We're trying to eat less, so half a loaf would be better than a whole loaf for sure.

Tonight I was very good and didn't open a bottle of wine, but opted for a bottle of water. It's not quite as satisfying, but definitely less calories.

That's interesting Karlo, thanks.

The figures are incidentally actually there, and it's perceptive of you that you suggest the parallel universe idea as it's in fact two pictures. They have been blended, but they are both straight shots. In effect two worlds collide.

I've had a long enough look to realise the two lenses are quite different.

Now I need both....sigh....

To be fair "something very similar" might be a cheap copy as well as it might be the same product though.

However, we all do as we want, and that's fine. You won't be surprised to know that I have watch batteries changed by the manufacturer. They reseal the watch to the original spec and maintain the waterproof qualities.

However, my main watch is kinetic, which solves that problem!

Here's a new image I've made. From time to time I indulge in a bit of photographic fantasy. It's rarely well received, but it pleases me to do it when the mood strikes. I will use it to stretch the imaginations of a judge eventually.

It's called The Survivors, and I wonder how you guys find you react to it?

I'm coming around to buying a pinhole-style lens and quite fancy the Shield Mount lens for the Q. I've used that, obviously so as I reviewed it for EPZ, but has anyone tried this alternative?

That's the Holga lens, much cheaper, but I wonder what sort of effect it will produce compared to the 07 on a Q.

Agreed Ken, I have a copy and it's excellent.

Actually Pietrach it doesn't say that. It says for items not about Pentax cameras and then goes on to explain it's about printing, Photoshop, etc., in other words all the things that go with the use of our Pentax cameras.

Other marques are generally off topic, as per the Terms of use.
