One small point of worries though Does this mean we have a second Clarky on our hands I mean........How much can a human stand. All those creepy critters, right under our bottom. Please tell me you actually like architecture a lot more, Please with lots of sugar :

There wouldn't be much in the way of architecture where Don is from, unless you like cow sheds and lean toos But plenty of bugs Absolute fantastic photo's.

You only have to see 2 bugs togther and you know they are talking about a cow

Thanks Clarky.
Malanda is 80 klm inland from Cairns, known mainly for it's dairy.
I have not had a trailie for a few years but will be looking after the UK trip,
Been running around on Mr bloors Triumph products for the last 12 years.
If you ever get up this way give us a shout.
Thanks mate will do Thanks Clarky.

Thats why i have never heard of it, I have have been to Cairns once but only passing through on my way too the cape.
Have fun on your UK junket I was there for a couple of weeks last May, loved it.
Being from Somewhere as remote as Malanda and getting into London will be a contradiction of life styles i'm sure
Some very friendly and knowlegable folk on this forum who can point you too many great photo locations.

Wow very nice shots
I love #1 and the colours are great.
Gotta love the tammy 90mm, I have one myself.
I see in your intro you are into bikes, I am kinda into them myself. I mainly do trail riding south of Sydney when i get the chance and would love to get up to your neck of the woods as i am told there are some great trails to explore.
Can't say i have heard of Malanda Though : Is that near Mackay :
Good luck and keep those macros coming

Its not really possible, something to do with the diameter of the mount,
Canon= Big Hole
Pentax= Smaller (but much more refined ) hole
Canon users on the other hand have no problem aquiring an adaptor to use Pentax lenses.
Quick edit:
Damm, Mongoose bet me to it and also put it more eloquently
PS whats the plural of Mongoose?
Mongeese : Mongooses : Mongolians : I give up Its not really possible, something to do with the diameter of the mount,

ah well, worth asking, he has said I can borrow the 1D also, but he is 100 miles away so I would be in for a lot of driving if I had to keep giving the body back every day. whereas the lens is just a door stop most of the time.
Hows the Bigma Clarky? I don't think I've heard anything bad about them, apart from a few gripes about weight and needing a tripod
Are you happy with it?
I haven't used it as much as i would like but from what i have done with it i am very happy. ah well, worth asking, he has said I can borrow the 1D also, but he is 100 miles away so I would be in for a lot of driving if I had to keep giving the body back every day. whereas the lens is just a door stop most of the time.

yes it is heavy and a tripod is advisable if you are using it at the long end.
I hope to get away in a couple of weekends time and give it a good work out.
The wife keeps finding me jobs around the house Like paint the sons bedroom, I say hes 20yo and can paint it himself, She says if you want it done right do it yourself Nag nag nag Lifes a chore

A friend of mine has some very expensive Canon telephoto lenses which I can borrow. Is there an easy way to mount these on my K10D?
I assume not, as there would be less moaning about sports lenses for Pentax if it was possible.
I am not expecting anything but manual focus and stop down metering, but I'm used to that.

For starters the canon mount is larger so it won't fit into the throat of the pentax body Thus you would lose infinity focus

Still need to look at finances I think, tot up what I can sell to (partially)cover the cost. Still a bit miffed that the price jumped up £100 here.

Don't sell anything you will regret later, I am always doing that Clarky wrote:
I will help you decide Dan BUY IT
Just because you can't help yourself when a pretty lens comes into view... I will help you decide Dan BUY IT

The reason for the price hike is probably due to demand i am assuming :
BTW are those ducks them Hoodies you been harking about They look pretty mean
Thanks Chirpy If you ever want to sell that sigma 180 macro keep me in mind They are a little scarce over here and not many come up on e-bay either. new or used.
BTW do you have a gold mine in your backyard : You sure are getting a nice collection together.
