Don't you find the FA24-90 noisy on Digital. Mine is OK on the MZ-S but I was thinking of converting it to drive screws into wood with the K-5.... Seems to have similar torque to a 40,000 rpm 100V electric drill

At least it doesn't have Self Destruct Mode (SDM) !

The winning shot was taken with a Halina Paulette Electric, not a Pentax, so I can’t post it here.
Well done too! You could always post it on your own web pages and link to it....!

Well done indeed. Aren't you honoured with a P&O Cruises Monopoly board too?
To be honest, the prize seems a bit stingy for a large company like that. Even the BBC's Countryfile calendar winner gets a £1000 prize and the runner up £500.

You realise you've given them consent to use the image and acknowledge and affirm that you are granting Carnival plc trading as P&O Cruises permission to use your photograph royalty- free, with a worldwide right and licence to use, reproduce, modify and display your photograph on any media including social media and www.pocruises.com. for advertising and promotional purposes? That's worth many £1,000s to them! Presumably they could use your image for an international hoarding or press campaign and you'd get nothing for it.
If that's true that's pretty poor really. Have a read of this: http://www.epuk.org/news/pro-imaging-launches-rights-grab-campaign

As far as I can determine, you've given the rights to use those photos to P&O for virtually free.

What would you suggest for a photography "starting kit" for taking pictures of nature, sightseeing, etc?
Given that's a very different topic to the rest of this thread why not start a new one for that? It could end up being another long thread! I'll pass making an answer in this one given its seriously off topic and wait for that thread to appear.

I've yet to have one die on me. The one that came with my K-5 is still fine as are some third party ones I supplemented it with. I usually rotate them and use them in Pentax's newer camera offerings given the K-5 tends to lay idle mostly now. I've quite a collection of them and all are absolutely fine.

Been wondering since how you managed to do 500+ scans and not notice they all looked sub-aqua?!
