So, they DO land once in a while.

Certainly one of the more attractive insects.

I remember the shot Don!

Way to go!

Good choice!

I keep trying for chocolate chip.

No luck so far

Ken,

That good ol' diopter thingy is welded to the Spot F! Thanks so much!

I figure a pair of 1.5+ reading glasses and the 2.5 inch viewing screen will have to do. Oh, you mean this isn't a Point And Shoot, and I'm supposed to look through the lens?

I have so much to learn! Does the K20D have a diopter?

Yes? Well, look at that! An upgrade required already and I haven't even got the blessed thing yet!

Meanwhile Chris at SRS is struggling to get me the K110, and putting in more effort than selling a brand new K20 with six DA lenses locally. Gotta love this guy and admire his patience

Hey, wait'll I try to POST something!

I've been wathing Lilly's latest contest - what a great theme.

Ya'll are submitting some wonderful shots!

Cheers

Thanks for the good wishes, all.

No Clarky, I'm starting off as modestly as possible with one of Chris' refurbed K110's.

Knowing me, it won't be long before I upgrade, but I'm really pokey about taking big plunges.

Figure I'll get used to basic digital and, as George says, how it handles all my beloved lenses before I scare myself witless with all those other features.

Oh, and the computer upgrades I'll need to address as well.

What have I DONE????

Talk soon.........

Hey, Don!

I'm surprized you can see out past all the skeeters on the screen!

It was YOU who draged me licking and screaming from Screwmount to K Mount with the best little K body ever - the Super Program. Just my humble opinion, but this camera is always loaded and ready to go.

Fortunately, I never said I'd never digitalize. (Did I?)

I just had to wait until all you pathfinders blazed the trail, widened it, paved it, put up all the roadsigns, built motels - aw, you get the picture.

Unlike the Super Program, I'm always loaded and stuck in the mud.

Stand by good buddy, many questions a-commin'

Yep,

Good ol' Chris over at SRS has done me a great service, and has promised to send me a refurb all the way to Canada.

In case you haven't heard, it is well worth checking with Chris for all your DSLR needs.

Now, veteran forum members remember their efforts to get me started back in my Spotmatic days - through K Mount, up to Auto Focus etc. And much appreciated!

Can't ya'll just imagine the trouble I'll get into with pixels and a computer?

Uh, where's everybody going?

Whaddayamean you hear your mother calling?

Hey!............

"I'm just a lonely boy, lonely a blue....."

These are amazing, high quality shots.

But you live in a really scary neighbourhood!

Really though, you've got this macro stuff down to a science.

(Clarky, I blame this all on you!)

I don't know what it is, but it's a hansome devil.

And that is a PERFECT shot!

Well done!
