Word of caution, high powered laptops run on the hotter side of warm. I thought I`d stuffed my new one whilst extolling the virtues of Photoshop.

Extra cooling is a wild idea and works. I bought from that famous south American river site a Belkin laptop cooler with a USB powered fan. No more spectacular shutdowns and a much cooler lap.

Don, it worked ok till WD40 came along. The guy that used it thought it would enable the plugs to insert easier. Wrong!!!

Many years ago a helpful person sorted out the telephone exchange with WD40 on a ship I knew. Never did work after that. Contact cleaning on my bodies and lenses is done in the Womble fashion for me too, tee, polo or whatever.

WD40 - sure it drives off water just as the name implies. But as it dries out it leaves a nice layer of grease. Not too good on rubber either can cause it to swell.

Same here, I was about to trash a Tamron 28 - 300 lens because of poor results on the K10. After assaulting the settings via the Debug Mode and adjusting to +150 the Tamron is fine. Curious though my other lenses don`t suffer with that setting. I now leave the K10 set to + 150 for them all.

Welcome, K10D is a very nice piece of kit. Quite a few folk use them to great effect. Look forward to seeing some of your pics.

Fish and chip supper from Beadnel chippy, rock pooling too just a bit further along. Boat trip around Cocquet Island with Dave from Puffin Cruises.

Just amazed how many points of view emanated from one kerazy steering wheel attendant.

Shows the value of a camera at your side.

Cedric (also a cyclist) got sent flying by a dopey car driver 18 months ago. He forgot his trailer was wider than the car.
