Welcome Chris

Happy Christmas everyone

At last we see what Tim (thoughton) really looks like

Presumably the Arctic Butterfly is still the best way to clean a sensor :

But which one to buy :

Top Tip #11.

Don't try to clone out sensor 'crud' that is actually on your monitor

A wise decision, the KX has been very well received.

Welcome to the Forum

p.s. Don't change your mind

Well it looks like 4 New Year's resolutions for Kris :-

1) Buy a Ural
2) Keep the generator
3) Stay on good terms with the upstairs neighbour
4) Enter competitions earlier

I think I know what Kris's New Year's resolution should be

Congratulations to David for risking arrest by taking his winning entry

Many thanks to Dr. M. for setting and judging the competition.

The old, walled city of St. Malo is a surprisingly difficult place to photograph in mid-Winter.
A large part of the city inside the walls is in shadow.
We were only in Brittany for 8 hours, with quite a bit of time allocated to Christmas shopping and eating
I would recommend a couple of days with the right weather, to do justice to St. Malo .

................the suspense

Colin,

Yes, they are an equivalent battery (apart from a slightly lower mAh rating).

I have two of them bought in early 2007 and they still work fine.

Many other Forum members have them as well.

There are also some members who recommend sticking to Pentax batteries, so "you pay your money and take your choice".
