I agree with Kim

I cant see anyone wanting to walk the streets with one of those round their neck, the one in Kims link was far nicer.

Definately one for the collectors so it doesn't really matter about the croc skin, and speaking of animal rights activists I wonder how many of them would destroy thier treasured familly photographs when they found out the film used to capture them contained gelatin!

Let me guess, the noise sounded a bit like something short circuiting, a cross between fizzing and buzzing?

Camsters answer seems spot on and its nothing to worry about.

If you do a lot of flash photography it may be worth investing in the AF360FGZ Pentax flashgun, alternatively if thats beyond your budget look for a "Pentax" dedicated gun from other manufacturers, just make sure its one that has an AF Spotbeam, this projects a red beam onto your subject so the camera can lock on easier in low light. My FGZ works perfectly even in pitch black, I also have a Pentax dedicated Sunpak flash that works equally as well but obviously not with all the functions of the FGZ

Oh well, £150 towards a K10D is better than a slap on the face.

Just point the buyer in the direction of this forum, then he/she can read this post and discover what a bargain they just got.

Just had a thought, maybe if "someone" pointed this out to ebay they would cancel the listing (and as far as I am aware also the listing fee)

you could then re-list it at a higher price.

£85.......You have made it clear that this is a DIGITAL SLR. ROFL!

Seriously Steve, I agree with Mannesty I dont think youv'e asked enough, I personally wouldn't have used buy it now but chosen a low start bid (say £50) with a £175 reserve, and again as Mannesty said, let the bidders take it from there

Something else I noticed which is a bit naughty of you, is the statement "copied cd of pentax imaging software"

If ebay spot this they will stop the listing.

Welcome to the forum,
Unlike Mannesty I didnt notice the "ciao" in your post, I was more concerned that you were a gunsmith but discovered you needed glasses, I had a mental picture of the rich and famous out on a grouse shoot but unable to hit anything because you had trimmed thier gun sights. that really appealed to my English sense of humour, Thank you for making me smile.

And Peter, I hope you dont take everyones username to heart, I dont want you pointing me towards those viagra posts that keep popping up LOL

Ah yes but fairness where its due, even Pentax users would be faced with that problem if Pentax released a full frame sensor, all your digital only lenses would be useless with it.

What I would really like to see is Pentax as top dog again, for a short while at least, But just imagine in the next few years we could hear newscasters reading the headlines "PENTON in Canon takeover bid" "Penton to launch its new Micro EOS 645D with Shake reduction in the camera and Image Stabilisation in the lens" They then go on to add "Penton, previously trading as Pentax recently bought out close rival Nikon, now the camera giant PENTON is making a bid for Canon....ever since Bill Gates took over as managing director Pentax has seen an increased monopoly in the digital camera market"..........."further breaking news sees Manfrotto making its third loss in three years"

Seriously I belive Canon deserve to be where they are , they have given the photographer what they want (albiet at great cost) and have presented some excelent advertising campaings. Pentax are now showing their metal and recent developments show they deserve a good slice of the market, like I said It WOULD be nice to see them at the top for a while.

John, do you literally mean cut to SHAPE? as in other then rectangular or square.
We once had a guy speaker at the camera club with a triangular print, it looked great. I've been looking for a suitable subject so I can try it myself.

I would probably have paid £1000+ for a full frame DSLR had one been made available, I think Pentax's commitment to the Digital only lenses proves a full frame sensor could be a long way off.

But I am probably wrong, who knows where technology will be in 5 or ten years time.

I think I will probably just rename my existing "Pentax Digital" folder to "istD" which is divided into sub-folders for different shoots/locations/subjects etc. then when I get the K10D I will start a new folder with that name and also use sub-folders.

Images I have worked on and (sometimes) printed off are stored in a seperate sub-folder simply called "Saves" with the original file intact in its relevant folder, I also usually rename these files with a title for the shot. I will probably also keep my K10D "saves" seperate from the istD files.

I also keep files that I am working on but not finished in a seperate sub-folder.

Hope this gives you some ideas.
