Stefan of course you are allowed to enter.

Inspiration (and inclination :wink seems to have taken a holiday at the moment, but I'll see if I can come up with something. Are old photos allowed?

David, sorry but cycling, at least road racing, has been extremely lax in controlling doping. It still is no where near as strict as athletics, speed skating, skiing or many many other sports.
The poor name is very much deserved. Even now they are busy trying to find new ways to dope themselves and avoid detection.

Maybe if the organisers didn't make it such a death march (as it has been this year) the riders would be less inclined to further abuse their bodies.

I would contact PentaxDan. He is very helpful in all things regarding delivery of the magazine. Send him a PM.

True drug addicts and cheats too.

We get wall to wall coverage of it here and it soon gets boring.

I did enjoy the Giro going trough, which is no where near as commercial as the Tour.

The Tour even controlled what adverts people in Rotterdam could receive through their doors the week of the start, only adverts from Tour sponsors, not even the usual folder of local supermarket or DIY store bargains. As bad as FIFA imho.

Good photos though.

It might be a good idea if this was clarified in the terms and conditions, which haven't been updated since this rule was introduced I believe.

In that case I humbly apologise. I see it all the time on this forum, so assumed it was OK.
None of the other forums I'm a member of carry classifieds.

My problem with them, especially with big lenses is that you cannot have the QR plate attached and the strap. I'd rather have the QR plate on the camera and a normal strap tbh.
With big lenses you normally have a tripod mount so you can attach the strap to either the camera or mount. When I used it on the 100-300mm iy went on the lens as I knew it was the only one I would be using.
I have QRs on both camera and tripod mounts.
With a big lens on the camera the centre of gravity is moved so you need the strap on the tripod mount, which is what you use to attach the lens to the tripod. If you put the strap on the camera the balance is wrong and I'm not sure I'd want all that weight on the bottom of my camera.
Just my personal view.

Only pentax items i have left now are an *istD body, zx-l film body and a sigma ex 2x converter.
Sorry you feel that way.
I was merely pointing out that I thought it was too high a price. Anyone considering buying it would have probably looked at SRS to see what they were asking for a new K7 and arrived at the same conclusion.

I'm glad you managed to sell it anyway.
Think that sort of thing is frowned upon in here Gwyn
But it's OK in this thread?

I read on another forum of someone who bought the Blackrapid strap. They didn't like it, feeling it was not as secure as it could be. I have no idea if that is true but that was their worry with it.

My problem with them, especially with big lenses is that you cannot have the QR plate attached and the strap. I'd rather have the QR plate on the camera and a normal strap tbh.
