After downloading pictures from my DL2 to the PC, I often want to rotate the portrait ones in windows (right click etc) to show the pictures as a slideshow just after taking them. This is what the problem is: some of the pictures just refuse to rotate. It says the file is open somewhere else - which I'm pretty sure its not. I know there is a multiple file process feature in photoshop but I can't see a multiple rotate option. Any ideas as to why I may be having this problem? Thanks

clearly not as prestigious as wildlife photographer of the year, but I recently won the Sailing Club's annual photography competition with my pentax ist dl2. suffice to say, the other (canon!) entrants seemed quite surprised!

This has been puzzling me for a while - The hood that comes with the 18-55 kit lens has a small section on the underside that can be removed. It is clearly marked 'OPEN,' with an arrow, but I can't think of when one would want to remove it. Any ideas?

Thanks Mattmatic, That certainly helps - if I were fortunate enough to come across a 24mm what would I expect to have to pay?

Thanks for the recommendations - has the 24mm been around for a while? I can't find it on the pentax uk website.

Would this lens work with my Ist DL2 and does anyone here have experience of it? I am in search of quite a short lens that would be good for indoor pictures, and it doesn't matter if it is manual focus/aperture. Any comments or other suggestions would be most welcome.
