If you have the camera set to continuous counting, then your last file number will give you a pretty good idea.

Otherwise, there are sites that you can upload your last JPEG to and they will tell you all the information including shutter count.

I have no idea, but webmasters do sometimes leave things out. Why not point it out to them so it can be corrected?

The K20D is still a good camera, I still use one for small product shots.

Welcome to the forum!

I was playing just now, and decided this zombie was called Zak and he was distressed. And who wouldn't be in his state? The foreground character is from Whitby and the background is Hall i' th' Wood near Bolton. All comments are welcome.

I've just had a look at the Ricoh site and the lens list seems complete, including the ones you couldn't find:

Second and third shots would be good, but those background faces do need removing.

It's a tricky business at events like this, with people milling about everywhere. They spoil the effect, so very careful shooting is required and sometimes a bit of Photoshop trickery where they couldn't be totally avoided.

It's also not very sharp and rather grey. More contrast would be good, as well as better sharpness overall.

It's a design difference between lenses for film and digital.

With film, light falling at an oblique angle to the film sirface is fine because the film is flat.

With digital, light is directed to fall vertically through telecentric design, so it will fall into the pits that house the individual pixels.

This matters most with wide angle lenses that would normally have lots of oblique light rays. Digital lens designs really do make a difference.

Don't jump to erroneous conclusions John. No images are ever removed for reasons such as you suggest, the assessment is entirely up to the judge when judging.

Non-Pentax images are removed, but Samsung DSLRs made by Pentax are fine.

My best guess is that your upload failed for some reason, so I'd try again.

I've used the M and A versions on film in the past and they were both fine.

Maybe they don't rspond as well to digital imaging?
