My pick would be Lenny Henry.

They should just prosecute these idiots not warn them.

1. You can get Pentax K adaptors for the Samsung, Sony & micro 4/3 cameras.

2. You lose all functions (obviously). NO af, stopped down metering only.

3. I believe there are some adaptors that enable use of the Pentax DA lenses, which do not forget have no aperture rings...which makes any aperture adjustment impossible.

"This pi$$es me right off, why are 3rd party lens manufacturers stopping the Pentax mount. Is the grand plan for Sony, Nikon and Canon to be the only brands with 3rd party lens support - Sod off then Cosina!"

Brusque & juvenile post....I do not see any Cosina products in your list of lenses. Not enough sales to justify continuing making these. Cosina are a BUSINESS.

SOLD....

SOLD pending payment.

"Does anyone else get fed up with seeing these type of competitions and galleries awash with HDR?"

YES. I am also fed up of grad filters, sunset/sunrise shots, obvious use of ND filters, use of ultra wide shots on beaches with stones, heavy use of extra contrast & saturation. The worst are the so so gimmicky work.

There is very little landscape work which is really original or even interesting. Most shooters follow the herd like sheep.

Give me work like that of Fay Godwin anyday...

The K7/K5 might have 100% coverage, but do not forget that is only part of the story, the more important part is the magnification of the viewfinder and I believe I am correct in saying that although the K7/K5 has better coverage, they have lower magnification. I think the K10D/K20D & K7/K5 to all intents and purposes have virtually identical sized viewfinders.
