As our winner seems to be absent just now, I have asked George to substitute, as you guessed I would.

Look out for the new thread.

Please note the end date will be next Tuesday at midnight, as we are a little late starting and also to fit in with george's commitments.

Good luck to all.[/b]

Not yet, but a PM has been sent. At this time of year people can be away, but probably not a good idea to enter if you won't be here when the winner is declared!

If there is no response by Wednesday evening I'll invite a guest judge from our list of highly esteemed forum members. I already have a victim, sorry, candidate, in mind.

We have an Epson P2000 and to be honest it's more convenient - and cheaper - to just buy extra SD cards.

You'd have to buy a lot of cards to spend as much as the Epson costs.

Also, if it were to fail everything could be lost. There is no way every SD card is going to fail. I would guess that the failure rate of a memory card is pretty low in any event.

Scotland in May or September for me. If the light is right, it is superb.

A brand new lens? Under the shower?

My goodness, you are very brave....there could be a big differnce between water resistant and waterproof.

Quite stylish, like the shallow DOF and the warm light.

It seems to be working well and I'm delighted you're getting something out of it.

No system can please everybody of course, and we did change from Saturday to Sunday in response to requests to. Better leave it as it is for now at least.

The K mount adapter is designed just as Mannesty describes.

If it were a thicker unit it would stop the lens focusing on infinity.

If you want to use screw thread lenses, then you do have to screw them on and off the camera.

Also, don't forgat to defragment the drive from time to time. This will tidy up your hard drive and speed things up. Before you do this you might also clear out all the temporary files.

You will find the tools needed under Programs>Accessories>System Tools

1 GB of RAM will help enotmously. As soon as I installed more RAM the speed of everything just leapt forwards.

It's not expensive, so why not try that first?
