Good review Steve and great shots to go with it- the K30 is a cracking camera for the money especially if brought with the cash back a while ago like we did.
I'm looking forward to your review on the 21mm Ltd!

Just keep a spare coffee mug to put the little screws in.
Are those the screws (and parts) you have left over after you have put the camera back together?

What we really need is ff to become cheap enough for the average enthusiast to buy. It would have to be small enough and with a supply of reasonable lenses. The price would come down the more they sold so moving from apsc to ff would be a natural progression - ff would become the 'norm' for us.

The clarity is fantastic.

There is a like button with comment facility at the American place. My beer stocks are holding up well but a bottle of Chablis has now disappeared. The skies are very nice at the moment, the crescent Moon is descending amidst wispy cloud. The Milky Way is making its first faint appearance. I have just fallen in a heap after colliding with the barbecue, a testament to the lack of light pollution and Chablis. Setting up the camera could be a challenge.
I thought living in your neck of the woods you would have a few bottles of vin de table instead of beer but I see you do have Chablis - I'm drinking Cotes du rhone here in Stoke - the sky is clear but we have that dreaded light polution - no wine or lens filter will make this sky look clear!

Nice shots Smeggy - which lens to you tend to use when out "tube snapping"?

If I ever found myself in a relationship where I was having to hide stuff, I'd end it.
Some of my gear simply appears and she never notices because "it all looks the same to me" but sometimes I tell her I've brought something but half the price I've paid which she still thinks is expensive - not sure I could sneak a K3 past her though!
