In what way? The Nikons are good cameras, but older lenses may or may not AF or meter depending on the model. To a Pentax User the Nikon wouldn't be much use, and vice versa of course.

Ultimately second hand prices are governed by simple supply and demand.

What lens? Please be more specific - the lens description is on the box and also inscribed on the filter ring.

The link is no good Stefan as it needs a username and password.

I thought CS had a RAW converter, but no doubt it will need an update as that pre-dates DNG I think.

Andrew, which version of Photoshop are you using?

There isn't an option in the forum, but you have the option of diverting your e-mails to your other address. In fact I'm not sure why you can't check all your e-mails from multiple addresses in one place?

That would be a bit premature Algernon. All makes have glitches from time to time and they all put them right. Canon before now have recalled an entire lens production.

It happens.

I don't recall mentioning Ferraris, but I know what you mean. Equally well, even the poll on another thread isn't definitive. It's the problem that we can't escape with polls of any type - they are self selecting samples.

That is, they are answered by people who answer polls. We can never know what the rest think.

Oh, interesting idea here! I shall put on my Thinking Cap...

There is a case for minimising the issue because we don't know yet what the problem is, or how widespread it is. It wouldn't stop me buying a K-5 right now. It's the cost of Christmas that's doing that!

It may be that it's rare, but of course the only ones who post about it are those with a problem, so we get a skewed picture of the situation.

There are also few photographers who spend much time shooting white paper at f22....I can't remember the last time I did that.
