I downloaded the free trial for Aperture 2, the documentation indicates that the K10D is supported, ( as well as other K series Pentax digital's ), it also indicates which RAW files it supports, didn't see the Pentax .pef's specifically mentioned, but it imported a few test one ok, as does iPhoto, seems to work fine with both .pef's, and DNG's.

Initial feelings are positive, friendly and easy to use interface, very fine adjustments available, file management and photo storage seems to have lots of options that the photographer can play with.

29 days left to play with it.

Must dig out a few 'horrible' pictures, ( I have lot's ), and see how it copes with these.

I'm running OS X 10.5.2 Leopard.

And I see they have dropped the price a bit too, from £215 to £129, might be tempted now

Congratulations Gwyn

And Congratulations to you too Dirk - well thought-out and detailed judging fantastic job.

I'm working away from home, in Shetland this week, so I don't have access to the original landscape, but when I get back I'll post the original and give you more details.

I love the 10-17mm, I took it and the A-50mm f1:1.4 with me to Shetland, spent a couple of hours walking round Lerwick this evening, may post a few when I get home.

Martin, the £5 note was folded and so well hidden in my wallet, that I had to iron it flat for the picture

It will a long time before it gets out again

Your making feel bad, Martin. I better have a go then

Thanks Dan, and thanks to Martin for pushing me into it

10 out of 10 for yours Dirk


Your confusing me Dan,

Come on Dirk, we need a really 'obscure' theme
