hope you enjoy my efforts.
I do indeed. Lovely pictures. The Irix 150mm seems to be just as happy on your K1 as it is on my K3iii .

With a coat like that and the recent high temperatures, she is a very sensible dog .

An excellent set . I saw a gate while walking the dog this morning, so inspired by your gates I took a shot or two. Nothing like as good as yours, even when converted to B&W. You have the knack, now the rest of us have to work out what that is!

Look forward to some feedback trickling in
I can't comment on any individual system because I don't have any experience of them. But... you've hinted at the real question here, that only you can answer. Which is: how much are you willing to sacrifice in terms of user experience (ergonomics, optical VF, favourite lenses etc.) and £££s for losing a pound in weight and gaining a little bit of space in your bag?

And a question for those who do have experience of these systems and may be relevant for LennyBloke: Do the FF lenses have lots of aberrations which are corrected by the computer in the camera or is it the old-style (and Pentax) approach of getting it right in the lens?

Knowing the approximate age of quite a few members I'm sure many of you will have considered this question - How long will I be happy to lug around a camera bag with a selection of lenses?
Cheeky blighter!!!

If you've got suggestions for how to make the PP more effective, let me know below.
Crop even more if they can take it - I wanna see more spider, less background.

But a nice sequence of something that we all know happens but rarely, if ever, see.

Factory reset?

When all else fails, remove battery for a while, insert battery and try again. If that doesn't fix it, try a factory reset.

Did the problem start with the onset of hot, dry weather? If so, static electricity might be the cause. The user manual for my K3 says "In rare cases, the camera may not operate correctly due to static electricity. This can be remedied by taking the battery out and putting it back in again."

Good luck!

And another vote for 3 and 5. For me, waves swirling around rocks are always more impressive live than in a photo - unless it's in storm force 9 conditions!

I do hope the person at the end of the rocks in no. 2 had a safe route back to dry land...

Have you checked all the memory cards on a computer? All OK and same folder structure?

We have Crane Flys in the UK but they look nothing like that
We do have Tiger Crane Flies link, but their markings aren't as vivid as this one.
