I was going to suggest that a comment in this thread should be paid for by entering a picture in the competition, but I should be careful what I wish for. I might end up still writing the judging at 3 in the morning in a week's time......

So I see, and it's due to end tomorrow, which is of course why we need to set competitions as promptly as we can. It's a bit late, so I'll see if we can take it off and I'll explain to the judge.

As we have a no-show for our last week's judge, and we hope all is well with him, I have now posted a new competition to run for a little over a week, "Public Transport". Hope that stimulates some interest and we get lots of great entries!

Another K5 and you'd have two matching cameras. Even though it's a few years old the K5 can still give many cameras a run for their money.

If you want more megapixels then a K-3 or K-3 II.

You could also double check the image size is 1500px square at 72ppi and hasn't been inadvertently changed to pixels per cm, or the 1500px to 1500inches......it can happen and could potentially slow things down dramatically.

I bought this for precisely what you want it for and it's perfect.

Hope that helps!

The mirrors can lock up if the battery power fails, but otherwise most of the problems with ME series cameras that I have known have been electronic or film transport. They are very old now.....

It is a fantastic and inspiring place. Great that you could spend a bit of time there, well worth it.

There could be quite a difference in size and weight compared to the original Pentax 30mm!

Looks interesting! We'll have to see if we can get to look at one of those.
