Erm..where is the constructive critisism in all this?!
Sorry Sarah
Back to C&C.... I like the framing and the natural expression you have captured but I'm not quite sure about the pose.

I agree with Barry that it looks a little dark but then I've not ventured into the studio either

I agree Ken, perhaps some more of that path way to the right :

The worry is naturally that Pentax will abandon screw drive on future bodies, which wouldn't be good news for people who've got hefty sums invested in screw drive lenses.
I can't imagine they would do that Matt, I would have thought that would amount to jumping from a plane without a parachute, well almost anyway. They would be alienating too many long term customers.

If I came into a bit of 'really' surplus cash I would love one but.....

I suspect the SDM is a small brushless motor? If so I doubt much damage is done when it fails unless there is some kind of delamination.

I would just like to be able to switch between SDM and screw drive when the shooting situation suits.
The K-7 is much faster with my screw drive lenses so I'd like to see how the 16-50 & 60-250 perform using the screw drive option

Congratulations Tim, all them are excellent
Just to be different I'll say I like the monochromes

Must give this PPG a go myself at some point

Makes me smile seeing this, then thinking back to people that have abandoned the Pentax ship because they are not "professional" and can't produce the same results as brands like N* and C*

look at it this way: they can only abandon so many ships before they drown in the knowledge that they just can't take decent photos...

conclusive proof that it's the photographer pressing the button who makes the photo!

There are a lot of people out there who "need" better quality lenses/bodies who could learn a lot from looking at what you have achieved here with a 6MP body and the "kit" telephoto.
Wise words gents

The more you look around at what is sometimes posted on general photography forums by people with very expensive gear (from any manufacturer) the more these comments ring true

Why not give it a go on a tripod Jack? Then you needn't worry so much about the lack of light

I don't think it hurts Richard, just another angle on a hot potato
