We are rolling through autumn here, odd to me as it's 32'C outside. So summers ended here and I'm planning some time in Europe for their summer! So do I qualify for double summertime and assassination?First day back at work after whitby. Just gotten used to daylight on the morning commute and it's now dark again.

You have some amazing insects over there Don. It's mostly leggy blonds and tattoed males over here.

A good trio there David. I understand that the weather was not as good as last year, is that why the lady in the third shot looks so enthusiastic?

35mm,85mm and 400mm lenses plus a larger flashgun as I need to start and use more daylight fill flash that exceeds the range of the built in units.

Just to put the cat amongst the pigeons I picked up a D7000 for a feel and that was more comfortable. The autofocus with an 18-105 seemed quicker and definitely quieter and the viewfinder was nice too.
Tell me it's just a phase and I'll grow out of it...
I have no issues with using Pentax and Nikon bodys side by side. The controls are close enough. On/off is the same and rear wheel EV comp is the same with front wheel for aperture.

I always shoot gripped bodies.
I bought my K10 and K7 without ever picking one up. I bought the D7000 without ever picking one up. I held the D700 body only for two mins before paying for it.
You will generally always adapt to a camera once you start using it. I've never had a problem with using the istD and K10D as well as the K10D and K7 side by side.

I just snapped up the last kr at one of my favorite stores, and they've already been warned by suppliers that there will be shortages and price hikes coming... on everything from Japan.
Prices in the USA are already on their way up for Canon and Nikon kit. More impact may be felt due to Nikon Precision being closed at the moment. They don't make cameras, rather the machines that handle wafer production and other ultra high precision equipment.snap 'em up now before the prices go wayy up.... that disaster in Japan WILL push prices up, and make supplies short...

It's about 427 GBP at B&H + 40 GBP shipping, so the figures are about right. The difference in the UK price, obviously goes to some deserving charity.electronetstore.com 12-24 f4 £448 seems to good to be true does anybody know them?

I'm not knocking the camera Gary, merely pointing out that it hasn't been without a few teething troubles If it had a Canon mount I'd buy it
I could list lots of niggle points with my cameras. They are things that can be handled. This stain issue and the now emergence of it possibly reappearing is a major concern. For me, if I did not already have a camera with hi ISO and low noise, I would have had a K5 from the first batch.I'm not knocking the camera Gary, merely pointing out that it hasn't been without a few teething troubles If it had a Canon mount I'd buy it
I only hope that Pentax learn and learn well from the K5. We know that they have the skill set and design capability. Understanding issues means being in a position to resolve them. In that context, a new model is needed.
Now is the time to look forward to the K5's replacement (for me).

Shot number one,"ye gads" she looks a serious piece of work.
1)Did she instruct you to photograph her?
2)Were you too scared not to?
or
3)Did you have the minerals to ask?
Second shot, that svelte appearance and look. I'll bet it was hell for her if she needed the loo......
