We took my Mum to Arley Hall in Cheshire. Not a photo trip this time, but the I-10 was used quite a bit as there's always something new to commit to the memory card!

The 645D is another question altogether, and appeals to a totally different market segment. I can't see Pentax trying to break into two major and distinct segments (Medium Format and FF) at the same time, especially as both are high value products.

Nobody said that Pentax video wasn't acceptable here...the Pentax Digital SLR section can quite happily accommodate any discussion relating to what Pentax DSLRs can do.

If you want us to watch your movie, then why not just a link to wherever you have it hosted? Photobucket works well for stills, how is it for Video?

The things that need avoiding like added cost for no benefit have been avoided by Pentax.

The sensor that might well have been used in the MZ-D was used by Contax in a camera that cost thousands and delivered poor quality.

Leica have struggled with digital, again with huge costs for those who wanted to buy, first with the basic design of the lenses (rangefinder lenses are not telecentric designs and couldn't be much worse for digital purposes), colour casts (filters provided free with every lens) and overall with image quality worse than a K200D. Why but something worse for several times the price?

I wanted full frame at the beginning because of a lack of ultra-wide lenses, but that need has long been answered. Now all full frame would give me are added bulk, weight and cost.

Weather Sealing in Manchester seems quite appropriate much of the time. It's rather liberating to be able to carry on shooting in the rain.

Bad weather makes for some excellent images.

I have used an LED torch to illuminate underground tunnels. Plenty of light, but very blue as it stands.

It's important to apply pressure equally all round the filter - if you use pressure either side filters are distorted and lock into position.

There have been a few ideas, but basically anything you can wrap around and will grip evenly.

I always think it's a good idea to give a seller a chance to put things right. They might refund you, and maybe not even want the product back if it's not worth the cost of doing that.

It is weekend, so if they are a dealer they might not be in a position to respond until Monday.

Ultimately you can open a dispute at any timeand it all looks pretty much in your favour.

Whatever you decide I hope it all works out OK.

LEDs can be quite blue, are these fully corrected? Also the LED is a point source - does this make the illumination quite harsh and result in lots of point light sources being reflected?

Apart from those questions, it has always looked like a great idea.

A model in period dress sounds a good bet in this place and it just might be possible at some stage.
