It depends on storage, so try it. Some films can last many years past the use by date. Black and white can last decades, although adding anti-fog agent to the developer can be a good idea for very old films.

Freeze the films now to extend their life. Allow several hours defrosting before opening and using.

The seals bask on the sand at Horsey. You can just walk up to them, but not too close as an enraged seal would be very unfortunate I think.

It does remain to be seen whether or not a new owner can make the figures add up any better.

Why not check out www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk who are a major Pentax dealer. Hopefully you'll find prices at a better level.

It's pretty obvious that these were HDR though, so as they are all the same in terms of colour and overall feel it does become a style. For these images at least. RAW or not, I think there are clipped highlights in the clouds on some shots, so pulling back on the processing is certainly something to think about.

I'll be very interested to see your alternative approach.

Some do, Patty. The Pentax originals are better made and perform better. It may or may not be significant to any individual, but how we work is an individual choice.

Many lenses focus beyond infinity so it's not really a problem. It's usually long lenses and this is to compensate for dimensional changes with temperature, which can be significant with a huge body of metal and glass.

John's reasoning may well also be quite correct.

This really isn't the place for this, being Pentax User. I would compare the reports on EPZ, DPR and other usual places.

I don't usually do things that way, instead I just follow the green markers and look at anything unread, so not really able to throw any light on that.

If it persists as a problem, best thing is to make a report marked for IT.

If you log out or move from the site Patty, then the new posts marked are only the ones since your last visit. The other option is to leave PU logged on and just minimise the window until you're ready to pick it up again. Even this might eventually time out, I'm not sure about that.

It's just the way it's designed.
