The Goverments response is clearly a copout!

Anyway, dont blame me as I voted for the other guys

Sorry Kris but your answer should hve been "longer"

"Yes.....but multiply the focal length by 1.5X"
Sorry Alan but that's wrong since the focal length stays the same but because the sensor is smaller it crops the image to an image that looks like it's taken with a 1.5X longer focal length.
Things like the focal ratio (f-number) will stay the same.
I know Stefan, but I didn't know how to phrase it as eloquently as yourself

BRRRRRR!!!!

I've just had to turn the heating up

its got to be No3 though I think the sky needs cropping to the top of the trees,
as for No4 maybe a bright red sign sticking out of the bottom corner saying "warning thin ice"

I saw the 16-50DA* was cheaper with them before buying mine from SRS, maybe that was a con too:

Well I suppose the shoes will at least allow you to get out of the house and take pics in daylight

Many thanks for all your help. I think I will get the highest resolution I can within my budget. Incidentally would the autofocus zoom lens from my old mz7 work ok on a dslr?
Yes.

Nice to have a short answer for a change

Best wishes, Kris.

OK thanks guys, I'll keep trying the link, maybe a glitch with my ISP

As for the jumped numbers, there is no way I have shot 6000+ frames, in fact I would be surprised if I'd shot 500 yet as I've not been able to play with it as often as I'd have liked, plus the K10D is still in use with the 50-135 attached

I might just reset the file numbers to default and start again and see what happens.

I got a good one first time, well pleased with it. I would avoid the s/h ones though unless you can try them first or they come from a reputable source with a money back gaurantee, its quite possible they are duff ones and the owners cant be arsed getting them swapped for one reason or another.

Bottom line: buy new from a reputable dealer, its a cracking lens and well worth the expenditure for a shiny brand new one

Not for me Terry

I presume this will help me find the actual frame numbers but surely it cant tell me why my my K20D has suddenly jumped 6000 digits

Its a very useful feature this mutiple exposure. It is useful for me underground, however when I tried it I set it to 9 exposures but only got about 3 on the final image.....
Does anybody know if there is any kind of time limit between exposures or anything that will reset it before actually exposing 9 times?
But did you get one shot exposed three times and then six single exposures? because the shutter should have fired 9 times, if not then you must have had it on three exposures by mistake.
