You could always take it, read it and then re-offer it?

The issue is regarding lithium batteries. There is a leaflet detailing prohibited goods, but basically the lithium battery can be installed in an item, the item must be switched off and secured so it cannot be accidentally switched on.

I sold a magnesium wire flash on eBay and had to remove the wire because flammable metals aren't allowed either. I would have done that anyway, regulations or not.

Not quite there yet, but getting better.

Part of the problem is areas of grass and foliage that are brightly lit, often where also parts of the image are in shadow. The result from a digital sensor is a very unnatural colour in the brighter parts due to over exposure. For whatever reason, digital sensors don't like over exposed green.

The rest of it is down to processing and I'd still like to know how you'd get on with a JPEG capture. You could do RAW+JPEG and use the JPEG as a guide perhaps?

In very nice condition and fully operational, the battery grip for the *istD, priced at £20 including shipping to anywhere.

I'm not sure if it's the same one for the *istDS and others, but it was the K10D that brought in the D-BG2. Your camera manual should tell you which grips you can use.

Looks good.

I did stray from thinking about the GR didn't I? Sludge Green, sounds like a great promotional term!

From what I can see, the Japanese market loves bright, bold colours and they embrace them with wholehearted enthusiasm.

Plenty of people do here in the UK as well and I see more and more coloured cameras out and about.

Not so keen on the GR finish on this one, but there is a green Pentax Q that looks pretty good. It's just a matter of taste and cameras no longer need to be black. Except for my lovely MX-1, which just has to be black, well for me anyway.

Already the subject of a thread, so I'll close this one.

I've expanded the title for clarity and I'll move this to the Ricoh section.
