George only stated an opinion. It's not an argument, it's a discussion. No need to escalate it into an argument.

I never delete anything, much to Sue's amusement. She's always deleting and I keep shuddering in horror. Then I say, "Can I have your last year's EPZ files for a talk?" and she understands why....

But seriously, if you delete all your mistakes you'll dent yourself the opportunity to compare what you're doing now with what you did then. Just a thought that it might help the learning curve to keep some duds?

I would imagine astronomical telescopes need to be particularly rigorous in removing chromatic aberration, so that sounds promising. It does just say "based on" though, so we'll need to see what we get when there's more detail about.

Like all lenses, the 560mm will be aimed at a particular purpose and balanced up accordingly.

I'm not sure you'd use a K-01 with a long telephoto hand held. But you might mount the lens on a tripod, leave the head free to move and use the screen to view comfortably for relatively long periods of time.

Having your eye pressed to a viewfinder can become tiring after a while.

Unfortunately this technique doesn't work too well with LiveView as the image lags too much, which is annoying. The K-01 screen will have to be faster to respond, but we'll see when we get to try one.

I still don't see the point of buying something like the Sony when the Pentax gives better image quality.

I say this based on my experience of Sony cameras. I've always found the colour and detail to be disappointing and am soon glad to get back to that fabulous Pentax coliur and general rendering.

Although the K-01 looks really quirky, and attractively so in my opinion, it's not the looks that make me want one, but the potential of how I can use it to my photographic advantage.

The corporate world is deadly serious Algi....these guys clearly mean business.

No doubt the targets will arrive in due course.

That too is true.

The original comment about white was mine K10D and originated in the marque-neutral world of magazines in general.

Nobody claimed this was gospel truth, it was just offered as a possibility.

With photography, being short-sighted is arguably more convenient. It means rear screens are not a problem.

The whole point is that a record of the transaction exists, so feedback can be built up. It's good practice to simply say when something has been sold. It's also good practice not to clutter up the threads with off topic stuiff, so we can see what's going on.

Leads to Deals, on the other hand, is something I trawl through periodically, to make sure the links are still active and that the deals still exist.
