Great shots, looks like the Martians have landed!

Why don't you use it with your 100mm macro lens? They're designed for each other!
I'd snap it up if I didn't already have one, but can't think why you'd want to sell it, or are you changing brands given all the bits for sale at the moment?

Thank you all.

What I like about that is, apart from the odd bit of plastic downpipe, the complete absence of modern intrusions such as TV aerials, satellite dishes, yellow lines etc!
I did a little bit of retouching of several modern intrusions but not that much (a couple of aerials and downpipes!) Even the distant town buildings look period, almost like an added back drop.

A good shot John. Weather was chilly in the wind but still a good turn out. I've posted some images here: link.

Leaving for Warwick soon.

Best regards
Thanks, you have a great set on flickr Gary. Maybe I'll be a bit braver next time! The weather certainly was chiily in the morning but warmed up to the extent I had to take my jacket off when I got there around 3pm. I enjoyed my wander round.

I popped there this afternoon. Mainly took harbour views and street scenes; regarding which I feel the two characters made this view:

There happened to be an update to image Sync as well last week (now up to v 1.1.4) so I updated that on two phones and the K-1 to 1.41. Given the aim of the update was connected with connectivity it seemed it must surely fix the Image sync issue. But no, still no liveview on either phone.

Well spotted felix, thanks.
The update seems mainly to relate to changes in Image Transmitter 2, and as I don't use that (£159 for a CD!) I may wait for 1.5 which as suggested will hopefully include the video sensor shake making a comeback, fingers crossed.

It would be interesting to hear if the new version works with the Android Image Sync any better, i.e., you actually get an image preview on the phone which hasn't happened since I first got the K-1 when it worked, but hasn't since. not that I'm too worried though.

To answer Rob's query, "if you haven't updated from previous versions are those changes incorporated in the latest one?" the answer is yes, you don't need the interim versions, it's a complete new firmware.

I sometimes find instead of pressing the green button I press the exposure lock and wonder why the images come out under exposed.

Which flash do you use? I recently discovered some sync faster than that (thanks Nigel!) To achieve this the flash needs HSS (high speed sync.)

Cheers! Does it compare to using a film ME / MX which didn't have a grip (presuming you've held those!)
