Good luck we have rain so no chance over here, but I have to try my, or should I say Clarky`s 600 with the 2x

Very much improved,I posted JPEG from the camera with no P&P to see why it has little noise.

K10 I have looked at your shot at 1600 it is very good.

I done the same thing just for the fun of it didn`t notice the exposure comp,but how or why do thay come out without grain at high ISO`s

With all the talk about high ISO from KX, KR, also K5,I tried a few shots inside with the K7 manual exposure and ISO set at 3200 - the shots are as good as any I have seen at high ISO`s from any camera.

This is a crop from today in the garden, finally caught one, got off 6 shots with the onboard flash, it must have blinded him because he did`nt get away.

C&C welcome

I-Berg the first pictures were OK,
Australian bush is an acquired tast,

I didn`t comment on them, but thought they were better than this set, maybe your monitor needs looking at again.

They are very much Hans Heysen like

Does any one have experince with this lens.
I have obtained four lenses two which are not any good ,it was in a job lot with flashes and filters(Coken of various types)it was the a ME Super, and is in very good condition,
is it worth keeping,
should I removing the pins, or move it on.

thank you in advance

Point taken about perspective, it is something I hadn`t thought of when the shot was taken (will keep that in mind in future shots). There were no ships in the harbour when this was taken, this is full size there is no cropping for this shot, it has filled the frame and was taken from 400 yds away.

Ps These lifters are now redundent after change of company
the sign writing has been whited out.The container lifts
are hanging on the rear of the cranes to give an idea
of the size.

Earlier this year when sight-seeing I came apon these two container-lifters, taken with 55-1.8 smc manual lens, converted to B&W.

your comments, it will help me thank you.

The comment on voltage is correct but misleading this is from Wikipedia.

Voltages of greater than 50 V applied across dry unbroken human skin are capable of producing heart fibrillation if they produce electric currents in body tissues which happen to pass through the chest area.[citation needed] The electrocution danger is mostly determined by the low electrical conductivity of dry human skin. If skin is wet, or if there are wounds, or if the voltage is applied to electrodes which penetrate the skin, then even voltage sources below 40 V can be lethal if contacted.

I dont want to contradict the comments above but we had power tool-battries running of inverters, and found when we went to pure sine wave the battries lasted longer, mabe it was a bad batch.

Here is a quote from Free Sun Power, on solar power with inverters.

Square Wave power inverters :
This is the least expensive and least desirable type. The square wave it produces is inefficient and is hard on many types of equipment. These inverters are usually fairly inexpensive, 500 watts or less, and use an automotive cigarette lighter plug-in. Don't even consider one of these types of power inverters for a home system.
