I use my 90mm macro lens as a portrait lens too.

This is surely the Pentax response to Nikon's D40x? Nearly all "beginners" dSLRs have 10mp now, and people won't accept less, they always think more equals better.

I agree with Drew, and everything he says! 1 and 4 are the best. I really love 4. I would have that hanging on my wall any day.

I only managed 6/10 so well done. It is indeed scary!

I nice little quiz to test you guys. Which are real photos, which are computer graphics.....

Because of the price of the K10D reviewers tend not to compare it to the right sector of cameras. All the other camers mentioned are clearly cameras suitable as a first SLR for anyone who wants to use it as a glorified P&S and then move on to using it to it's full. The K10D is not the same - they should be comparing the K100D to these cameras.
As for Liveview someone I know has recently bought the new Oly and says Liveview is such a pain he has decided it is a waste of space. Plus the camera is so small it is getting on his nerves. Luckily he still has a Ds. He switched to Pentax a while ago, but still had Oly glass which is why he decided to go back to Oly (and the 2x cropfactor was also an issue I believe). I can see he will be selling it again soon. Luckily he has more money than sense.

Thanks for that George. I will endeavour to do the same!

A friend keeps his vast collection of Pentax glass in a glass display cabinet (an expensive dust free one!) when he is not using them.
Otherwise they are on the camera or in the camera bag.

I keep mine in my backpack most of the time, but have cases for some of them, which came with the lenses, and have bought a couple of others, for when I don't want to lug the whole shooting match around. My backpack is now full - to overflowing - so some will get permanently relegated to cases soon.
Lowepro and Tamrac amongst others do lens cases for individual lenses. they can be attached to a backpack of the same make.

Pete as I said in my PM it is caused by refraction. Apart from deliberately using the wrong WB to achieve the yellow I used no tricks. It is all down to the positioning of the glass in relation to the bottle.

Ok I was inspired by an article in Pentax User mag.
It was a great explanation of how to take pictures like this, and I had fun doing it - it filled a wet Sunday afternoon, whilst OH was watching rugby.
