Your right Kris, good pickup, they goofed on that one.

Love no2, looks very peaceful and serene.

I love looking at these old English houses and castles, fascinating.

So is this a private residence: or a museum of some kind.

Thanks guys it was a very fun day and very funny in parts also, I recommend it to anyone

The K20 DA50-135 combo was deliberate, it was overcast with a bit of rain, so all the weather sealing came in handy.

What I didn't count on was peaple using me as a shield thinking they wouldn't get shot as I was wasn't armed. Wrong on that count
I spent more time trying to get away from people to protect myself

And thats not me in No5 either Its my daughter.

Pete, The paintballs are very painful and if hit in the right place they can draw blood

My daughter got hit in the bare neck and I spent 15mins wiping away the tears, and trying not to laugh

Lets see your home movie Don

Thanks Martin, I will never live that down.

My son had his 21st birthday on Saturday and arranged for a day at Paintball with a group of family and friends.

I Volunteered to go in armed with only my K20 and the DA 50-135, although that did'nt stop them from shooting me on a number of occasions

Great lens and didn't let me down.

BTW those paintball pellets hurt like hell. My nephew again after vounteering to defend the fort to his last shot. He was a little sick and sorry afterwards as his wounds will attest. OUCH

I own the *ist DS as a backup to my K20. I use it mostly with my old takumar lenses, Great camera but I do miss the front wheel on occasions.

Might it have something to do with the battery power. extreme cold does affect batteries so the cold may be restricting the battery output,

-15 I didn't know it could get that cold. How do you live in that.

note to self: don't take brass monkey's with you if ever traveling in Canada

I think the way to go is, get yourself a Teleplus APK macro extender and remove the glass, No AF of course, but it will allow you to move it back and forth like a bellows and you get metering from the body.
You can pick them up reasonably cheap. I saw one last week go for 30quid.

Come on guys show Chris a little support and pop on over. If I were 10,000 miles closer I would be there in a flash

I can't see why not, but what do you consider a cheap AF teleconverter:
