No interest whatsoever? Too expensive? Should I split the grip off?

Shutter count is a tick over 42200.

I took the cam to work today (will probably do so again tomorrow to get a "stairs" shot.....) and this little lot came out. I have a couple more from this evening that I haven't processed yet, I'll add those later.

In the mean time.. WB is a pain when it's overcast and Win7 decides to remove your monitor calibration (ARGH!).

Chronological order, or close to:
#1

#6 (this one taken with a 135/3.5)

Comments appreciated!

I use my D-FA 50 (Macro) for all sorts; macro generally really does have the lock on and move for focus.
Wasn't the FA50 supposed to be the best resolving Pentax lens ever?

got snow? twist. Otherwise I personally prefer levers.

I have a 190B with804 head and will probably change the head at some point not too far away for a 486RC2 or 322RC2.

Hmm. I have a line on an old revuenon (5.6) - and I'm wondering whether I should go for it if the PF is going to be that bad.....

UFRaw should support the K7 natively.

summer tyre rubber is set up for high temps and so below 7 or so (pick a number below 10), winter tyres work better. Conversely, winters wear faster in warmer conditions.

Viking winters are set up for -10 downwards so wear extremely quickly in 20degrees (2mm lost in 1000km).

Because I can and it would be interesting, I will ask Audi UK if they have anything against me creating and selling (with the intention of making a profit) calendar picturing A2s. I am 100% sure that they will knock it on the head.

Another example, from here: http://boingboing.net/2008/01/13/ford-car-owners-are.html

Quote:
I got some more info from the folks at cafepress and according to them, a law firm representing Ford contacted them saying that our calendar pics (and our club's event logos - anything with one of our cars in it) infringes on Ford's trademarks which include the use of images of THEIR vehicles.

Trademarks expire after 25 years IIRC, so classics would be out of scope.

I think buildings work differently, but not very....

The Burj Al Arab is a tower hotel located in Dubai.

Any imagery where the hotel is either isolated, or the main focus of the image should not be submitted to the RF collection.

The fastpack 200 is pretty good, too; that's my spare bag. Just found the D-Res 40 again, so I might try and attach that to the side of the 650AW for some more cable / flash storage space before I get into the pocket thing.

And then I need a bigger one, because the old Revuenon 300mm that's coming won't fit. Too many lenses....
