the gunk is not on your sensor it's on your filter or lens but I suspect it's the filter.
Jack.

Don't use filters.
On the downside I got the rocket blower out to give the sensor a good blast and managed to get a bit too close.
I now have a lovely mark on there which will not come off with my sensor cleaning kit.
Only seems to show on photos of around f11 and higher/lower (never get that right).

May be interested in converter depending on price.

To me the interest was trying to get a few pictures on there.
Since accomplishing that I really haven't bothered.

As they say, the thrill is in the chase ...

I realised after that you had put a link to the gallery, excellent pics .. I voted for one of those.

Those type of programmes usually work on all media including hard drives but if the drive is coming up as not formatted that would sound more like a problem with the boot sector in which case it probably wont work.

Worth a shot though, its not going to make it any worse.

Look at the date of the post people.
His last login was a day later as well so I am guessing you will not hear back.

May be wrong though .. its been known on occasions

Well done, I see you got that warm fuzzy feeling that comes with your first submission

Will be interesting to see who is still trading in 12 months time, Pentax or Jessops.

I got one of those off another forum (seller in Australia).
Nice little lens and very sharp.

Was out in the garden this morning when a police helicopter buzzed over 3 or 4 times so ran in to grab the camera.
I took a couple of quick shots but he was flying very low and must of seen me because he hovered overhead for about 60 seconds (seemed a lot longer) and in the 3rd shot you can just about make out someone taking a photo of me taking a photo of them.
Would have liked to have got some blade movement in the first two but as usual I was more intent on grabbing the picture instead of thinking about what I was doing.

Anyway, putting them on here quick as I am expecting to be raided at any second ....
