Hi, welcome to the forum!!
I have an *istDL, which I presume is pretty similar in most aspects. I think you can use any K mount lens, including the older ones, ( I have two old manual lenses which work fine ).

I got a cable remote off ebay for a few pounds. As for flashesd...not sure, but I'm sure someone will be along who knows far more than I do

Thaks guys.
I like your first image Organic
I didn't think of using B&W..don't know why. You've certainly taken away more more noise than I managed to.

I haven't tried my link, I put the file straight off the SD card onto photobucket, has that re-sized it? If you don't mind, I could email you the original if you PM me your email address.

And as far as I know, the noise is much less visible on a printout
I didn't know that. I'll have to try and see what happens.

Thanks again for your time, 'tis appreciated.

Well folks. I made a massive mistake and possibly ruined an image I'd really like to keep

It was at the weekend while I was attending the rally. I had set my camera to ISO 1600 as I needed fast shutter, but light conditions were low.
I moved on to another area and Jacob got to talk to one of the drivers. When the driver saw I had a camera, he posed with Jacob.

I got one shot, then he moved back to what he'd been doing with the car. There was a very bright sky behind and they are slightly sillouetted. I thought I could bring this out, but the noise is horrendous.

If any of you paintshop experts could take a look for me, it would be greatly appreciated.
I hope this is the link to the image on my photobucket account. I haven't used the normal link as I have left the image at full size.
Oh and yes..I shot in jpg...I know, I should use RAW

Well, numbers one and two are of Mark Higgins and my good lady has bought me a half day rally course for my 40th, coincidentally at a rally schol owned and run by the Higgins family.

So, I might print number two off, ( having put my name on it ), and put it in a cheap frame and give it to them when I go down there. Never know, I might just get some free merchandise off them :winks:

Some great action shots there, looks like the bright light spoiled a few though
Yeah..I struggled with light all day...then again; isn't that what photography is all about

In the forest, first thing it was quite dark, so to keep the fast shutter I had to hike the ISO up to 1600. Then I forgot to put it back down, so ruined a few shots when I had decent light, ( very noisy! ).
Then, later in the day it was brilliant sunshine, but with all the cars being highly polished, lots of lovely reflective surfaces.

Still, I'd only complain if it had rained
