Did they not announce a price of £15,500? But the answer to your question is no, I don't fancy buying one. It won't be 15x better than a K7.

Gentlemen, you are discussing different things. Before this goes awry, let's not let this become an srgument?

The invitation has been there from the start to use the Gallery for all competitions, but no-one has taken it up.

Personally I'd like to see some more definite separation of the two competitions, and having them in different places does that. Otherwise we just end up with two set subject competitions on different time scales.

Does everyone adhere to the time strictures of the Fortnightly competition, or has that been forgotten?

Just under the swords and chain mail actually, I'm much older than I look...

Not perhaps what you mean, but older flash units of any power will use C cells or larger, even further back the batteries are simply enormous.

I've just thrown away, I mean disposed of, our last supplies of flash powder....Seriously. I was shocked to find it at the bottom of a box in a container neatly marked "explosives".....

It's a common problem that the forum and website always seem to be different beasts. It's the same on my own website, in fact in that case the main site and the forum are in totally different domains.

There's no issue as such, only that the way pictures can be put into the forum software is different to the way they are put into a gallery. Different functions really. The forum just allows images, which are often needed anywhere in the threads as illustrations of a point.

Basically it's up to the members where they put the images and how they see the different functions of the different options.

That's the low cost Takumar (Bayonet) 135mm f2.5 manual focus lens. Probably worth going to £20 for. Not a bad lens at all, but no "A" on the aperture ring, so slightly less convenient on DSLRs.

It is supposed to be a Pentax User site and as such images should normally be Pentax. It's impossible to totally ensure that, so we have to presume that most members will be Pentax Users.

It would be less likely that an Olympus User, for example, would join here, but not impossible. They might like the atmosphere here and want to join in general photographic chat.

It has to be Pentax only images though, and Pentax only sales in the Classifieds, otherwise it would easily turn into something else.

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons

Dungeon Master

I wondered who would be the first to ask!

Having a "notification" tab in the gallery is on the list of things to do, as soon as it can be fitted in.
