I got some more Jessops vouchers so I thought Iwould order the AC adapter for the K10D : I went to Jessops Romford and asked if they could order it; the assistant got a K10D out of the showcase and looked at the socket then went to 'ask the Computer' - "Computer says 'No' , but should get it in 3 weeks " so I ordered it; I had a look at the order slip some days later and saw they had put 'istD' on it for the adapter so I looked in the K10D book and got the actual number then phoned Jessops and the assistant had to phone me back some hours later after checking and found I was right and they were wrong BUT there were NO AC adapters for the K10D in UK anywhere and they suggested I search Europe on the internet for a source , so how do I start that ?

Updating takes very little time, and very little power.

It looks to me like an Ipod without the screen. It's much the same cost as other portable storage units at the cheap end of the scale, but if you have access to a screen of some sort, you can play back whatever is on the drive. If you haven't, you can't.
The drawback, as I see it, is that many hotel TVs probably lack any sort of video-in other than the aerial. And I doubt if this thing has TV aerial output.

I think the pic is slightly over-sharpened - look around the eyes - but it's beautifully exposed.
I'd get a softer lens and shoot some more, with more interesting lighting. You've got a good model.

Usually you would mount the lens the same way as normal, and a longer focal length will allow you to place the subject further away. Useful if it's a poisonous spider.

And it's all thanks to cameras.

There are lots of high speed cards available but also many fake cards out there as well. I'd use Sandisk because they come with recovery software should something go horribly wrong.
Danelec, Corsair are good too. Fujifilm's cards are made by Toshiba; as are many others. It is difficult to know where something actually comes from these days with all the rebranding.

In it's day, the M 75-150 zoom was very highly regarded, and sold well. As a consequence it is plentiful on Ebay and sells for next to nothing. I reckon it would complement your set-up nicely, with very little effect on the bank balance.

I should do some testing with some shortish strips at different developing times, and see what works best.
