The focus on the first one is spot on and I like the little blue water spider, very jewel-like. I notice the Tamron's not in your sig any more - has it gone to pastures new now the Sigma's arrived?
I still have it, just needed to make room in my sig for others. The focus on the first one is spot on and I like the little blue water spider, very jewel-like. I notice the Tamron's not in your sig any more - has it gone to pastures new now the Sigma's arrived?

Hi Gang.
Sorry if this has been mentioned before.
But My K10D has been playing up.......not all the time and its easily fixed when it happens,
But every now and then, when using the battery grip, the camera locks the mirror up after takin a shot.
I need then to take both batteries out.....put them back in,and it resets itself......and may not hapen again for ages....
Any ideas please..
Thanks..
Duncan
You say it only happens when using the grip : Have you tried switching the grip and body batteries around. Hi Gang.

Has the firmware been updated. I would re-install it anyway just to eliminate any corruption it may have.
Could be the grip is faulty but i am not sure how that could cause the mirror to lock up. :
Hope that helps

As for the rest of you, I appreciate a good joke, but I would rather have some constructive comments to my images, even if I forgot to ask for C&C in my original post.
Sorry Terry but couldn't resist George's comment. As for the rest of you, I appreciate a good joke, but I would rather have some constructive comments to my images, even if I forgot to ask for C&C in my original post.
I am also in the office and my work computer is locked out of most sites where people store there online pics. So i couldn't see your pics to make a comment.
Normally i wouldn't say anything, but as i said i couldn't resist George's comment.

That must have been a difficult habit to break when you moved to the IOM George : I always used to smear myself in hyena dung when walking in lion country.

Could you possibly do some with the K10D and post them unprocessed please.
I have only had my K10D a couple of months but now there is £100 cashback on the K20D I am sorely tempted.
Sure, I just need to get it back off my brother (hopefully in one piece) who is in nothern Aust on a FWD expedition. I loaned it to him (reluctantly) along with my smc f 70-210 & A50 1.7 Could you possibly do some with the K10D and post them unprocessed please.

Looking through my older pics i have to say the K20 does have that little extra pop to them. Whether or not its enough to justify an upgrade i will leave it to you.
I find live view handy but could easily live without it
I like the extra MPs it allows a little extra scope when cropping. (good for macro)
Plus other features which don't come immediately to mind.
The price of K20s is still coming down and the K10s are still getting pretty good money SH if you are planning on selling it. If you are going to sell it, i have noticed its worth selling it with the kit lens and make sure they are boxed with all the cables, manuals and software.
So with that 100quid cashback it may well be worth your while

mmm, the colours are really nice.
Are you boosting them or do they come out of the camera like that?
Do like the second shot though ...

I like the second one, but the other looks like it's about 4 foot across .....
