That's beautiful! i WONDER IF THEY CAN LAMINATE IT LIKE THAT (OOPS CAPS LOCK!) and leave it in place. I suspect the health & safety brigade will see to it that no such enjoyment can be had and it'll be replaced forthwith!
You are joking of course, health & safety...PAH!
My wife has a card for a local trade warehouse, the rear of their customer service lift was one huge mirror from halfway up, it had been broken at some time in the distant past and was taped up with brown parcel tape, it was like that for over three years till it was eventally removed

Anyway.....I like this image too, I think karma has positioned the impact point just right.
But honestly, vandalism, what lengths some folk will go to for an image

On the positive side...

anyone with an EOS can get a decent lens to go with it at last
Ah but they ALWAYS could, theres plenty of Pentax to Canon adaptors out there Actually I wonder if this is one reason that Pentax have persevered with the K mount, because it adapts to wider mounts easier?

Just been to the Trafford Centre and NO-ONE has Pentax in stock!
Dont tell me you were in there on Saturday James :, I too was appalled by Jessops lack of Pentax gear, I was considering buying a lowepro slingshot but then decided that any dealer who wont even stock one Pentax DSLR doesn't deserve my custom.

I can also vouch for SRS

My guess is that knock off gear is flogged down the pub.
.....or even on ebay

Seriously though, in all fairness I very much doubt this is stolen gear, what idiot is going to display images and descriptions of a particular bit of damage to a stiolen item? and even place an image with the serial number showing

Nice shots Alistair, I love the contrast of the second and that sky is great. Not sure about the last shot, I get the feeling that I'm looking at two images, a lower viewpoint would have been better I think and possibly a wider angle making more of the stones in the forground, which I suppose would defeat the object of calling the image "The Lighthouse"

I reckon its a cracker too, its not perfect by a long shot but it is VERY NICE!

if you'd had it all in focus I think that would have been a very very saleable image, next time use superglue on the flowers then you can have more attempts

I felt that after the Super A series the camera drifted from the Pentax philosophy.

The MZ5 and MZ3 models firmly returned to the path.
I think John and I must have been twins in a previous life, here I am agreeing with his comments yet again

My introduction to Pentax was with the MZ7 after many years with the OM system I wanted autofocus so chose Pentax, the MZ7 was a fantastic little bit of kit but my only gripe was its lack of DOF preview, so I bought a second hand MZ5n, my shiny new MZ7 spent most of its life as a back up while the 5n took a lot of hammer till it finally died a couple of years ago, I think I put more rolls of film through that little beauty than all my other cameras put together.

It is quite common to have orbs of ectoplasm in indoor pictures taken with point and shoots. Airborne particles of dust are being illuminated by the flash.
Err! I take this to mean that the partygoers were in "high spirits"
