Went into work this morning... Did the work that needed doing and was sent home at lunchtime (I'm too damn efficient)...
Had my 50-200mm WR lens with me so pointed car at Shipley... These are the shots I kept, none of which are amazing...

Phone companies already send kill-codes to phone handsets (disabling both sim and phone) why should camera manufacturers not follow suit?
If I paid for it and you take it from me; I'm breaking it so you can't enjoy it.

However, thumbprint ID would be useful - would make buying/selling used equipment a face-to-face necessity - but I like the idea of a thief being completely unable to use my camera -
Maybe a GPS kill code makes more sense - Camera get stolen - Ring Pentax UK - Give serial number and pin code and Pentax transmit a kill-code to the camera making it a useless hunk of plastic with wires inside....

Uber-cheap and manual flash only takes about 4 hours to sus out... Once sussed not really much slower to use in the field than auto/pttl.

One could argue that you 'need' macro I suppose...
For a family camera (and of course sticking wiyh the brand) I'd be considering the K-01... Give the misses a chance to make images every bit as good as yours and gives you a second K-mount should you require it...

A second question is that whether I can use the Metz Flash gun on my camera. I prefer this if possible as the camera seems to balance properly when fitted together with the camera.However I have read a lot about Trigger voltages. Can someone advise me whether I can use this system? I cannot seem to find any information about this compatibility as Metz also seem to have a Flash gun with the same no which is digital

Hi Dave,
Very nice cinematique effect. Especially the blurry one.
Regards,
George
