I'm told this is the latest road map..

http://www.digital.pentax.co.jp/en/lens/roadmap.pdf

Pentax seem to be busy undoing the "crop factor" on their new lenses, for instance.: DA*55/1.4 instead of the FA*85 and DA35 instead of the FA50.
Also the DA35 will have SDM. Alos the DA 70-300 will be a DA 55-300.

Now where's my lottery ticket........

I'd be reluctant to use Dust Off to clean my sensor. It uses a propellant which can end up on the sensor, and is not designed as a sensor cleaner.
Start with a dry cleaner like the Visible Dust brushes, then go on to wet if they don't get it all. If you want to try a blower then try the Rocket cleaner.


And no you can't do batch dust removal in Elements 4. Sit there with the healing brush and get rid of it photo by photo - the only way I'm afraid.

I used the remote release on 3 sec delay too.

It was the head that let me down too, but on my Velbon I can't change it so I'm off to try out tripods this next week to see what can cope with the Bigma, and won't break the bank!

Here's my eclipse. Not too sharp as my poor old tripod doesn't cope with the weight Bigma too well.

Got some piccies. I will look at them in the morning and see if there's anything any good. It has clouded over again now.

You will see it in Spain.

It is cloudy here though

Lowepro do a lot of different ones like a range called the Rezo, or the Toploader range. Or you could try (dare I say it) a Nikon or Canon bag....

If it's clear tomorrow night you need to get together with your neighbour for the eclipse!

You'll get by just fine then. My Spanish is awful, keep trying to improve it but my poor old brain gets stuck and confused between too many languages. I'll keep trying though so I can speak to the good folk of La Palma about thier dogs next time I go. (One of my dogs is from La Palam, and is a breed that originates there!) Talking of dogs - are you taking yours? Make sure you remember to protect him from sandflies and heart worm if you do!

Sorry to hear you are having to sell your baby Pete. If I were in the UK I might be tempted...
I hope you'll stay on the forum once you get settled in sunny Spain. Good luck with the move! How's your Catalan?
