go Ben! looks like you're still causing a ruckus over there dispite not being able to post there anymore lol. The more people hear of your defection to Pentax, the better. It might make them sit up and take notice, here is a camera which can get the job done in the hands of a pro, yet costs less than £600 body only.

I think those complaining about Bens work are being a bit odd to be honist. I must admit that it is not to my taste, but that's no surprise since I'm mainly a landscape, wildlife and action kind of guy. There's no denying the quality of Bens work and that the level of skill being employed is lightyears beyond anything I could ever hope to attain.

I say we let him off, unless it was DepressingReview, in which case we burn him.

has the forum been MIA for the last 2 days?

just off the top of my head, both the currently announced DA* lenses with a fair amount of money left over to go somewhere pretty and take some photos.

where can I get one of those T-Shirts?

those ads are great!

agreed, best you can get off the net is someone else's subjective opinion of how the original files looked, plus MTF tests and the like which we all know are to be taken with a small salt mine.

that's good news Chris,

Perhaps once I've accepted that there's no way I'll be able to afford the 50-135 F2.8 DA*, I'll switch my sights to the Sigma 50-150.

mmmm pie

the Leica M is a rangefinder, it doesn't have a focusing screen
