Payment made

I'll take the A28/2.8 please.

Tempted by the others too, but need to control my LBA!

I'll PM you to arrange payment.

I completely agree with Mike-P on the K10D. Its CCD sensor produced beautiful images at ISO 100, but its days were numbered when sensitivity joined Megapixels as the marketing men's measure of image quality.

Not sure that would explain why your K10 is sharper than your K7 when focussing manually though. Maybe your K7 focus screen is slightly out and would benefit from shimming?

I have both F and A (and also M) versions. AS far as I am aware, the optics are identical. So the only practical difference is the F focuses faster, but I focus more quietly.

I can empathise with PU's desire to host adverts and generate a little additional revenue to help fund the site.

But I do wish they could be turned off for those of us who subscribe as PU plus members.

If that could be implemented, it might even persuade a few of those who don't currently subscribe to start doing so...

Not surprised it's sold now. That'll teach me not to check the classifieds every hour!

Only good for a few dozen shots at best from a full charge. I kept it in my camera bag just in case the genuine battery ran out of juice when I was out and about, when being able to take those few more shots could have been welcome.

If anyone could find it useful for the same reason, send me a stamped addressed Jiffy bag and I'll pop it in the post box. It weighs just about 90g. I no longer have a K10D (sadly) so it's no use to me now and I'd be happy to pass it on if someone could use it. Just don't count on it as a main battery!

PM me for my address if interested.

Glad you found one, and that an excellent lens is going to get used again

Just wondered how you determined ebay's 5-year average price? When I look at 'completed listings', it only shows the last few weeks' worth. :

Apparantly there's a Lightroom plugin called mogrify (sp?) that does this:

That's assuming, of course, that you use Lightroom.

A resounding DEPENDS.

I was involved for too long in software testing in my previous life and I still believe two things:

1. Version releases can include bugfixes. Some documented, some not.

2. Version releases can introduce new bugs. None documented.

If you are experiencing any odd-behaviour with your current version, or if you are in need of the new feature(s), then updating could (should) be well worthwhile. If neither, then there is an argument that you should avoid all risk by holding off.

But I'll probably still upgrade like everyone else. I might just wait a little while first though...
