I use the Lowepro Compudaypac. Its not that big in the bottom camera section, maybe hold the K10 and a couple of lenses, but you can always put another lens or two in the top section if needed and the laptop has its own compartment in the top. I picked mine up for about 45quid.

Just a couple of questions is it possible to use the lcd screen as a viewfinder?

Also ive had a go and i cant seem to make the shutter speed long so i can get really good road pics of car headlights etc

Only got it today so not really tried all functions yet but it looks the part and seems a well built solid camera

Any tips i should be looking at doing to get some good pictures like some favourite settings you have etc?

Thanks

No you can't use the LCD screen as a viewfinder for live view, you should have waited until Friday when the K200 is announced. I believe it will have liveview.

As for the shutter speeds, what mode are you running it in : . Put it into M, P, or av mode sorry i can't remember what other modes it has and change the shutter speed from there.
Anyway read your manual it will all be in there. If you don't have one you can download it from the Pentax web site.

This rather large moth (about 50mm) was sitting on a friends outdoor furniture. I didn't have my macro lens so i snapped it using the DA16-45
and the results were quite pleasing.

Thats a nifty idea Tyr i will give it a try myself
I reversed a 50mm M f2.0 onto my 200mm A f4 but found it difficult to get any decent results. I used sticky tape to join them
This was one of the better attempts (excuse the 800iso i forgot to change it) This tiny bug was only about 1mm in size.
Its a fiddly exercise but a lot of fun
