Hi guys, don't suppose anyone could pop into Aberystwyth for me ?

Hi again, and do you use a tripod ?

Hi, I use 2 manual lenses exclusively on my K10, the 50mm 1.7 and the 28mm 3.5. With one on the camera and the other in my pocket I find this is all I need.
On the subject of low light I think focus will always be an issue with these manual lenses. I do have some success in relatively low light with the 50mm as the pic is a bit brighter on the screen but even the kit lens hunted quite a bit in low light. Do you have any auto focus lenses ?
I havn't gone as far as a split screen yet but it might help you if you shoot regularly in low light.
Sorry to be of little help.

Hi guys, and thanks for all the welcomes.

I live in a small village on the outskirts of the Snowdonia National Park. It's a beautiful place to live and there are plenty of photo opportunities. As well as the obvious mountains, rivers, lakes and the beach I like to head off into disused quarries with my camera.

Thanks for the advise on tripods. The choice is over powering but I will sort myself out with one soon.

The only other lens I'm considering at the moment is the 16-45 because I really want a wide angled lens but I'll save that conversation for another post.

Thanks again guys,

Hi and hello to all from sunny N.Wales. (yes it is raining at the mo' !)

I ventured into the world of DSLR's late last year and bought myself a K10. Regrets ? none. It's a solid piece of kit and as I'm out and about in all weathers the camera always feels capable of coping.
I mainly enjoy landscape and love to take the K10 on frequent walks into the mountains.
I still have the kit lens but rarely take it with me. Instead I just take a 50mm 1.7 and a 28mm 3.5, both manual. I get some fair results but may be in the market for an A focus lens in the near future. Next thing on the shopping list though is a nice light tripod which I hope will give me more options when taking photos.

Great website.
