I have both and use them differently. My cable release is a generic one, not a Pentax one, and is quite short so is used mostly when I am doing still lifes and such. I use the remote for self portraits, or when I need to be further from the camera for any reason. The Pentax remote is very small, very neat and the batteries last forever. I got mine when I sill used an analogue camera and it is still going strong 6 years later.

But what is so stupid is that it is only Britain which seems to react this way. My son needs no special clearance to have school groups from Holland, Germany, Belgium or France on board. Only the British seem to insist on this.

I think if parents weren't so paranoid, and normal members of society were allowed to keep an eye on other peoples children, without being suspected of being some sort of pervert, then the world would be a better place. Certainly here in Holland not every man is regarded as a pervert if he tries to help someone else's child.
I truly believe that the current state of affairs is the result of newspapers like the Sun and the Mail and their hysterics. The country has not suddenly become more perverted over the last couple of decades. As I said the figures show that things are no worse than 40 years ago.

Geoff you say a lot of sensible things in your latest post! Well put!
My son has a charter ship - he makes a living from taking groups sailing on it, mostly German and Dutch school groups, who are under the supervision of their teachers/group leaders. He and his mate sleep in separate quarters to the youngsters on board. Recently he was approached about taking a group of British youngsters for a week, but he had to turn the group down because of all the legal clearances and the like they wanted from him. They were not prepared to pay the costs of getting a police investigation into him and his mate. He is a British citizen still and his mate is German which further complicates the issue.
He lost a weeks business (though there are still plenty of other groups who want to sail with him, so he was not out of pocket), but the group of kids missed out on the wonderful, unique experience of sailing an old Dutch sailing barge over the beautiful Waddenzee.
They were the losers, because of adults paranoia.

Ah, but there are now some flights where mobiles ARE allowed Terry. Personally I enjoy being out of contact whilst in the air, and not having to listen to other peoples conversations, but some people seem to need to be in contact at all times.
I remember on one flight across the US the guy next to me used the Skyphone to phone his wife(?) just to say .....yes you've guessed it...."I'm on the plane" I hate to think what that cost him!.

Great set of photos.
And there's nothing wrong with the Fokker 50, except old age. KLM are gradually replacing all their Fokkers I hear, starting with the Fokker 100s. The end of an era

I was there in spring too. I never even thought of taking photos!
I have taken photos at Schiphol on the past with no problem.
I like the second one the best, but then I love detail photos.

PSE6 has simple curves - not as good maybe as the full curves in full PS but better than nothing.

E2 is diluted so as not to damage tin-oxide sensors. It won't harm non tin-oxide sensors. Eclipse is pure and can damage tin-oxide sensors, but is fine for other sensors.

If you choose to go with Gartmore's suggestion then you need E2 fluid not normal Eclipse fluid, which can damage tin oxide sensors!

It is easy to clean. Make sure the battery is fully charged before you start! You can try blowing the dust out with a Rocket cleaner, but I prefer to use an Arctic Butterfly brush, from Visible Dust to clean my sensor. Pentax also have a cleaning kit.
If you choose to use a liquid cleaner make sure it is suitable for your camera - some will damage the coating on the sensor.
