I don't know what you like to photograph but if you are living in Glasgow, so close to Loch Lomond etc, you have enormous potential for subject matter. People, buildings, situations, transport, scenery etc. etc.

Maybe don't. Camera's are generally worn round the neck not elswhere? Marcus1 wrote:

Just returned to Qatar after a brief leave in the UK.
Field tested my K7 whilst in the UK and mangaed to spoil some flash shots by not paying attention to the camera settings.
Returned here to Qatar to find my broadband not working... :
So for two days I've been in touch with Qtel to see if there's a problem with the line (ADSL). They said no problem? They said check the configuration of the modem.
Arrived back at my appartment tonight armed with an ethernet cable ready to check the modem.
As I went to plug in the ethernet cable, I noticed that I had not re-connected the phone cable!!!
Now convinced that I am loosing it.

I took a time out from the forum - I have said previously I wasn't feeling at home here any more.
Well I came back, and sadly found things haven't changed for the better.
So I have come to say goodbye.
I shall still be using Pentax equipment, so you don't need to slag me off about that. If I were changing brands I think I would put my gear on e-bay and just quietly disappear rather than risk the onslaught here.
I just don't feel happy here any more. It has changed too much for the worse. It was fun while it lasted.
Thankyou for your advice, comments and general good humour over the years. It's a pity some of it has been lost of late. Don't pick on people who change brands please. It's a free world, and you, the Pentax Users are the ones who dare to be different, and can show the world just how good Pentax equipment is. You do not need to turn on anyone who leaves the fold.
I wish you all many happy hours of picture taking, with what ever make or model of camera you choose to use.
Goodbye all.
Not been here long Gwyn, but never happy to see people leave. Having read through all of these threads I can only conclude that you will be sadly missed.I took a time out from the forum - I have said previously I wasn't feeling at home here any more.

feeb, you flatter me! I'm all blushed up! My eye is better than my photography, believe me. Reading these post's in between packing! As usual, one camera not enough so I'm also taking my Minolta 7Hi and my Fuji EXR200. One day I'll carry an SLR about, another I can't be bothered but will throw a ZLR over my shoulder or a pocket machine in the bum bag.difference is Nathan, K10D isnt trying to prove anything to me or make me feel small or bad, hes just showing me what wonderful art he can make

Just have a look what a ZLR will do..

I am sure they were all with the 7Hi but the last may have been my Oly C3040Z but you will be too young to remeber that one.

Err didn't intend to prove any points but I just knew you would like that one feeb. You gotta do what ya gotta do.
I love my *istD to death, small, light, even gripped, tempremental but when she behaves.....she is my digital MX.

and that's shot with a Pentax istD - isn't that incredible?
A 6 year old camera, 6 mp, really poor high ISO performance, lucky if you get 2.3 fps, and yet, Gary managed to get the VERY BEST out of it.
Makes you think. Like my previous post should have done.
But thank you for replying.

I bought my *istD in New York 2004 from the oldest camera shop in New York, Willoughby's [1898]. Purely on the recommendadion of Mr. Herbert Keppler who had nothing but praise for it. I bought my Minolta 500mm AF Reflex also on his recommendation to fit my Maxum 7D. "500mm, AF, imaged stabilised, hand held? You bet"! His words not mine. and that's shot with a Pentax istD - isn't that incredible?

Sorry John I do not have any M series lens and I am not good at bargaining so would prefer you to state a price and I will buy it if I can afford to as I really need one.
