I might be interested. My new year's resolution was to cull my lens collection from thirty to six. It would grieve me to sell the 43mm, but it's very close to the 31mm, and I use that far more.

Of course, if Ricoh persuades Pentax to produce a 135 format body, then the 43mm will come into its own.

Are you able to use PMs (private messages) yet?

Steven is right.

One fault is unfortunate. Two are coincidence; they are not necessarily evidence that you have a lemon.

If possible, I should go to the repair shop in person and be polite but disappointed. With luck they'll do the repair free of charge.

In the days when Pentax had a repair facility at Langley, I found they would do minor repairs for nothing if you went along and talked to them.

That's probably why they never made any money!

Good luck.

The house is what makes the picture. I believe that on a better day, and with it playing a larger part, there could be a very good image there.

I wondered why she had two hats. There's lots of symbolism in that, too.

There's nothing wrong with the image quality of the K10D. In fact, I prefer it to the K20D in that respect, though of course the 20 offers other advantages.

Aside from the grain characteristics of the images, I think the DOF and lovely bokeh is a major giveaway that this is 35mm, not cropped, format - and on Pentax this means film!

Yes, but that is not what Chris meant. He was talking about intrinsic and noticeable differences between the two mediums. The fact that Pentax doesn't have a 135 format DSLR sheds no light on whether film and digital images are distinguishable by the eye.

You know, leaving the obvious appeal, that is a rather good picture.

There is a lot of attitude (I mean body language) in that pose, and one is left wondering what the story is.

At least, that's my excuse for coming back and having another look.

Buon giorno.

What is your budget?

Japers,

In my view, flat light is more unkind to mono than it is to colour. You can sometimes get some nice muted colours from a dull day whereas you will almost never get a good mono shot except when there's some drama in the lighting.

Yes, great textures and rich contrasts. Well done.
