IN LR3.3 (and probably earlier versions) there is an option in the Library menu to Convert [selected] photo's to DNG.

In my very quick test, all previous modifications to .PEF's are retained and a 13Mb .PEF file from my K20D converted to an 8Mb .DNG file with no discernible change in IQ.

That would seem to be a significant saving on disk space. I'm now in the process of converting all my .PEF's from last year (1972 files @ 27.7Gb) to .DNG format.

As a precaution, I have of course backed up my .PEF's first

Where's the 'fingers crossed' smiley when you need one.
(Thanks Smeggypants).

I have the older FA version of the 50mm macro and it is a truly superb lens for photographing static objects. Once you've got the macro 'bug', you'll want to photograph real bugs.

I have had this on occasion. When it has happened, I clean the contacts on the SD card, reformat it in camera, and the problem goes away.

I think it is much simpler to try another battery and another good quality SD card before blaming the camera.

I'd also check that the firmware is up to date, and if it's not, update it.

Having done all three of my suggestions above, if the problem persists, refer it to the camera supplier.

I've not really paid much attention to this switch-over, but does it mean that end users will need IPv6 capable routers?

I ran the test and it failed the IPv6 tests.

Am I bovered though? Not until the Weird Wonderful Web stops working.

If you examine an image using Photome, one of the items of info. in the EXIF data is camera temperature. Check what that says.

I'd be inclined to try a new/different battery before condemning the camera.

What a strange looking spider.

I'd say it was the rear end of a caterpillar, trying to look like a snake.

I think that was his point, he was trying to be. It does seem rather out of character though, but who hasn't felt the need to let of steam occasionally.

Perhaps he meant it, perhaps he didn't. Maybe we'll never know if the 'post police' can't persuade him otherwise.

Looks like Mowog has been banned again or has asked to be deactivated. User is no longer active.

Another one bites the dust. So many good people have left this forum, and not only because they've switched systems.
