Very nice, I recently swapped my Vivtar version for a Pentax DFA 100mm f2.8. Personally I think the vivitar was better.

I suppose it depends if you think you'll use Quidco again as it's £5 to join, but yeah...this is begining to get tempting...

Is this a good flashgun to get chaps?
I got £70 last month for moving broadband to O2 and £60 for moving electric and gas so worth it to me but as you say, depends how much you would use the service.

As for the flash .. sorry, no idea

Imagine though, putting camera on say a brick wall or car roof to do a landscape and then changing the horizon with the arrow buttons to get it straight.
Absolutely brilliant for me as I can never be bothered to lug a tripod around.

I was shooting RAW and my K10d seemed to fire at just around 2fps. Would it have moved faster in JPEG?
I dont think so but where the buffer would have filled up at around 6/7 shots using raw, with jpeg it would just have carried on writing to the card.

This could definitely be the upgrade I've been waiting for from my GX10...I tend to be a little cautious before spending my cash though so will await some review/user info..much depends on how much it improves on the K20D

Ditto, the most important things to me are noise and image quality .. all the extras are nice and very welcome but if those 2 things are no better then I may as well buy a K20D.

If you want to focus stack, just go ahead and do it, if you want the same feature as described in the link to automate the process a bit, get some clever bloke to write you a script!

Mike wonderfull shot, those eye-level macro's are always nice.
Btw you need to clean your sensor

Thanks Stefan.
I ordered a swab and liquid cleaner Sunday, hoping it will be here soon to sort my sensor out. I have a nasty mark on there that I have to clone out every time but I have a nasty feeling its a scratch.
