If you go the way of the inverter, you should use a Pure Sine Wave Inverter, it will be more expensive than a square wave, but you will pay for it in the long-run by reducing the life of the battery.

If you can get a 12v to 7.2v charger to suit the camera battery it is the safer way to go, 240v in the car is not a nice combination it is lethal voltage, if any thing goes wrong.

Here is a crop but it isn`t what I saw, and wanted to capture,but you are right it looks better.

I-berg have taken that on board,but the photo is full size so no chance of changing the perspective, I like the three trees in the centre, if I get up that way in the near future I will have a look at it.

thanks for that I-Burg

This is my first attempt at landscapes, it is a typical of mallee scrub down under, the fence wire is distracting I know, but I like it, its typical of the bush fencing.

C&C welcome.

No I don`t, someone on here will know, I get my payment by giving the photos away, and seeing the look on there face as to how much I get for them.

I have been told I should give them away

I am not sure about the logo but you are using a Pentax camera so it won`t hurt, it may look better that way

Go to "Home -Downloads -Model Release Forms" I think this will help.

It is interesting that I have never read any were to use the lens wide open , when checking for focus,this would help me to get it right,maybe.

When I cleaned a 600mm mirror lens and reasembled it, having moved all the mirrors and lenses I was worried about the focus, but checked it out on a corregated iron shed shooting a dove and found it was good but that was f8,fixed when I do the smaller lenses I will do them wide open and probably on the shed at an angle like before,it seems to work ok.

thanks for that.

Thanks for that explanation, but some of the charts on another thread that I have seen indicated to me, the focus point was on centre of the chart, but was showing more in focus at the rear of the chart which could be normal, but I thought it was seen as being front focusing (can`t find the thread) mabe my memory is to blame.

It has been said there lens`s are back focusing or FF if you look at Dofmaster Dept of field charts it clearly shows point of Focus is never centre.

55mm lens f1.2 is 49% Front Focus 51% BF

55mm lens f16 is 34% Front Focus 66% BF

55mm len f22 is 29% Front Focus 71% BF

This is at 10ft some of the longer lenses are close but the shorter are farther out
