I dont thnk there is any improvement in speed either, but accuracy does make a huge difference.

These are excellent, looks like Simon passed on lots of tips

My photography career didnt get going until i studied photography and started calling myself a photography student, then things moved really fast for me.

The fact you are doing a course shows you mean business. However most of the professional photographers i meet dont seem to have any qualifications or they tend to brag about being self taught. The problem with photography courses is that once you learn how a camera works you can only learn the rest by studying other photographers work and unfortunately most modern photogaphy also involves lots of time spent in front of a laptop editing in lightroom, photoshop or aperture and unless you can edit well e photography jobs just arent going to happen.

On my course 45 started and 7 finished it...

Put a new silica gel bag in the box.

If its going to be in storage for a year or more wouldn't you be better off selling it and keeping the money safe. In a years time I would think k-5 will be the same price as current k-7 values...

Mike, was this on the new mkii?? Have you compared it with the mki??

Interested as the difference in speed could be worth paying for to have it replaced in mine..

They keep banging out the updates for the mkii

Number two is a crop and she was also turning her head rather quickly so its actually slight motion rarther than focus, it was shot at 5.6 hence the coat and hair being sharper.

One was manual focus

Thanks have fixed that already, but now the adaptor wont relay the aperture information to the body without releasing the body lens lock release slightly and it still is not locking. It looks like the plastic on the adaptor where the locking claw clocks in has worn.

I think the adaptor is broken, now I have fixed the claw the aperture setting isnt being transmitted to the body unless I release the camera lens button slightly and knock back the lens, I have bought a fungal infected adaptall lens of ebay to try it out, see what happens...

Ok the claw isnt protruding out like that one in the inage and is really stiff. I have removed the back plate and found the spring had come removed. Hve refitted it all together and the claw is still not protruding and the adaptor is a little tighter but still not locking so i think i am going to have to get a scrap lens to fix it.
