If you can't get out to SRS, then Jacobs at the northern end of London Bridge has the DA* 16-50 in stock in their window (along with several other Pentax lenses, 100mm Macro and 12-24mm, Pentax Flashguns). It is £499 which is £20 more than in SRS.

Thanks for the heads up, my bid is in on one of the items!

Something a little different, taken at 18mm (Kit lens) with 0.42 fish eye adaptor, making it equilavent to 7.6mm!

Taken from two exposures and merged in PSP X.

Some I print, however most stay on the harddrive where I view them every now and then.

Eventually I will get a digital photo frame; however, I am waiting for an electonic paper (colour e-paper) frame to be produced that will run on a battery and not need to be plugged in.

It is not "locking" AE at the same as AF, but linking the AF point into the AE system.

Actually, on my K10D there are two custom settings, one is Link AF Point and AE as you say and following your advice I have turned this off.

However, there is a second option: "AE-L with AF locked", this is the setting I am referring to here.

I have been considering setting my custom setting on my K10D for locking exposure at the same time as locking focus.

I was wondering what the general consensus was for this and if it was advisable or not. I would be using it with spot and centre weighted metring.

You need the DA* 16-50 for that!

I use a 300GB Western Digital Works very well for me.

I bought some mixed nuts and raisins and it not only said: "Warning, contains nuts" but also said "this product has been packed in a factory that handles nuts" - treats us like nuts more like!
