In terms of storing lenses in a dry environment, these are available on amazon:

I have not used them so I have no idea whether they are any good or not, but they are a lot cheaper from the looks of it than other dry boxes... maybe worth checking out in mored detail - there are other similar products too with a range of prices.

Cheers

Ooh cracking shots - I particularly like the side view of the Robber fly with prey. Beautifully sharp and with uncluttered backgrounds. Nicely done!

Cheers

I did exactly that this morning. Went off on my bike with just my K5 and an 85mm prime. Certainly makes my back a lot lighter

Love the first shot especially - it's a corker

Cheers

It looks like a nice lens, and I like the sound of the rounded 9 blade diaphragm and the f1.4 aperture; although I agree with earlier posts inasmuch as I already have two 35mm primes so I doubt I'll get another... be interested to see how it performs. I rather like the sigma lenses I have acquired so far

mind you, if Pentax bring out a full frame body then I might be tempted...

I like these - it looks like a very cool (and perhaps a little eerie) place - and I especially like the colours in the colour versions, the first one in particular. It has a desaturated tone to it which suits the image and the season I think

I agree with Gwyn, number 2 is ace!

I like it - I think it has a retro feel and like the tighter crop. If I was being uber-picky I might spark up the dodge tool in photoshop and have a go at the background around the woolly hat on the right hand side as you look at it... On the left hand side, despite the blurring of the bokeh effect, there is a pretty 'clean' interface between the dark hat and the light background. On the right hand side (on my monitor at least) there are a couple of areas where it looks like there are sort-of-smudges, and the background looks slightly greyer than the whiteness on the left.

As I say, uber-picky though Excellent sharpness on the eyes and I like the B/W conversion.

Cheers

I like it too - top shot and great to see the people on the ground as well as the fireworks. The way they are lit is very cool

Cheers
