put another coat of blue on my speakers after sanding them again with 800 and drying them in the oven - this time, no crinkles. I'll spray again tomorrow night and finish off on Saturday, so I can bake them on Sunday after sanding again with 800 or so and then I can start clearcoat. That will also need at least 5 coats... I want these to *shine*

On another note, my Zoom H2 is ordered, the only thing that isn't are the 32GB cards. The K5 is on its way, along with the other lenses, and I expect it to be here at 4 on Wednesday afternoon.
My icetrack meet is now full, so I'm sorted on that side, too.

I think winter landscape shooting is best done from either inside the car with the window open or from very close to the car. Your fingers can still grip the camera that way.

It also shows up an excellent use for (n)ever ready cases on things like the original KM - the back part stops your fingers going numb from holding a cold metal-edged camera body!
ahh, you need to visit my ice-track day

I got mine the other day, along with two spare batteries... now for the K5 to turn up. Need to order a recorder and a couple of 32GB SDHC cards and then I'm done.

true.... this is why parcels get sent to work and I trust my little brother to package stuff. He does a decent job, too.

run both as "administrator" using compatibility settings for XP SP2 and they will work. No additional software necessary.

... so buy them from a reputable retailer, like Amazon, who have something to lose.
32GB Ultra IIs (for my videos) come in at around €65 at the moment.

.. Bank transfer all the way. Within Europe it's virtually free now. Only the UK is still a grey area....

how likely are you to be out in snow and stuff? pretty likely. But TBH, I'd leave it at home and stick with those two. Maybe, as suggested above, a fast and small prime, too or macro (mine's all in one, as it's a D-FA50). I doubt it will get much use, but still...
