No, that's for an ad free subscription. You can keep renewing your pro account at the old rates (or thereabouts I would imagine) as long as it was not a gift subscription and you set it last year or earlier.

Those that disagree are much more likely to comment. I'm sure there will be teething troubles and changes in response to feedback. The site was looking very dated.

I like it. One of the things that concerned me with a pro account was that if it expired the the content couldn't be accessed. So if something happened to the user then the content was at risk. Now it is archived for good, just need to get my flickrID engraved into my headstone.

You can let it expire or switch to a free account and get a refund. 1TB is way more photos than I heve ever taken and way more than I would ever want to upload in a lifetime.

Adblocker will help with the ads so it looks a pretty good change to me.

Only 5? I ignored it more than that.

I have a Tamron adaptall SP90mm f2.5 52BB macro which I am half thinking about selling. It is a 1:2 magnification and comes with matched extension tube for 1:1 and PK/A adaptor. However, I find it too fiddly and only ever use it at 1:2, but that is perfect for larger subjects, flowers, fungi, larger insects and more environmental type bug shots. It is also a very nice lens for portraiture. It (at least) matches my DFA100 for sharpness and it has better colours. It would be below your budget. It would be under your budget and it would be a good buy if you were interested in other adaptall lenses as the adaptor alone is quite expensive.

If you need 1:1 macro then the lens I would recommend to you is the later version Tamron 90mm f2.8. I have seen one advertised recently on a French Pentax forum although I cannot vouch for the seller. I'd say it was better value than my lens. I'll send you the link if you wish.

Can't imagine bouncing around on a safari jeep with one of those things. I would convert it into a free set of Ltds.

Lots of flies and boys pretending to be girls. Reminds me of a bar in Rio that I unwittingly strayed into.

People, glasshouses, stones. A sentence without a verb. Tut tut.
