For shooting at home get some florist's wire and push it up inside the stems if possible, easier to pose the flowers that way.
Excellent tip.

I don't think thats a KAF convertor as there is no autofocus shaft
Well spotted Gareth, it is actually a KAX, must have been wishfull thinking on my part. But at least i got it right in the actual advert.

A comparison with some 1.4x TCs would have been interesting
Would be happy to Tim, when you send me your Sigma 1.4x

The values are only nominal anyway. They refer to an unspecified
lens (probably 50mm) at an unspecified distance 1m or infinity..
who knows. Plus as you focus a telephoto closer it's focal length
becomes less and the 1.4x focal length will vary.
Indeed you have Algi, and valid comments. I feel a proper "scientific" test coming on, was wondering what to do this Saturday

Err? Pentax IS taken seriously by photographers, unless of course the terms "camera users/consumers" was meant as an insult to many of the members of this forum
Seriously, for once, I do feel insulted.

Was a bit disappointed in Suzi, maybe she is saving herself for the glamour episode.
Note to mods, cannot find the smiley for dirty old man?

plugs for Panasonic Lumix during the break
Think the "plugs" where paid for adverts (possibly at a discount". The pro in the programe used a Canon, and the 2 "beginners" used Lumix, plus the comp was for Lumix kit. But in fairness there was no bias expressed.

Curious how different people see different things. I really like the first one, could see it as a very large print, and i only have 3 criticisms.

1, The stars are are a distraction, clone them out.
2, There is a bright light 2 3rds the way up the Z brace on the right.
3, just above the bushes on the main column is slightly blown.

Correct above points and I would be quite happy to buy a large print, it is a cracking, original image of an often cliche`d bridge. The others are ok.
