Great idea! I have a fisheye adaptor, would that fit within the rules you have in mind? Otherwise, my widest is only 18mm!

My choice, if I had them would be the Pentax DA 12-24, though around water I might be tempted to take the DA* 16-50! Both are on my shopping list!

Kood filters fit the Cokin 'P' System 7 Day Shop shocks them in the UK there is an ND2, ND4 and ND8, there may be a more local stockist for you.

I enjoyed your guessing Tony-o. The softness will be the closeup filter - a clue that it was something small - it was a Mac 5 razor! At least my image managed something

It seems that I am a Pentax Pro Master! I wish my photos were too!

How about Pentax Pro Addict

Value is a relative thing and cannot always be measured in £. That is why I had my mother's MV serviced and repaired (the cost is for both) it was the fist SLR I ever used. The fact that I could sell it for maybe £10 does not represent its true value to me.

On the other hand, my mother's LX was very economical to repair

I haven't experienced anything like this but from experiance with computers crashing, it usually indicates a hardware or software problem (Microsoft never blaim the OS!). The last significant issue I had with my PC behaving badly turned out to be a memory problem. The K20D has RAM just like a PC, I suggest it might be worth having it checked out none the less.

I think this is too easy, then I did take the picture!



Tamron 70-300 + Closeup+3

I had one of these! Great camera, never a moments trouble except at my sister's wedding where I miss loaded the film!

Just though I would mention Harrow Technical, they list repare for £56.50 - great service. If you don't want to get it fixed, they also buy, may be worth a look.

Good judging Peter, don't have to be sorry about my picture!

I am here to learn and better understand what makes people sit up and take notice of your picture. Moving from film to digital was not as straight forward as I though it might be. I am getting to grips with contrast, saturation and exposure and getting better with my image editing software at getting these right (I could always do the cloning/manipulation bit).

Now perhaps I can spend more time on exploring different compositions and taking more time when I have it! Normally my two young children don't allow me the luxury of time to explore too many angles.

This is only the second fortnightly comp I have entered and I think I should have started entering sooner, it really does get you thinking and out there to take something new and better! This may help me to lift my pictures from the ordinary.

As for me, Lilly and Tony-O stood out for me!
