Here are two I took last year. Though not quite from the same spot they do show the difference between 10mm and 18mm.

@10mm with the Sigma 10-20mm

Mike's right, the PM will stay in your outbox until he reads it. That way you know when he has read it.

Quite funny that two Dutch guys are the ones giving suggestions

I'll subcribe to the pentax mag next year to see what's all about.
It just tells a lot about the lack of good Dutch magazines available here in the Netherlands.

Martin.
Too true Martin. When I hear people in Britain complaining about their mags I have to think how lucky they are. There was one English magazine which came out with a Dutch version, but somehow it wasn't as good as the original.
I still but mags occasionally if they appeal. I have picked up a few tips from the CDs actually.
I subscribe to PU magazine and to Elements User, which I also enjoy.

Pete, you could try submitting something to PU. I doubt the big (inter)national magazines would be interested tbh.

Don, I am so sorry to hear your news. I too know only too well what you are going through.
I am glad your mother is able to be at home. It is hard on the carers, but for her it is best, and it gives you valuable time with her which you might not get in a hospital.
I too hope your mother will pass peacefully, without too much pain. I wish you and your family all the strength to cope with this, and I will be thinking of you in the coming weeks.
A cyber hug coming your way.

Just too late for me to get for my hols, but at a better price than I expected. Maybe I'll see what price it is in the US of A if they have it. But then again if the mystery camera is as great as everyone (especially me) hopes maybe I should save my money for that .

Thanks everyone. I shall try Geosetter later this evening. Being able to tag the RAW files would be great.
The weather is too nice now to spend long indoors at the computer. If I don't get it sorted it isn't the end of the world. I can always manually tag them using my husbands photos as a reference. But given that we are away for 4 weeks that will be a lot of photos to tag,even if I only do the keepers
Who knows maybe one of those extra knobs and buttons on the mystery new camera is for geotagging . Another reason for me to buy it.

There was some debate over whether it actually is a Pentax. Some think it doesn't say Pentax on the front.

Thanks Tim, I've just tried Photomapper, but that doesn't work either for the K20D images. Both Photomapper and Locr work fine for the Ds images but not for the K20D images.
The camera time is set correctly.

I like to geo tag my photos, at least those taken away from home. Prior to our holiday next week I wanted to check I could do this with the K20D, since most of the photos taken thus far with it have been around my home town.

Yesterday we went to the bulb fields and took some photos. Once home I duly converted some of the photos to jpegs to tag, using locr which is what I always (successfully) used with the Ds. But it didn't work.

It would not tag the jpegs. All I got was a message asking whether I wanted the GPS coordinates removed from the exif. Even if I said yes to that I still couldn't tag my photos.

I even tried with jpegs straight from the camera, and they didn't work either.

I did nothing different to what I did with the Ds, so I am stumped.

Is there something different about K20D jpegs? Maybe they are just too big to be tagged? Any ideas welcome. I really would like to get this sorted before I go to the US on Saturday.

It looks a lot smaller that the K20. I do hope so. I may well be tempted by this beauty if it is. I'll swap in my K20d for it if I can, and if the specs are right of course.
