Perhaps the strap could have been straightened and the background thrown out of focus by having a bit of distance seperating it from the girl.

Otherwise, pretty good. Well done.

At the end of the day if the 'client' is happy, that's all you need to achieve.

Sanyo Eneloop or similar technology batteries are the way to go. They have very low self dicharge rates, retaining 80% of their charge after 12 months of non-use.

I've found 7dayshop.com to be about the cheapest. Some good prices can be found on UK supermarket web sites at times too.

This is perhaps the best copy on the net, from a forum member.

Password is Pentax (case sensitive), as Bob stated.

Just the one.
Thanks John, and for that reason alone, I'd have to recommend the *istD over the DS,even though the former uses CF cards.

The Pentax 80-320mm zoom was almost identical at the wide end and long end . . .
My SMCP-FA model certainly wasn't. A common criticism of this lens is that the IQ drops off after about 260mm.

The *istDS can handle TTL flashes too, but the biggest benefit is probably it's use of SD cards, rather than CF.

The DS was my first DSLR, but I soon replaced it with a D and I can't remember if the DS has two e-dials, or just the one.

I've used them many years ago for a camera repair, and for other spares since. No problems.

You could also try Robin at Harrow Technical.

EDIT: I just read on the Harrow Technical web site that they don't repair digital models, but might be handy for the future.

Quaint, I haven't seen the silver ones. Mine are titanium colour.
