So thank you again.

Considering the new Leica costs more as a black and white camera than the colour version, i doubt very much that we would pay a premium for a stripped down Pentax DSLR.

As it would be a line with a very limted, although vocal, minority appeal I think that it would indeed cost more, not less.

Thanks Archie!

Caveat Emptor means "Let the buyer beware" and no doubt there is a similar phrase "let the seller beware", but I don't know the Latin for that.

Please only offer Pentax related products. Many thanks.

Off topic posts removed, please keep to the selling/buying process. Everything else has been well covered.

If you let me know which image that is, I'll remove it.

There's the SMC Pentax 28mm f3.5 - they are found from time to time but are not cheap.

I'm not sure how much the effect is reduced on APS-C, but in any event there are software solutions in Photoshop that work very well.

I think what we should remember is that anyone who posts a picture is doing so probably because they are very pleased with it and want to share it.

Now it would be lovely if our efforts were greeted with praise that confirmed how good our shots were, but sometimes this isn't helpful to the poster. For eaxample, I know wedding photographers who are dreadful, but they still get commissions and may or may not care. I know beginners who start to get praise and then stop learning, thus making the praise counter-productive. I also know those who will go off in a huff if criticised at all.

However, the priciples of critique are clear - first examine what we like in an image, then move on to constructive comments as to how it might be improved. Most will be OK with that, otherwise maybe they shouldn't be posting images for public consumption.

But always be courteous.

I usually use IE8 or Firefox and there's no problem with either of those.

However, given that the gallery will resize to a maximum of 1000 x 1000 pixels, it makes sense to resize to those dimensions so no resizing is necessary. Also, the correct degree of sharpening can be applied.

If downsizing in later versions of Photoshop, using Bicubic Sharper interpolation will maintain sharpness for the web.

Hope that helps.
