Excellent subject and composition but underexposed. I'm not too knowledgeable on big cat markings but it does look like a Leopard to me.

Welcome f248. I'm almost certain your English is better than our Spanish, even those of us who live here.

I use Adobe Lightroom because I like the interface and the tools it provides. The only adjustment tool that is missing from it IMHO is perspective adjustment. I don't like the quirky interface of Silkypix. I have Phase One's Capture One 4.5 LE also, but prefer Lightroom because it seemlessly integrates with Photoshop.

Welcome to the forum Stefan. If you think you might like the DA* 55mm, why not try the FA 50mm 1:1.4, I'm certain that you will be very pleased with it. The FA50mm can be bought brand new for less than 200€, much cheaper than the DA*55mm.

Model numbers/names might be useful.

Before the K20D I thought about switching to the Nikon D300...


I thought about doing the same thing . . . but I'll not change now. The IQ from the K20D and the DA*/FA Limited lenses is superb and certainly as good as any I've seen from CanoNikon kit.

I doubt I'll even switch to a FF Pentax if they ever produce one. I have my MZ-S for that . . . for now anyway.

No luck on ebay then. Try re listing them with no reserve and a starting price of 0.01p. Your starting price on the MX body was certainly too high.

In over 30 years of buying photographic gear I have never known one shop/dealer to be:-

a) Knowledgable about the products they sell, and
b) Sell at fair prices, and
c) Have a no quibble guarantee/warranty, and
d) Ship items in a timely manner, and
e) Are always friendly and courteous on the phone, and
f) Waive postal charges, and
g) Have no coffee machine.

OK, the coffee machine issue is not essential to me.
