Can we avoid the politics please. This started off as photographic interest, but we don't want to stray into police-bashing instead.

Pentax User is neutral in such things, so debates about police actions need to have photo relevance.

That's interesting. I wouldn't do that to my cameras, but the more adventurous DIY photographers might well have a go.

It's going to be a problem Don. If I find a suitcase full of old prints in Granny's attic I might enjoy looking through them. If I find a suitcase full of CDs and DVDs, all nicely aged and possibly corrupted anyway, I might never get round to seeing what's on them.

The Pentax 12-24mm is probably high on the list. It's more versatile than the fixed 15mm and certainly goes wider.

If you want fun then the 10-17mm fisheye is a great lens. How useful you would find it and for how long is something else.

It is the historical context that makes these interesting. Only a few are good photographs as photography goes, but the content will always win over the technical aspects.

Now without people taking images like that, our future will be a bleakly blank canvas. It's a powerful reminder to record the world around us.

It's quite bulky, so the best solution I have found so far is the ERC. The smooth finish means it slips in and out of the pocket easily. The other cases I've found so far are too thick.

I'm not at all surprised you won, it's excellent. Well done and have fun with your Q7!

I've removed the faulty link for you.

why would you press a button on your camera to make your pictures look less sharp?

You wouldn't by choice, but you might if you were shooting something very specific that would result in moire. Perhaps some fine silk cloth, for example.

But for most of us, leaving it switched off really won't be a problem.

Nice idea, good luck with it. I'll pop this in the Your Photos section so it gets proper attention.
