Thanks for your kind comments Greytop and mr mellow. The landscapes were mainly shot with a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6.

It seems to me that Pentax and Olympus think more carefully about how and in what circumstances cameras are used and develop useful features that Canikon later copy. If the K7 had a tilt/swivel screen a-la Olympus it would be very close to being the perfect APS-C camera.

Thankyou kind Ko1obos, I was getting the hang of the K20's exposure foibles whilst shooting the Shetland gallery. It is a fabulous place for photographers or, indeed, any tourists. Very friendly natives, no traffic problems (a traffic jam is a rabbit and one car waiting at a junction!, a very well organised ferry system running between the islands and all that amazing scenery.

The Fireworks gallery on my site was also shot with the K20d, a first attempt at fireworks which came out better than I expected - due to the camera of course!

Cheers

Hmm, just under half my age, thanks for making me feel reeelly reeelly old!

Concur with womble, I have used a polariser on the excellent Sigma 10-20 with very mixed results. I wouldn't bother.

Shoot sharp

Hi all! Been around the houses, so to speak, with various camera manufacturers but finally came to my senses and bought a K20d. Love it but am lusting after a K7! Looking forward to nattering to quite a few of you in due course.

If anyone is interested, I spent a week in the Shetland Isles just after I bought the K20d. The results can be seen here www.chris-carter.co.uk/shetland. It was a new camera - the defence rests!

Shoot sharp
Chris
