Here is a link to a 'class 10' - 32GB for £26.99 delivered.

SDHC - 32GB

Don't know about the quality of this particular item, but I have used 7DAYSHOP quite a few times, and have always been happy with their service.

Just ordered one of these myself.

TT, I see what you mean

I don't think GraphicConverter is a Microsoft product.

Here is an example of the ExifTool data,

techno-terminator,

If you have a Mac you can use GraphicConverter to view the same data.

GraphicConverter

I have version 6, not the new version 7, just open up a RAW file and, click on 'Information', it's free to try.

I know what you are saying about DPR and Rice High, but if you 'skim' through and just use them as an indicator, then search out the 'real' info, they have their uses.

One thing I did gain from viewing some of the info on sites like these, was that even replaced K5's were exhibiting the stains after some use.

This put me off buying the K5, I have enough OCD problems without looking for stains every ten minutes, because I know that's what I would do !

Anyway, back on topic.

Sorry to hear your sad news Mike, did you do a check when you first got the replacement ?

Do you think this problem develops over time, even on replacement K5's ?

Yep, 52mm

Now, get back out there, compose the shots, take a little time, I think you have the gear, so show us the next batch !!!!

I know it is sometimes hard to get back up from, "being put down'", but, the focus was good, the exposure was good, the idea was good, the subject was good, just a little refining on the capture needed ?

Shooing critters, 90% luck ???

The pyramids spoiled a good picture there !

As I said, my opinion will differ from others.

Just look here, one picture, how many variations, which is correct, NONE !!!

It is in the eye's of the beholder !!!

Sorry you lost me there, I've been on the M74 today, link,

I'll return tomorrow with brain intact
