If you have something relevant then please post it - good information is always welcome.

The results of your poll are in line with what we might expect - mostly PC users, but a higher than average number of Mac users.

We have more than average Mac users as traditionally image makers were more likely to choose that path.

These days it doesn't make a lot of practical difference really.

Well it all seems a bit strange, but I'll now deactivate your account and then ask IT to remove it in due course.

I'm not sure what this is all about, but if you want your account deleting then you only have to ask. Just drop me a PM if there's a problem and we'll address it.

These lenses are not letting in less light than they should, the problem is that the meters can't cope with them in some circumstances. So the metering is what is out, not the lens.

The details of how and why this happens are in the literature somewhere, but it's a long time since I read the appropriate bits.

It has to weighed up as a balance. The early adopter has weeks or months of use before the patient waiter even gets the product - how much is that time of enjoyment worth?

I bought my I-10 months ago at a much higher price than now, but it doesn't worry me. I needed it months ago, not now.

Forgot some details: Pentax K20D, SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm lens, 3200 ISO, lighting from an LED torch.

Not in the weekly competition, but here's a fine halloween Buddy to have with you tonigh!

It might be worth mentioning that, whatever colour space you use in camera, it's a good idea to make sure that Photoshop is set to the same. Photoshop default is sRGB, so it needs changing if you use Adobe RGB.

AS regards colour spaces, I know the man who made the colour right for the big names such as Cadbury's and who advised Canon on colour, so I am quite sure that most printers will not print the full Adobe space. We had an hour and a half session of coloour just last week...

There are a couple of newer Canon printers that might, after the addition of new colours of ink. It's getting there.

Not really Prieni, it's just trying to be helpful because quite a few people I know have found colour problems on the web. There are very few circumstances in which the full gamut of Adobe RGB can be used as the range of printers, monitors and web is just about the sRGB size.

If you display Adobe RGB images on most monitors they will appear less saturated than sRGB. In most cases.

This will change in the future of course, but for now it's probably a reasonable supposition. It's not difficult to convert fortunately.

As for the point about sub-standard images we would need to ask those who have done this in the past why they did, and I can't help you there!
