The Pentax one is £44.99 at SRS. I'd buy that by choice, are you sure you'll be happy with one of these cheaper chargers?

Stroll it now is, and a very pleasant one it looks too.

Sadly, I find the out of focus highlights quite unpleasant, so that wouldn't be for me. I think the lens handles darker out of focus areas much better.

It's a pity that manufacturers aren't more forthcoming as to what any particular lens is actually designed for. The "Pentax lenses and Accessories" booklets are amusing for the number of lenses described as "the most versatile in the range"...

Not just you, I think they are too. I've even seen slanted photos in magazines and it's very common - we all need to carry a brick to stand one foot on and even us up. Seriously though it's sometimes not easy to know where exactly to line a shot up to. One side can look right and the other be out. I think if it looks right it is right, regardless of what spirit levels might say.

It's possible that a dental curing light of the original variety (UV as opposed to visible light), but they were not good for eyes so should be used with the appropriate glasses.

The K-5 II or IIs are the ones of choice really.

It is also a wonderful opportunity to really think about What Lenses. We all probably have a selection that's grown in a haphazard way, so starting again might mean some better choices and less redundancy.

like a normal technical DR limitation that we would anticipate!!
But we wouldn't expect that. There's nothing in these shots that would challenge the camera just taking a straight shot.

To repeat the question above this, what do you personally think of the images?

Yes, film can be stored in the freezer. We wouldn't mislead you with jokes.
