No, he probably just wants to try and actually make money this time.

What about a filters on 'FF' & 'Full Frame'?

Great place, nearly got there back in April but ran out of time.

There are some good Youtube videos too

I find the journey towards the photo, the quiet and 'empty' time I enjoy the most. Whether conditions are right when I press the shutter I leave to 'the great magnet' to have brought me there on time. Some find nature very conducive in finding true awareness of universal energy and truths. There have been times standing in scenery, camera still in bag, I have felt true zen, and if my mind was so inclined could easily gone the Francis Collins route.

Using mindfulness mediation to capture landscape images is nice idea (as long as you don't have your eyes shut during the 'best' moment), at least as a way to pass the time when your sitting there. Having got the critical part of composition and camera settings out of the way, one can sit and tap into the subconscious allowing it to make the best decision. You'll get a nice photo and perhaps realize self will is an illusion.

Incredible stuff!!!

I use YN560's with some crappy wireless triggers (Wansen - black with a red bit for the channel swtches) from ebay or might have been Amazon, all manual control of course but not an issue I'm always going around moving the flashes around anyway.

Don't worry about brand names too much, just order them, they'll work.

Another good tip is to pop the flash set the aperture to maximum you can for the lens F22 etc. and shoot at a plain white wall. This will reveal the spots in all their annoying glory, or not, after cleaning.

Ahh OK.

Positive for me would be something like a my grey box DAL 55-300 I got from SRS's ebay store a long while back. WOW, for someone who generally doesn't need 50mm + focal lengths what a star bargain it is, and so light it's no problem sticking it in the bag, got me out of trouble a bunch of times and with style. I'd be a little worried about replacing that length on another system.

I'll certainly be keeping in touch with Axel, his building studies have kept me refreshed in both my leisure and professional photo work.

Sentimentality aside, I think with reference to the K3 thread, Pentax have a clear benchmark and it's 6 months old in release! It will be really interesting to see if they hit it and hopefully exceed it.

Keeping the price of the K5IIs so high when it is out-spec'd is a bit confusing, its a premium that feels directed at their own consumer base.

? The only way I have keep the cost low, quality high and covered that range with my Pentax system is buying 3rd party lenses, some second hand?
Theoretically something you could do with any of the other main brands?

K5IIIr version will have 3 AA filters allowing Pentax to corner the market in extra protection against moire and false colour.
