If the QR plate will only take 1.5kg, that looks like being the limiting factor.

What a dreadful concept, having our posts rated and having us put into a pecking order of usefulness....

Pentax User is about everybody being welcome, not just a select few.

This is now closed.

All off topic posts were removed as they were part of a thread, replying to each other, including the offensive ones.

We can draw a line under this now and get back to Pentax photography please.

Hi Philip, yes these were all the 18-135mm.

Well done, nice blog, I enjoyed reading it all.

One useful trick I tried for the first time was multi uploading a set of EPZ images before I went. Then I could just activate one a day and that would be possible even from the iPhone without too much trouble.

Licolnshire isn't remote at all and in fact it was moving a heck of a lot faster than the Wigan area was when I returned to it. Thoroughly recommended and there are lots of great places to see.

I'm always on the lookout for details rather more than overall scenes, and here's a second example:

We drove back from Lincolnshire yesterday, spent a few hours catching up on everyday life and then were off to Macclesfield for Sue's cousin's 50 year birthday celebrations. Back home 1.30am-ish this morning, post the picture on EPZ, check messages and to bed...

So actually quite glad that a proposed trip to Eden Camp near Pickering was cancelled for today....some picture processing later instead I think.

Sure, for the amount of money a K20D will raise it probably has much more value as a backup. The only caveat is that cameras like to be used, so it would be a good idea to regularly exercise it.

We use the K-5 bodies generally, but our K20D backup is used almost every day for eBay pictures, so it keeps it in good form. I wouldn't just keep it in a cupboard doing nothing.

We've just spent a week's holiday in Lincolnshire, one of those gaps that we haven't done before. It was timely as the purchaser of the 500mm lens I had on offer lives in Lincolnshire. So that was duly delivered in person.

What's first off the holiday photo treadmill?




This was found at Belton House in the orangery and I love the moment when a subject catches the imagination and excites my interest. It's a simple shot, but I really like the colours and shapes. Feel free to express your like, dislike or indifference!
