Comment by davem posted on Why a 50-135 SDM is better than a 16-50 SDM at 23/01/2011 - 19:50
A good news update
After spending months of frustration with the 16-50 only autofocussing when it felt like it, I contacted SRS who sent the lens onto Pentax for checking under their TWO year guarantee. ( only 10 weeks of it left!)
Pentax have replaced the autofocus motor at no charge under the guarantee THANKS PENTAX
THANKS TO SRS for the 2 year guarantee and for honouring it with the second owner.
Now for some sunlight and I can go and play
Happy Dave

Next time I will try and record all the details... as fungi are often quite specific to their host .

Forced early retirement looks on the cards after easter thanks to the govt cutbacks...
...still that would give me more time to ponder if it is worth going out 'in this light' for a photo. I think that this is a winter problem - mid winter, post Christmas blues. The shortest day has gone but the daylight does not seem to increase much
Right the grey cloud is lifting I am off out now.

The pale body reminded me of that filling material you squirt into holes, or a crunchie, sponge. There was a definite oozing of liquid..
The growth was a reasonable size - 8" high by 4" wide.

Looking through last summers photos I found this one that had not been labelled. The growth was on the trunk of tree in Shropshire in June. Of course i did not make note soI have no idea what the tree was.
