Does, " I can almost see my house in number 6 " count?

Sorry, but, really, I can

Number 2 is great, The sky is right ( the others are a bit bright /white ish on this monitor) and the rotors are lovely, just the right amount of blur.

I've installed PK Tether and plugged my lead in and; Hey Presto! It works.
Thanks guys.

The K10D came with it's own tethering program, it's call Pentax Remote Assistant and should be on your K10D software disc or see HERE

Supported cameras details HERE
My camera was "previously loved" so I don't have the disk.

Thanks for the offer John, I might take you up on that, but I'll have a look at PKtether first

I've just bought the lead to connect my K10 directly to my PC mostly so that I don't have to keep taking my SD card out whilst fine tuning my AF.

Then it dawned on me...I don't know if I need any software, so, the question is: do I and, if so, what is it?

Next question I suppose is: with it tethered, can I shoot and immediately see the image on PC screen, or do I need to look for it? Never used it this way before.

No, film camera lenses are fine, the mount hasn't changed. A mystery that we'd need to look at in the flesh to make any further sense of it.
I have a cheap lens which fitted my ME Super fine, but wouldn't fit my istDL
The "guard" by the aperture lever was longer than on my "modern" lenses.
Being me, I cut the guard down to the same length as on my other lenses and can now use it. (Not that I ever do )

Thanks folks.
I wasn't sure about the ones with the people in the background, but the birds were (IMHO) too good not to include.

I'd said to the Mrs, "if half of these turn out half as good as I hope, I'll be happy". I don't think my hit rate is as high as 50%, but I'm happy with what I've got.

Only another 500 images to go through!!

I don't like neck straps, at all!
So, I came up with two solutions.
I made a sling, ( much cheaper than the shop bought ones ) and I got a wrist strap from ebay for about £10. It is similar to the one shown above, but has a Velcro strap which goes around the wrist and a buckle to secure it. I can then carry it "dangling" from my wrist with no worries about it falling off

Typed on the move basically I meant to say move the focus ring manually between taking AF shots.

That's what i was doing, to force it to re-focus, rather than let it "remember" where it was.
