Offensive?

You jest, surely.

JR is most certainly not a Pentax employee. He moderates this forum as a labour of love. Often he has to deal with nitwits, but takes it all in his stride.

Now run along. You're much too sensitive to be on the internet.

It's always supply and demand.

Restrict supply, and you can force prices up. Having a monopoly is the best way to restrict supply. Use lots of glossy advertising and you can stimulate demand.

But, as you say, every business will always try to maximise prices in order to maximise profit (or minimise loss).

PS: To whom it may concern. I don't have a K5. Can't afford it!

The only criticism I have of this competition, and the judging especially, was the dreadful word-play that the subject inspired.

Some of it was really eggscruciating.

I agree, and I thought the Newfie entry was excellent too. Very simple, and very effective.

In these times George, if you think anyone would commit his/her remaining savings/credit on a 1K camera (especially when he has a perfectly good one as it is), you are really deluded.
So you don't have the money. Well, there's no shame in that.

Sadly, the pheasant and grouse seasons have both finished.

The 35mm 1:2.4 is OK, but if I were going to use only one lens I would want it to be fast.

I'd get a 31mm.

I had one once. Image quality was OK, but it was a beast of a lens - heavy and with very stiff focusing.

Although the 400mm 1:5.6 is larger, and of a roughly similar vintage, I find I much prefer it.

Well done all entrants for such a varied and imaginative set of images.

And well done the winner, with so much competition.

I think Pentaxophile means that the pictures have been cropped to the point where image quality has suffered, and I don't disagree. Compositionally, they need more cropping (IMHO!).
