My K10D makes a noise when the mirror is up, it always has.

I believe the SR actuators still activate to hold the sensor in position even when the SR system is switched off. That could explain the noise.

there don't seem to be any swords involved in this game at all, pah, I shall go elsewhere for my entertainment

although on a Pentax DSLR I wouldn't have thought that would be a major problem, since you wont be using the aperture ring anyway it shouldn't have any reason to break.

Of course those who still break out the film cameras every so often might have more of a concern.

Indeed, thanks for that link, I had begun to believe that it was now impossible to do at any price. It's a lot of money for what will never be as good prints as you get from 35mm though

This man ^ speaketh great wisdom.

You can't know what a bag is like until you pick it up and examine it for yourself. Any camera bag of large enough dimensions will hold your camera, but it's got to be comfortable and convinient for the way YOU like to carry your kit.

I like a big bag which hangs by my side with everything in it, so the largest of the LowePro TLZ's is ideal for me. When traveling lighter I carry a Kata bag which I got from Chris@SRS. Cheaper than the equivalent Lowepro but very well made and takes my K10D+16-45 nicely, even with my big padded Pentax Sport Optics strap on.

Surely if you cut out JarJar and Natalie Portman, you'd just end up with about an hour and a half of space battles and light sabre fights...........oh, wait, that would be much better! my bad!

Now if we could just get someone to take Anakin Skywalker out of the first one, we might just have an enjoyable.......10 minutes or so.

I once came across a beer on hand pull at my local in Cambridge called "SkullSplitter". I have no idea what brewery it came from, but I remember enjoying it, although the evening gets a little sketchy towards the end....


And of course there's the old favourite, Theakstons Old Peculiar.

Last time I saw it, it was badged as a Wells beer. I think Wells bought Youngs about 2 years ago which has somewhat messed up the Youngs product line.

I also like the Fullers equivalent of Waggledance, Honey Dew. It has a little more Honey flavour than Waggledance and is probably the only example of a Youngs/Fullers competition where on ballance I prefer the Youngs version. Honey Dew is nice for 1 pint, but gets sickly, Waggledance I can drink all night.

Also Kodak stopped using correctly indexed film carts, so you have to chisel off the index lug if you want your 400ISO film exposed correctly.

I loved my 110, took some lovely photos, but the film is so hard to get processed these days

Welcome back to the fold

are you enjoying the K7?
