I've noticed that they carry on a bit on DPR. You will get lots of opportunity to talk 'pictures' here. Welcome.

Wonderful set. You have used your privileged situation to great effect. No.6 is the standout one for me - thank you for the low down on it too.

Some of the images that are beginning to appear even on media that you think you control (i.e. one's own timeline on Twitter) are beginning to show glorified violence, particularly with firearms. We should not entertain it here as it can never be considered other than offensive, whether by design or implication. Even traditional hunting scenes are now offensive since the unnecessary taking of any life has become unacceptable to all but a few.

Wonder if they would do my *istD, or maybe the DS ?

If you already own a 135mm lens then buy a cheap set of Russian bellows off E bay. It will set you back all of £10. You might need a Pentax M42 to K mount adapter, depending on your 135mm's mount. That will give you better than 1:1 macro and much better than Raynox for considerably less cash ! Derek will confirm that this arrangement can be hand held around the garden with no trouble at all. Google "how to use macro bellows" for instructions (it's easy).

I had the K1 on a tripod in the park recently and a fellow came up and said, "Oh, I see you are still using one of those cheap old Pentaxes then." I replied, "Aye, 'appen." and carried on what I was doing. He walked away.

A wonderful opportunity and you have made the most of it. Super shots.

Well, I got to the bottom of it. If you push the 4 way controller to the right (3 o'clock position) you get a lot of scene modes (dunno what they are called). Somehow this had been altered so that the camera was using one called "muted" How several sequential button pushes terminating in OK managed to get executed is beyond me. The problem vanished when I restored it to "natural".

Thank you for your various suggestions.

That's curious. You clearly found them but I get 404 Page not found ! I will hunt them out on the site after logging in to it. Thank you.
