Seems as though the site is becoming bitten by the ever increasing trend of not upsetting anyone - bowing to the minority - and invoking all the rules to suit

Just my thoughts, as I read some of the recent threads and the Mods comments about the use of PMs - deleting parts of threads, staying on topic, going off topic etc.
some of the deletions (mine included, were light hearted comments, we seem to have got all serious...

Whilst I respect and understand the need for "some control" I just find that I am not enjoying the web site in the same way as I did when I signed up! Probably even less if the level of interference in threads continues...

That happened to me as well.

I'll post the link if David doesn't mind - K-7 Battery. It looks fairly reasonable and has the same 1860mAh as the Pentax variant.
Apologies for the "Bad" link - I created it whilst logged in so I suppose the site would ask for a log in to view maybe?

This linkwas posted on 7 Day Shop on 30th April. I have purchased non OEM batteries from 7 Day Shop for my Pentax cameras and have had no problem with them. Thought I would pass this on...

Stand corrected, but Evening/Night + CPL I think is the answer to the "Blue"

So, unless you just want the "perfect set of lenses" to put in a display and show your friends, don't do it.
Show people - take them out of the display case and get dust and fingerprints on them. Also a high risk of moisture in the air at the moment.........fungus

I decided to go for long photo walk on Thursday.
Left house at 5pm and came back at 11pm. Walked through south east London (Catford, Lewisham, Greenwich, Woolwich) all the way to Thames barrier and back via Woolwich & Blackheath.
Hi - Just a thought about the blues, what white balance setting did you have in camera?

Just been to Macdonalds - OK couldn't be bothered to make my own lunch - Could hardly move for the Double Buggies and Obligatory 2.5 rug rats rolling around on the floor

We may well have St George's Day to add to our tally rumour has it. However, the Government still have to make up their minds... Still they have other things to worry about at the moment...

I wonder if the expenses row,(Now forgotten it would appear), will have much bearing on any outcome?

I much prefer to take photos of animals and birds - so the longer the lens the better for me...FA*600, FA*300 and FA* 80-200 zoom all work for me. I have recently succumbed to the DA* 60-250 and a DA* 300 as they are both lighter to work with and the faster/quieter SDM assisted focus is a pleasure

As for a perfect set of lenses - as terminal LBA sufferer - that will never happen
