And to you Shaun. How's life beyond Pentax?

For the record, the photos they have used are here: link

Sometimes I have thought in the morning that I will go out and get a photo on the TV tonight. Then gone out and done just that.

John, you are obviously happy with that but had they gone to a picture agency they would have had to pay around £250. Your picture, being unique and not available to anyone else is worth considerably more.

Community service! I doubt they have the budget to pay several weather photos each day, probably cost more than the presenter to include! Should they want to make a profit out of them then I'd think again. if they paid for them the license fee would no doubt have to double!

While this isn't the same Look North as ours (think its yours Alan) their terms are different: Just "By sending in your picture you grant the BBC the right to publish it."

I've submitted and had used several photos on the local weather bulletins. The submission states that they are for use in their news/weather broadcast (by inference nothing more.) I believe this differs from submissions pertaining to that link which seems to refer to the national bulletins.
Anyhow thanks for that link - I had not seen those T&C before!

I still dislike the colour rendering of the K-5's, with their tendency to a magenta cast. That must be a peculiarity of the Sony sensor since the K-3 is the same.

I've noticed that magenta cast too using certain old M series lenses with various bodies when an otherwise identical photo taken with another lens did not show that cast. No idea what causes it but it wasn't the camera. I believe I note that you too use several M series lenses and they could well be the cause of your magenta cast.

I accidentally installed the battery in my new K-5 II the wrong way and cannot remove it.

Have you contacted Pentax about this? You surely can't be the first and presuming the camera is under warranty perhaps they'll show some goodwill and sort it for you. Maybe they'll take on board your problem so in future designs make that impossible to do.

There are far more than three sensor sizes! I cannot see APS-C disappearing overnight; it fits in well between the tiny ones used in phones (and the Q), 4/3, and FF.
