No it isn't, as I'm sure you know .
I'm using an old laptop where some of the keys don't register properly so it's a technology induced typo.
No way of changing it after posting though .
If a mod would care to correct my error in the title, I'd be grateful.

Tried it with IE8 - didn't work. Tried it with Opera - did work. Tried it again with IE8 and clicked the 'compatability view' button next to the address bar, and it worked then too, so looks like something not right with IE8 (much to the amusement of FF and Opera users everywhere :lol.I'm using Firefox 3.5 and IE8, nothing works for me.

It could do with expanding to 500mm f4/f5.6 for wildlife work,
The DA* 300mm 1:4 is very nearly the same as a 500mm lens of the film era and has a far superior IQ. With the crop factor it equates to 450mm, isn't that close enough?It could do with expanding to 500mm f4/f5.6 for wildlife work,
I guess my most exotic lens would have been the SMCP 135-600m 1:6.7 zoom until I swapped it for a SMCP 500mm 1:4.5 . . . bootiful.

Welcome Prem.
Of the Pentax flashes, if you have the money go for the AF540FGZ. It's more powerful, has tilt & rotate (the AF360FGZ has tilt only), and the battery door is more substantial.

Why would anybody want to move from a 14.6Mp APS-C sensor to a 12.?Mp FF sensor?

But who knows - as my arthritis progresses I may need a grip just to hold the camera, or more likely I shall have to give up all together. The weather is really making it play up at the moment and I am getting worried about the future.
