Pretty well dressed for a Neanderthal.
Was he painting in there I wonder?

Looks like he has a camera over his shoulder so maybe he was cursing you for getting there first!

Actually he does give a sense of scale to the photo, and a focal point too.

Spoke too soon. Suddenly everything is white here - sky, air, ground. everywhere. Bah. Blowing a gale too.

We are developing a point here.

Hmm. I just got soaked to the skin walking the dog. At least it isn't snowing yet - that is promised for later. My husband is yet again surrounded by the white stuff, which will yet again make his journey home a difficult one.
Sadly (for me) the company where he is currently working have extended his contract by three months, despite the new no contractors rule, so he will be making the journey all through the winter.

is your new one OK? I assume it is, as you did not say it wasn't.

I also use small apertures and print large up to A2+ and I use a macro lens, so this issue was important to me to get it right.

I am 99.9% sure that mt new one, when it arrives, will be OK.
If you mean mine - it has yet to arrive in Watford, never mind cross the North Sea. I am sure it will be perfect though - I have every faith in SRS, who have been outstanding throughout this sorry affair.

I agree with you Jim that most people won't notice the marks, most of the time. I am probably one of them.
But I have spent a lot of money on the K-5 (well my husband did) and I have the right to expect that camera to be perfect from the get go. I tested mine after reading the problems, and found the problem. I was in two minds about what to do, but opted to return it and have a new one.

How does the insurance company know you have a set of winter tyres? Why would you tell them?

Chris assured me they are checking the cameras before sending them out.

Smeggy - you cannot draw that conclusion - those who are satisfied with their K-5 don't respond to this sort of thing. Plus many many owners are not on forums anywhere to report or deny a problem.

The number is unknown but I seriously doubt it is as high as 50%.

I use PSE9 now - I used PSE6 until the Amazon deal noted in another thread.
ACR in PSE is not brilliant but it does the job.

One of these years I'll download a trial of Lightroom and see what I think of it. Otherwise I may go for Bibble, which I like and is very fast. Both are fully compatible with PSE.

I have winter tyres. They go on every November and stay on until March/April.

They are compulsory in Germany now, even for foreign vehicles, and there is talk of them being compulsory here too.
