XP Pro, oddly enough. Dell also makes some decent machines.
A laptop screen is not the best for photo editing, but it's very useful in the field before you get the images back to your main rig.

Excellent photo, great composition. The picture seems to actually move!
Great choice of subject!

Don't know anything about the 14, but the 12-24 is absolutely amazing for a zoom lens. Distortion small enough that you can ignore it, flare amazingly well controloed (tested with a photo directly into the sun, no flare at all), for a modern lens pretty solid. Note I said "for a modern lens".
You'll have to take off the hood when using an on-camera flash, but since I use a Strobaframe with an old Vivitar 285, it's not an issue for me.
Love the lens.

I kind of like the blue design. It's easier on the eyes.

Pros who use Pentax 35mm and digital are those of us with large lens collections that would be prohibitively expensive to replace. That meas we started in the "60s or "70s when Pentax and Zeiss were the top dogs.
Pentax wisely kept backwards compatability, something Nikon and the copier-company have not done.
I suspect the K10D is going to create quite an uproar in the C and N camps!

Anybody suggest trap-focus?
You set the camera on manual focus, use a manual focus lens or the manual focus ring on your autofocus lens, and set it up so as you track the quarry, when it enters the focus distance you've set the shutter goes off.
