I've used the 18-55mm in pouring rain on several occasions. No problem.

Early batches of cameras can suffer faults - I seem to recall that the K20D had lines on the image at first?

It's one of the reasons I tend to wait a little while before buying a new product. Gives things time to bed in a little and also for the initial peak price to fall back a bit.

I thought the process was incredibly slow so I haven't posted any more since the first batch of 20 images over two weeks.

I will do another batch, but it's too frustrating timewise to watch nothing happening for several weeks. It would be better if the way the voting was going was indicated and we knew what the threshold was.

Most photographers these days will be unfamiliar with the use of hand held meters. The 645 models behave like a 35mm SLR, so to be honest I would just use them the same way and dial in exposure compensation as needed.

Otherwise it's negating a lot of the handling advantage of the Pentax 645.

If you use a manual lens did it have an "A" setting on the aperture ring? If not then Custom menu>Using Aperture Ring>Permitted needs to be set.

Then stop down the camera to take a meter reading in manual. This will not be 100% accurate but is usable. It's better to use A series lenses or later.

The space between the card and the door is quite tight, so it is tricky.

Yes, we were just playing to see how Rebecca photographed. Nothing out of the session for competitions, but we'll see if this trial shoot has helped when we get to the main course on Sunday.

The debris is the remains of a feather boa, but that's another story.

I was trying out my new SMC Pentax-DA 35mm f2.4 lens earlier, actually doing some test shots in preparation for a location shoot with Rebecca on Sunday. Here she's twiddling her toes...

Edited for you. Strictly Pentax images only, sorry.

I don't think it makes much sense to overexpose a high ISO image. We might as well reduce the ISO and expose correctly.
