Unfortunately fisheye lenses for full frame cameras are not fisheye on digital as we only use the centre of the field of view.

You could try the front of lens fisheye converters that are offered (see the latest AP for at least one) but they will not be spectacular quality.

Not sure about that, but the cables are lited in the Pentax User shop under Price List and they seem reasonably priced enough.

One is also supplied with every camera and it's quite likely someone will have one or more that they don't use. An enquiry in Classified Ads might bring results.

It's a gorgeous lens on film, but on digital I'd prefer the convenience of the optically identical A version.

It was my favourite short telephoto when I used MX and ME Supers.

I would buy a selection of moderately priced lenses, not the expensive stuff, but the lenses most people can afford to buy.

Trawl through Amazon and all the dealers for one-off bargains and see what you can get. Then store them for a while until you judge the moment id right to recoup your costs and make a modest or even large profit on selling them on eBay or elsewhere.

A combination of a sure thing and a modest sense of risk that will be fun to do?

I had to turn down the offer of joining 14 girls on their trip down to see Jersey Boys in London. That would have been an experience I'm sure, but prior commitments...

Yes, there are some lovely girls in my gallery, thanks for looking!

It was a comment and not something to get too excited about. It wasn't offending anyone in particular.

You can edit for 30 minutes, after which everything is fixed.

Select All (Ctrl+A) then Edit>Stroke and select how many pixels wide you want the line, what colour, etc.

When that's done Deselect All (Ctrl+D) and save as required.

No sign of Gladys on your profile George. Nor on mine by the way, so maybe we should both feel vaguely insulted.
