I think we're talking about two different things here. The K-3 Ambassador images are I think submitted to Ricoh and they appear on the Ricoh site.

Here we're Pentax User and you don't have Plus membership, so only one picture per day.

Hope that helps!

I'm glad you think so David, and I agree, there have been some great shots.

Lenses lose light by internal reflections. The f/stop value is the physical size of the aperture. The T/stop is a measure of how much light actually gets through. So for depth of field purposes the f/stop is accurate, for exposure purposes the T/stop is closer.

However, T/stops haven't been used in stills photography since the early 20th century, and the f/stop is universally used. There will be minor discrepancies, but especially with modern coatings they don't add up to much.

T/stops in modern usage are used by the motion picture industry. Whether they still are Ken will tell us.

Does it come complete with the hood?

I had a very brief play with this a few days ago, and it looked rather nice. Does anybody have any more detailed observations on this?

I love finding things like this, they just beg to be photographed.

Perhaps you're viewing the embedded JPEG in Irfanview? Or the default settings are different?

The 18-135mm is an excellent and versatile WR lens. Add to that the 55-300mm and a fast 35mm or 50mm and you have a very competent kit. Other lenses can be added or substituted for specific requirements. For example, a macro is useful if needed for your style of photography.

I'd keep as many lenses as you feel like keeping though, as my experience is the one you sell is soon the one you could really do with having kept....

Fair enough, will try harder! If I find something more challenging I'll have a go and post it, but that's not really what I use the WG-3 for, so it may take a while.
