Thanks, I was reading the text and didn't get as far as the pros and cons. They contradict themselves then in their conclusion?

It looks as though all reviews are saying pretty much the same thing, an unusual degree of consensus.

Incidentally, the review linked to did not say the K-3 had sluggish AF...

I think those are outstanding. Superb shots, love the rich, dark tones and the sharpness.

Offer made and accepted, paid for, awaiting delivery.

I hate to throw things away as well. What is your location? Somebody might want to collect them. Sending by post would be quite expensive probably.

I think the term "garden" was being used in a non-literal way, certainly by me. I meant simply a plot of land belonging to someone, not literally a domestic garden.

Anyway, I'm sure nobody was offended Stu. (Thumbs up smiley)

Might enjoy the portability of the MX-1 even more. A little over budget, but possibly well worth it. I'm enjoying mine a lot.

probably the reason people post images varies, but I do it to share something/anything that takes my fancy. I shoot a lot of images and go to a lot of places, the two things are intertwined.

Feedback is great, lack of feedback perhaps means no-one has anything salient to add. The number of views is a good indicator of how interested or otherwise we all are.

But you're right Daniel, we should pay more attention, but we can't reply to a thread just for the sake of it.

You can also use that picture for the new weekly competition "Darkness", so get shooting Gareth!

PS My post is unrelated to Gamka's that beat it to the web by a few minutes.
