An excellent set of photographs that gives a potential charterer a real feel for what it is all about.
Hopefully you received some remuneration for such high quality work.

David has done well and hopefully will put back his other comments over the course of the next week. One of the perils of posting one long critique is that it can all be lost if anything goes amiss. I know, I've had it happen.
Guidelines are provided in the appropraite sticky in this forum section and also as a trial competition which I called "JRs Competition" and this can be referred to as a suggested way to handle the judging.

Matt is so knowledgeable that I think we need a new forum heading :-
"Questions for MattMatic"

I am starting to feel a bit sorry for this weeks judge. 31 entries so far and still 30 hours to go.
And some fabulous entries, if I might add.

I agree.I am starting to feel a bit sorry for this weeks judge. 31 entries so far and still 30 hours to go.

Martin.
Also with the theme of "A Touch of Red" there is such a wide range of subject matter
I certainly do not envy the judge

The 50mm f2 is a fine lens and you should have a great time with it.
The 40mm f2.8 is an exceptional lens, which is probably why people pay over the odds for a good one!

I did not specifically upgrade to the K20.
I decided that I wanted a second body and it seemed to make sense to buy a K20 with the £100 cashback rather than buy one of the last of the K10 bodies.

I fitted one last night and adjusted the dioptre slider as stated by JR (also mentioned in the handbook).
Setting the dioptre the correct way has made a difference to its setting
Overall I am impressed.
I can see everything in the viewfinder and it is more comfortable than the standard fitting.
Projecting further out from the body, your nose is kept further away from the LCD screen.
Also it is far easier to adjust the dioptre slider.
p.s. I used to have perfect eyesight but I am becoming more longsighted.

Thanks Martin. Don't know where my comments on this picture went to, but I remember writing them. I've added them again now so we seem to be up to date.
