Excellent crisp, graphic images.

The camera won't detect any screw thread lens because there are no electrical contacts, so that is normal.

The technique is to attach the adapter to a lens and then fit the lens to the camera. Then lenses can be unscrewed and scewed in, effectively you have changed the body into a screw mount body.

However, that adapter seems much looser than mine is. I have no rotation at all.

Unfortunately Gwyn, that's up to the cat. Just like any other animal that happens to be floating around such as a hedgehog, fox, or whatever.

The technical difference is that we can't own a cat, wheras we can legally own a dog. When we had a collie it was kept on a lead and although it was long before the days of pooper-scoopers she was trained as to where she did what. I wouldn't have a dog now.

However, equally well, we won't be getting another cat, but that's another story. In towns for sure we are moving very much away from interacting with animals at all, unlike in more rural areas.

Kodachrome had lower contrast, accurate colours, almost invisible grain and slow ISO values.

So I guess ISO100, Contrast -1, Natural tone setting would be a starting point. The sharpness level needs to be experimented with.

Could be an emotive subject, but cats make happy companions. Ours would rather be in than out, especially when it's cold. Much better to come in, ask to be fed, to be fussed, to be tucked up on the bed...seriously, she does.

Clearly she also feels far better to have a nice clean garden, which is why anything unpleasant is done elsewhere. Any other cats are shooed away mercilessly as she makes herself look twice the size she is.

I just wish that when she does want to go out it wasn't 4.30am.....

I know it's a shock to look at a girl holding a Canon camera Chris, but you can do it....

Perhaps that's why she looked so sad? I should have titled it, "If only I had a Pentax...."

A new discussion thread for this new competition. An interesting one and I've started it off with an image from Versailles.

Do have a go at this, it's got lots of possibilities.

Optically it's exactly the same. However, the DA version has metal mount, Quick Shift and a dedicated lens hood included.

The winner is automatically advised and gets a link to start the next cometition.

A reminder has also been sent.

Lens now sold.
