Then yesterday afternoon got the go ahead to shoot Florence & The Machine at Nottingham Arena, beautiful lighting, a little LED but not a lot & beautiful looking lady to boot.

This is very true, but possibly you meant "wary", and "warily"

Hmm

"so with the tiniest bit of initiative pictures can be seen."

With a tiny bit of an initiative you could have linked to the photos by using the link button below / then there would have been no need to copy n paste the link.

If a stranger came up to you in the street offering a lens for sale, but you have to pay them there & then and then wait for them to get the lens to you would you do it???

Exactly the same in the virtual world...

Think the problem is only 8 posts, 4 on this thread alone, no photos of said item & payment by bank transfer.

Would you buy on that spec???

Can't it? Even without manipulation, is not anything but a standard lens for a format a "lie" of sorts? Even the camera angle...but then it's not the camera but the photographer who creates the "lie".
So, all photographs used in court are lies, so let all the "criminals" free because they were judged by false evidence!!
I think the only photographs you will see in a court will be those taken by forensic scenes of crime officers or by recognised speed registering cameras or their operators. photos taken by the public will be very rarely used as evidence. Private CCTV maybe used, but that is usually stored on hard drive and taken away very near to the time of the committed crime hence avoiding doubt of reliability..

Pentax suffers from poor brand awareness. What I mean by this is that not a lot of people know about Pentax or its history.

If you ask just about anybody if they have heard of Nikon, Canon, Casio, Fuji, Panasonic, Sony etc. they will all say yes. Pentax? Nope.

How about Hasselblad, Leica, Phase One, Mamiya???

Most people wouldn't recognise these cameras as a brand either

Iphone
HTC
Nokia
Samsung

Yet they probably sell more photo taking equipment than any camera manufacturer...
