That's what I would do - took quite a lot of shots in bunkers in Normandy last year and they mostly came out ok . All depends on how big the bunker is - the one in the OP's photo isn't that big so should not be a problem. The difference in the outside meter reading and inside will be large so not easy to do hdr that looks natural.

Have you tried any of the other Pentax models Nigel? Have you tried the K30 for example? To not consider the other members of the range is a mistake - how can you dismiss them if you have not tried them? Personally I'd be very happy to have a very basic camera with aperture, shutter speed control and a shutter button and that's it - but it would have to have a first class sensor - and to be honest that's what the K30 gives me - but it does have much much more to offer. It's build is first class and it feels good in the hand too, brilliant focus plus focus peaking, it feels solid especially with a weighty lens attached - other wise I would not have brought it. I say don't dismiss other choices unless you can talk from experience and just becuse you might not fancy that model does not mean it would not suit someone else. It's quite a few years ago now but at a local newspaper we used to use Nikkormats - not Nikon F's etc and they were great - you don't always need the 'flag ship' camera to get great results.

Somethings are more important than 'extensive custom settings' - e.g how good is the sensor? Also one of the things I have always loved about Pentax is compactness - I'm not interested in sticking a lumpy grip to my beautiful K30!

Ps I agree with Richard 100%

Why Don't I ever notice theses bargains until it's too late?

Get the best camera you can afford is good advice. However I don't think you would grow out of the K50 soon. I have been taking photo's for over 40 years - my first SLR was a Zenith B - it didn't even have a light meter - my K30 has enough settings to keep me going for a long long time. I wonder how many settings people actually adjust on a regular basis anyhow?

Yes nice shots of a very cute cat!

Good post Peter (I know it was from May - only just noticed though). Ah the 283 - was quite a workhorse for quite a lot of people - and still seems to be. I love how lots of old gear, be it a lens, camera or flash is still very useable years after they were made.

Well done - maybe you can cover some over sports events that we can't see

I'm lucky - my other half can't tell the difference between an old lens or a new one sneakily brought when she isn't there - if I swapped my K30 for a K3 she would never know - unless she reads this
I would say the 18-135 gives about the same image quality as the 18-55 but of course has the better range and dc motor - but as you would probably guess it's quite a bit bigger and heavier.

Looks a great exhibition - no wonder you are proud Patrick. My kind of exhibition too - great photos to view and a pint or two to go with it!
