K-5, K-5 II or K-5 IIs. It's up to speed with current technology and yet available at incredibly low prices.

The best pictures are at the top of the highest peak, the furthest point from the car park in the most atrocious weather you can find. No pain, no gain!

Slightly tongue-in-cheek perhaps, but therein does lie a point.....

I use the TC outdoors, but it can also be used to increase magnification at macro distances. The focusing distance doesn't change, so you close in on the subject.

Two deletions so far this months (none last month), one the wrong date and one shot on a Sony camera.

The Tamron is designed generically and will be used with different marques.

What I meant was that the Pentax converter is designed by Pentax for its own lenses, making it possible to have a more specific set of design parameters.

I'd expect the advantage to be image quality as the Pentax converter is designed with such lenses specifically in mind.

There are plenty of adapters to use these lenses on the Pentax Q. Look for a C adapter. eBay and Amazon will give you plenty of options!

I've had less problems since moving to Google Chrome. IE doesn't handle the ads very well.

From time to time we seem to go through a slow patch and I suspect it's to do with the loading of the ads.

The only relevant factor in choosing a winner is which is the best image. Anything else leads down a very rocky road.

Someone who has just joined would win if their picture is the one that stands out above the others.
