Thinking in terms of making a collection of photos of such items, so far I've come up with:
1. The Pentax Spotmatic
2. The Leica IIIg
3. The Coca Cola bottle
4. The iPhone
5. The Kodak film box
6. The original Mini
7. The mini-skirt
8. The Chelsea Boot
9. Microsoft Windows
10. The Police Telephone Box

Any others?

Just to clarify, there are no issues with this particular Pentax ring flash for any of the Pentax cameras. I'm not sure why you are so doubtful about it Oggy, after all it's a modern flash unit from the elctronic era.

It's been used on K10D and K20D cameras since it was new and since then it went to Jack and he's used it twice.

There isn't a problem.

The last shot there looks anything but normal to me - the post box is elongated and the floor is falling away in that typical "ultra-wide" sort of way.

Or maybe that's how you see the world!

Whatever it is, it's safe for the K20D.

There is plenty of inspiration to be found on the web. I'll quote a Dr Who producer who said, "We only ever use original ideas - other people's original ideas."

So a recommendation for having a good look around!

There's Paint Shop Pro, plus the freebies like GIMP and the simple image editor in Windows.

For the price, Photoshop Elements seems the best buy to me. There are bits missing, but for most amateur photographers it's more than enough.

Photoshop CS5 is way over the top in many ways and I wonder if many users really ever get to grips with more than a fraction of it.

77mm is very close to the other "odd" Pentax film lenses of 120mm, which were intednded as portrait lenses.

The mysteries of why may never be resolved, but probably with a very, very big site you have fallen foul of a rapid decision by someone with a huge number of issues to get through.

My advice would be to forget it and move on. If you wanted to you could ask for the decision to be reviewed. Best not to rant at them though, just make a valid point.

Perhaps you gentlemen can resolve the discussion when Stefan returns from his trip.

Well it's gone anyway, which just goes to show how fickle Miss Julian has become....
