Lots of flowers, as we can see! I don't go much for overall views, but look out for the highlights, the best places we found: East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens, Thrigby Wildlife Gardens, Caister Castle Motor Museum, Strumpshaw Fen RSPB and Hoveton Hall Gardens.

One evening we also walked down to the beach at Horsey and were standing within yards of around 50 basking seals. An incredible sight.

We've just returned from a week in Horsey, deep in the Norfolk Broads. This is a selection of images from that week, just to give a taster of what the area offers.

Using Save For Web also removes the EXIF data. Save As keeps it intact. Sometimes I find an older image that I want to use and it was saved with the former, so then it needs care to ensure it was a Pentax image and that the correct info is inserted.

Sometimes if images have been mixed or a copy made, for example a digital copy of a print or a scan, then spurious EXIF data remains. Some of my black and white prints were copied on an early Fuji S7000 digital camera, which is misleading as they were actually shot on Pentax film cameras.

I'm vaguely remembering that after cocking the action of the lever will be loose until the mechanism is fired. Perhaps you didn't quite catch the release point of the small button, but I would think you tried it more than once.

Ken is absolutely right, it could be repaired.

I hate waste and having to throw things away, but sometimes it is the only economical thing to do. Perhaps the old Q could be used as a source of spares in the longer term?

It's always a trade off between DOF and diffraction, but in general I'd be quite happy at f/16 for macro shots. It is necessary for the parts of a macro subject that we want to be in focus to be in focus.

Fortunately, for web and small (up to A4) prints the standard required won't be as high as it will for A3 or larger prints, or magazine/book reproduction. So, depending on the final use, any softening may or may not be critical.

f/64 on a 10" x 8" camera will not have the same diffraction limits as on smaller formats. f/64 on a Q would probably be unusable. The f/64 group used small apertures to maximise depth of field.

I really fancy updating my W90 with one of these, so many thanks for the reassuring post and the pictures. Enjoyed them all.
