Maybe a re-think on wording may just enlighten members on your actual thoughts/feelings then.

Good work and technique. These images really would look at their best at sixty inches plus. Just the type of image to enhance a wall.

Well done. Very well done.

Colour due to a very heavy smoke filled atmosphere down to very large bush fires here at the moment.

If they drop or have dropped the screw drive with the FF body it's a low blow indeed.

Nah, use it on a cropped body and use the FF with another lens. Nothing wrong with having two cameras with you and it saves changing glass.

Probably Nigel. Just don't put cropped glass on a FF body unless you don't have FF glass.

It's there because it will generate sales of FF glass from those who have invested heavily in cropped glass should they buy the FF body. It's a stop gap measure at best which effectively keeps all of the Pentax cropped glass usable on a larger format body.

As far as I know Nigel there is no mag factor change. The smaller "cropped" area is shown in the viewfinder with illuminated lines. I don't have any cropped Nikon glass, it's all FF so I have never used the function.

I have crop mode (Dx) on a Nikon body Nigel, it's just a menu choice in the software options. If a Dx lens is attached, it switches automatically. Maybe the Pentax will be the same and if so, makes it even easier to use all lenses.

Camera on a carbon (conductive) tripod. Just set to aperture priority and adjust until you get fifteen to thirty seconds showing or set to shutter priority for similar times. Shoot away, refiring after each exposure. It helps if the lightning is frequent. The electrical storms here are impressive and nearly predictable. I took around twenty exposures. One problem is having the camera pointed in the right direction hence the 10-20mm was used to try to see as much sky as possible.
