My K-7 only fires a preflash in red eye reduction modes. (version 1.10)

Very well done indeed Laurence. Love the 'Stillness' shot and the humour in the quirky 'welcome' one- great stuff! Cheers, Gary

I have one of these- a great little lens, just one con- minimum focus distance.Interesting reviews here-

Release priority- Custom setting-page 3- item 15. Af.S setting- 1.Focus priority 2. Release priority.

Turn off 'Catch-in focus'. Page 4, item 25, Custom settings.

How about a bit of still life? This time of year I take most of my shots at night using just a desklamp and/or a candle. Cheers, Gary

It's nice to see someone having a go with focus stacking- I'm not entirely sure this shot shows any advantage over shooting at F22 to 32- please see my 'Robber II' at F32, I do think you have done a great job manually stacking in PS - whenever I stack I use Helicon- no problems so far. Cheers, Gary
PS. Forgive the sensor specs on my shot- poor housekeepimg!

It seems to be the case- Amazon have been in contact and thanked me for bringing the matter to their attention- they are investigating and will remove any sellers (hopefully) not complying with the Amazon Marketplace rules. I have noticed that as soon as one is found out they log in using a different identity as their scam relies on the delay between the cancellation of the order (by them) and Amazon sending out an email to the customer informing them that the order has been cancelled.Amazon repeated their advice- Do not give any details whatsoever to third parties even if the order was first made on the marketplace site.

Hello everyone- Be careful if you see any 'bargains' on Amazon Marketplace. I just got this email-

Good afternoon, we are very sorry you have tried to purchase an item from us, probably either an Ipad, Iphone or camera. Unfortunatly this has been a scam created on amazon.
We do not sell Ipad, Iphone or cameras. Please consult amazon direct for any further details.
Regards the Timepiece team

You order as usual and get a confirmation email from Amazon- soon afterwards the order is cancelled by the seller who then contacts you direct via email asking for your details, using some excuse about not being able to access their Amazon account or it's just quicker to do the deal with them direct.

Cheers, Gary

Get the Macro Ltd- brilliant!!! Cheers, Gary
