Lovely!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm (shame I can't suss out out how to make the font GREEN)

got to admit with the dabbling into macro the range I have used tends to be f11 - f13, at f16 there is softening that I have noticed.

No luck there, mine took 5 weeks to clear customs also, and that was the express delivery option

Silica gel it to death and pop in them vacuum bag thingy-b-jigs from argos probably, I put woolies there originally

Crabbies tonight

Was up the town today and decided to pop in to Wilkinson Cameras see if they had any 2nd hand pentax kit, only to walk face first into a K5-II supported buy the K-30, they also had a good selection of lenses, prices were reasonable as well, shame on the trade in value they offered for the k-r, hence it has stayed in my bag for while longer.

But chatting with the lad in the shop and he mentioned that Pentax seemed to be picking the game up a bit and they have gone from zero new stock to almost full range of the new stock, and I quite liked the MX1 in the flesh as such, more so than the web pictures.

But just to start saving I can feel later on there maybe a wee upgrade happening from a local supplier.

LennyBloke, if tsp doesn't go for it gimme next dibs please.

I had the same with uv/skylight filters, not just with the sun either, so took them off now, still carry the uv for the hazy days but I don't think it has been back out of its box.

Can set the flash to do multiple flashes such as 3 flashes every 1/60th can't check at the minute but I think you could go to 10 flashes and vary the interval quite widely.
