That's true but I bet that noise ninja thing could sort it out.
Was having a play last night, just a quick bit of messing around.
Ran it through noise ninja .. think it actually looks better with the chap in the background and I quite liked the noise in the original.

Will take it off in a few hours.

You know I haven't had a cold or cough in the last 18 months while we have been here in Spain and after going back to the UK for less than a week I am now sitting here shivering with a sore throat, runny nose, and constant cough. To be honest I don't think I want to go back to that.

Worse thing is there is no one here to feel sorry for me so its a total waste of time having it.

Normally I'd steer clear of these things but for just £16.22 including p&p and insurance I figured it had to be worth a gamble to be honest.

I would have done the same had I seen it in time.
Hope you get lucky ....

I think there might be some disappointed people around here...

Well I am for starters ... I was at least expecting a Pentax branded unit but really thought it was to be built in

So basically Pentax have logged onto Ebay, done a deal for a cheap GPS unit and then released info of a new model.

Sad to see you leaving Spain Mike, good luck in UK. Hopefully you'll be back one day.
Thanks Peter, its only until my son finishes his education and then in the immortal words of the Terminator .....

The wife has now got the idea though that when he does finish school we rent out the houses in the UK & Spain, buy a motor home and go off for a few years.

Certainly not George. Just referring to Mike's love of macro and his try anything attitude. gotta love it.
Next Im going to try attaching the lens and tubes to my bellows

Unfortunately there was no tripod mount with it , although it is so small it doesn't really need one but last night I did some investigating and I think the Canon 80-200mm f2.8 mount may fit so have ordered one from China.
Love this lens ....

Lets have a "Your worst photo thread".

I have taken many many bad pictures but consider this as one of my best worst shots.

Lightning storm .. I look at this whenever I need a laugh.

I saw the 100mm version on Ebay a few months ago for £200 + postage, I emailed the company to make sure it was new but by the time they responded it had obviously sold.

It was brand new as well ....
