Call lowepro, you'll get them - I got new inserts for my fastpack200 for £8, posted.

I would argue that an ND would help on the top one, though....

I think, actually, we're going to use ACR and a preset in Lightroom to get the feel, along with a decent-ish portable printer and nice paper. That way we can re-use them in the lobby here after the event.

thanks!

Got a question for the hivemind: anyone got a good, quick, source for Polaroid cameras and film? There's a 60's themed party going on and one option would be to use these... the other is a lot more boring and involves eye-fi, Lightroom presets and iPads.

So: we're looking for 1-3 cameras and enough film to take 100+ exposures. Any thoughts?

thanks!

even if you don't understand it, I think this is pretty impressive.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pNmM4zuXho&feature=player_embedded

especially considering the normal state of a finn, mumbling unless he's been drinking

saw three at the weekend - two at the same time next to one another at Frankfurt. Man, they're big.

Nice clouds.

I left my third battery at the summer house after Easter. Number 2 was in the Grip at that point - showing orange on the display - and has been used as the "main" battery since; I'm 800 pics on and it was only just at red over the weekend. That's with using LV quite a bit, no internal flash.

I think you have a defective battery, the K5 kicks the K10's ass when it comes to battery life and the K10 wasn't too shabby to start with.

the Germans don't do "future" in that way - they make a statement about what will happen. Here it's even more extreme - you can walk into a petrol station, utter the word for coffee and it will be delivered. No greetings, no Ps or Qs, just minimal necessary communication. No future tense at all, either, which may explain some things....

I know, I'm wierd, I speak three languages at least semi-fluently and tourist-speak another two.

"two beers rejoicingly, my [boy]friend will pay"?

Try "zwei bier bitte - er zahlt"

And in CH it's always "Grüezi" to greet and "merci" for thanks, whether it's a German or French-speaking part, at least in my experience...and the Swiss revel in the fact that they speak a different language and rub it in wherever possible.

Yes, my (hochdeutsch) German is fluent, but it doesn't help much, at least it didn't last time I was in Zürich....

... as stated, I don't think you'll get much for the K10, probably around the £100 mark, depending. I know that I didn't regard it as being worth that little, so I kept mine and my daughter now uses it occasionally.
