Interesting, and they do mention the Canon SLR that used similar ideas in the early 1960s. That never caught on because the viewfindwer was too dim and the technology not really up to it. I wonder how it will be received now.

You use the stop down lever or the green button and the lens will allow metering (although it may not always be accurate) and will stop down to the desired aperture.

Set "Using aperture ring" to "Permitted" in the custom menu.

There's a lot of advice in this thread, but if we suppose that a beginner comes along and looks a bit dazzled at it all, what's the simple down-to-Earth advice on laptop choice?

I'd say just buy the Sony with a 17" screen, as it is it runs Photoshop just fine and has a pretty good screen as well.

The screen is critical for the highest quality work, so IMHO it would be best to upgrade the desktop along with a new IPS screen and buy the laptop with whatever is left.

A laptop on its own is not the best choice as regards screen quality.

Or alternatively, Save For Web offers a Quality level control of up to 100%.

Perhaps you could explain what you mean by 80% compressed Stefan?

Yes, totally OTT. Try a Sony laptop for around £700 and you will have a very nice 17" screen and all the spec you could possibly want.

Sue has just bought such a beast and it's fine, much better than the Toshiba that the repairers managed to trash.

They often don't end well, but hopefully this one will be OK.

We digress, but for weddings the warm nature of Pentax colour is superb. It's just that users of other marques have perhaps not tried and don't realise. And nobody, apart from forums like this, ever tells them.

You can buy them new from SRS if necessary.
