pharosparcel.com. They use UPS; it's fast and insurable.

there *is* no 24-70 from Pentax.

There's a 28-70 in * and a 28-70 in FA... but no 24-70.

I like mine. It's sharp. But damned heavy.

nearly time to go to bed here. Need to do some sanding tomorrow, 180grit wasn't enough, needs to be 400. Then I can maybe do some oiling... maybe.

with a bit of luck, new tyres on the motor tomorrow, too. Damned things are impossible to clean, though (yes, I have waxed them in the hope of keeping them looking halfway towards OK for a few weeks...)

at least on the top corners, it's because I was shooting directly into the sun and it's a strong ND.

I said I would remove the plates, that's all. There have been cases of plates being cloned and issues with parking and speeding tickets as a result.

I did a couple of landscapes yesterday... this is with the 0.9ND and the 10-24. Unsharpened, just exposure / curve / WB 'corrected'.

errr... shoot with the flash on Manual with a diffuser on? I never trust flash metering.

Take what the camera thinks (like 1/100@f, change the flash to 1/4 power and see what happens. Work from there, IMO.

... I get to go in about five weeks and three days.

And I'm taking a ferry. Doing Hamburg / Oberhausen / Duisburg / Venlo / Eindhoven / Turnhout / Antwerp / Gent / Calais.
The route back is easy and I know it in my sleep: Calais / Gent / Bruxelles / Liege / Köln.
