Although we made ours on a Mac I think you can do it just as well on a PC.

The Apple books are fantastic - absolutely gorgeous quality and impeccable finish and binding.

Others can be as good, but I have seen many with rough finishes and slightly less good image reproduction.

I've said it before, but I think I don't really want a full frame DSLR any more. Maybe at first I wanted the ultra-wide lenses, but since the 12-24mm and 10-17mm arrived that's just fine.

The Tokina 11-16mm looks interesting as well and I wonder if we will ever get a Pentax version.

As for FF Nikon have just brought out the "cheap" £2000 FF body, Sony are planning one soon and I suppose that Pentax would follow if the demand proved to be there.

Just like when the DA range arrived, slowly expanded and then started to get under way properly, a FF series of lenses could just as easily follow.

I used to doubt that it would, but with the need to constantly introduce and sell new products driving companies on I don't doubt it quite as strongly as I did.

Quite right, it can be very nice for portraits.

You'll find this has been extensively discussed - try the forum search facility.

The summary is that the 18-55mm is an excellent lens, probebly the best of all the kit lenses from any manufacturer. It is fairly soft wide open but sharpens up very nicely when stopped down.

The 16-45mm is a much better lens of professional quality and capable of the highest standards.

Either someone has deleted some posts they have made or I am reading something different to you guys.

Some of this just doesn't make any sense, so I'm stopping the thread now and we can move on to something more constructive.

Legitimate software is the only way to go. Somebody somewhere has put a lot of money and effort into producing Photoshop (or anything else for that matter) and they can't do it properly unless users pay for it.

This thread did become a bit tense and over-reactive. Hopefully all is now well and it will settle down again. It's a delicate balance to keep things sane whilst still letting the contrary views flow unimpeded!

It's a very good point.

Users of old cameras with no dioptre adjustment (or diopter if you prefer!) can buy adjustment lenses for the viewfinder.

Alternatively, glasses wearers who use reading glasses may find that these are ideal for viewing through older SLRs. The focusing screen has an optical distance of around 1 metre (meter....)

Please don't post the same thing in more than one forum section.

It will get noticed without doing that and Classifieds is the right place for this one.

As so many lenses are causing problems it must be the camera. I used a DS and it was fine with all lenses.

I would suggest the K200D as a replacement - a very similar design and 10.2MP as well.
