I think both lenses, coupled with your technique, have produced very acceptable images and I'm both impressed and surprised at the results from the Soligor lens.

Just think how much better these images might have been with modern high quality glassware.

Is that a GPS antenna on the back of the bike in #1 ? He's not on autopilot is he?

The camera looks well specified but if I had that kind of money, it'd go towards a 645D.

They weren't, it says so on the YouTube page.

Works for me. Try clearing the cache of your browser and try again.

It might be worth taking it to a Manfrotto dealer in your area to see if a more modern and available column will fit. I suspect though that the price might be prohibitive.

A quick search on ebay found these.

PS CS5 x64 has scroll bars in font selection drop down.
Premiere Elements 8 does not have them, neither does Lightroom 3.4

It seems to be a new design from Adobe and nothing to do with Windows 7.

Photoshop CS5 font drop down has scroll bars.

Which particular piece of software are you referring to?

Have you tried using the scroll wheel on your mouse?

Water under the bridge really, especially as this is a 2 year old topic and both cameras have been superseded twice with the K-7 and K5 bodies.

One huge difference between the K10D and K20D cameras that can't be ignored, is the sensor type and size. The K10D has a 10+Mb CCD sensor whilst the K20D enjoys a 14+Mb CMOS sensor.

Academic really. To my knowledge, Pentax has never updated the firmware for obsolete bodies. It ain't going to happen.

What would be really cool is for Pentax to use an open source firmware, and publish the source code. It's keep Mattmatic busy anyway.

This can be caused if the flash doesn't fire because it's not fully charged. There is a custom setting to allow the shutter to trigger even if the flash is recharging.

The EXIF data may show that the flash was required and it fired, but actually it didn't because it was not fully recharged and you had overridden the setting that prevents the shutter from firing.

So, do you have this setting set to allow shutter whilst flash is charging?
