I agree 100%. I really love its colours and it is also very sharp.

Yes, I think you should at least try it!

I have been in Lapland for over 10 years in Winter, several times in February. March would be a better time, as temperatures are milder, but also in February they vary. As Bret said, this Winter has been very cold and in mid Feb it reached -42 in lapland . No pictures then. But I was there the week after and it was about -15.

But this was a very cold Winter, and -42 not usual.

In any case, I have used my K20D without problems during the past 2 winters and I did not have any problems with the battery. I sometims go skiing with the camera in my backpack and use it from time to time. Always worked.

As to location, Saariselkä is very far North, very popular among cross-country skiers. I usually go to Levi, which is a very popular downhill skiing resort and very conveniently located 15 mins from the Kittilä airport (with flights from UK). There you can combine the beauty of Lapland with skiing and also a well served small village (shops, restaurants, etc...)

Below a few pictures I took last year in February in Levi with the K20D and a SA 12-24:













BR, Giorgio

Smeggy, good point, I will try that. Thanks!

Hi, where exactly in Lapland?

Thanks Tim.

And regarding your LBA, you just need a short walk to 9th ave for a tour of B&H.

I think one can. I belong to a generation that started with B&W and coloured filters and learned that way.

Maybe you could try to set your camera to B&W and just go out and take pictures, I think you would soon find out you can see in B&W.

Thanks Gareth and Cabstar. Here is a new version of the cityscape, hopefully improved:
