Nobody has commented on that wonderful bokeh.

I think getting a result that good is well worth a rocket for using the kitchen table.

Quote from the acquisition statement ....

“We believe that ePHOTOzine.com will provide immense value to our production renters,”

What the heck is one of them?

We have all been quoting "Pentax camera or accepted clones" on the competition pages for a very long time. Not "Pentax lenses". If we let any old camera in we would end up with a very bumpy playing field. That said, we do allow all sorts of lenses on our Pentax bodies. You only have to look at the contributors on any of the named camera sites. It quickly becomes clear that each has developed into a community with a core group surrounded by occasional supporters and crowds of lurkers. If you remove the cohesive factor (one's Pentax, Canon, Nikon etc.) there will be nothing special about any of these groups.

5 and 7 please. And I'm glad I'm not the only one finding lacewings to be difficult subjects!

The last one is excellent.

I would agree with that. Robl introduced me to the AF201FG and I've been very pleased with it.

Wish I was younger.

Stunning. I should think you had trouble stopping yourself clicking!

That crooked alley is particularly dramatic.
