Thats nice.
It went through my local station a couple of weeks ago and I totally forgot about it. Kicked myself a couple of times tbh.
Edit: Infact I just realised after reading your post again that I probably missed it on the return from Swanage as well? ... do we have a banging my head against a brick wall emoji?

No you can't focus stack in camera with the K-3.

Was using Adobe Elements for quite a while but mostly DXO Photolab these days, not used lightroom for years.

We sold our main place in Spain 3 or so years ago (took a major hit on it) but still have the little end of terrace for holidays but last time we went someone pinched my wifes handbag with all our money and passports out of the car while we were standing the other side of it (wife left her door open with the bag on the floor) . Unfortunately Sam was still sitting in the back and it scared him quite badly, so much so last time we tried to get on a plane to go out he kicked off and we ended up getting off the plane and driving home.Mike-P wrote:

Thanks Mike, it's been just over 4 years, doesn't time fly. To quote John Lennon, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."Welcome back Peter ... been a while.
Not been back since.

Well it turned out to be a fairly easy fix, pull the rubber away, remove 4 small screws (as usual I managed to lose one but found it wedged in between the rubber) and then remove the rail. place the leg back in and then screw it all back.
Works fine now ... had that been my D500 I think it would have been a totally different story.

I have had the non HSM EX version, I have the HSM version for sale as I purchased the Pentax lens.
The HSM is definately sharper (not just saying that as mine is up for sale), if you want something in the older lenses price bracket though look for a Sigma 24-60mm f/2.8 which is sharper than the 24-70mm.

Very much my neck of the woods, which has given me the challenge of trying to identify the locations.
No 1 is easy, from Coast road West Mersea around 100m east of the Victory.
No 2 feels like a view from Batesmans Tower at Brightlingsea. I've shot similar sunsets there recently, but without the trimaran.
No 3 must be be the Martello tower at Jaywick (it's the only one I remember with the banking round it)
I can't place No 4 - I suspect its a bit further down the coast. there are features that make me think Brightlingsea, but the houses are wrong.
No 5 is just 10 minutes away from me now the leading lights at Dovercourt beach
Sorry no 6 is beyond me, a common sight in my parents garden, but I doubt that's where you took it!
How did I do?

I think a lot of people have also changed brands over the years and with the strict Pentax only rule it makes hanging around a bit pointless.

Do you have the box, pouch etc? Where was it made?
