There are two distinct things going on here. Those with genuine opinions offered with helpfulness in mind are very welcome. Those wanting to troll are not. Telling the difference is more than just this thread.

We've already said that we're looking at various points raised over the next couple of weeks, so rational argument is always the best way forwards. That doesn't include flaming to cause further dissatisfaction.

Where are the genuine, good ideas? These are being sifted through, so we'll all have to wait for that and see what can be put into place. Just pushing this argument to the top of the forum with the same comments won't help that process.

ken was in the area today and we spent a pleasant day talking photography and dogs. Ken trains puppies destined to become guide dogs and brought his latest protégé around.

We saw your post earlier peter, and in our opinion you're now just trolling/flaming and trying to promote your own site, so it is now time for us to reluctantly close your account.

In 1964 Pentax was a cool brand....helped along by celebrity use such as The Beatles, Peter Sellers, David Bailey....

One of the iconic lenses was the first fisheye that didn't need a mirror lock up to work. Previously, fisheye lenses had rear elements that protruded into the mirror box, meaning the mirror had to locked up out of the way. Pentax led the field here and it became the must-have lens for wacky fashion photography.

My Mum is living with us now as she was finding living on her own increasingly difficult. Today we were over in Abergele finishing the emptying of her flat and I took the opportunity to shoot a few images with the WG-3.

I'm pleased so far and it seems a good, competent waterproof camera. I doubt I'll be taking it under water, but no doubt it will find its way below the surface at some time.

Perhaps just resetting it did the trick, but let's hope it stays fixed and they've solved the problem for you.

I think you've chosen a difficult subject for black and white, but you've done well with it. Very graphic.

You've got some great shots here. Using old lenses is perfectly viable and a great deal of fun as well.

That is definitely a blue sky! It fits though, it may look over polarised but we could believe it was really like that.
