quite correct - clay bricks, not masonary blocks

sorry for the confusion

I recently moved from the k100 to the k20

what a difference, entirely different camera and took me about two months to get used to the differences. Only regret is that I didnt upgrade sooner.

If your budget can stretch - get a 10 - 20 mm zoom, outstanding the difference from stock 18-55mm kit zoom

well scuffster

Its not what you've got, it's how you use it!

Its you who thinks about the composition, and the settings on the camera so it doesnt really matter what make or type of camera you have but you have to be aware of each cameras limitations.

Ive happily used Pentax for nearly 30 years - but used other cameras through my jobs (Nikon, Fuji up to Mamiya RZ).

yep, 'fraid to say Jessops are on the ropes

The store closures dont seem to have been enough, a friend of mine has recently been made redundant as their lab manager - as it would appear to be false economy to have a shop with two managers (one for lab and another for shop)

I have just moved house, and I was going through my box of odds and ends in the study when I came across my trusty old ME-Super that I bought in my youth in 1984 (doesnt time fly).

I took it out of the case, I havent used in in best part of ten years or more( as I have gradually upgraded my cameras over the years - as we all have) and switched it on; lo and behold there was still life in the batteries

ME-Super now spring cleaned and out on display, bless!
