It's probably not a good idea to extend a zoom lens, such as the 18-135WR, while on the camera in dust and rain - the decrease in internal pressure could easily force micro-particles and water past the seals. It is possible that this is how some reported failures of WR may have been caused.

You have a way with words, Algi - that's quite a graphic analogy!

...and a good title! It's the one for me also, with the composition just as it is,

( I like'Grazing' without the foreground road, and 'Urban deer' without the strip of background on the left hand side.)

Cheers.

An entertaining shot, Peter.

( He's probably taking Rodinal and Benzotriazole. )

For its usual price of £595 the K-70 is an amazing camera. For £395 it's phenomenal!

I couldn't agree more, John. The maximum size and quality JPEGs are good in almost every case and (as Nigel has discovered) they will accept the usual kinds of Photoshop-type tweaking to give excellent quality photos, e.g. for club competition projected images and prints up to A3.

Nigel, perhaps you might consider setting up a User Mode with all the appropriate settings to give a typical good shot at maximum JPEG size and quality plus raw. Then get into the habit of switching the camera to that mode (if necessary) at the end of every shoot.

Cheers.

For me the autumn colours and the reflections are great (and I'm happy to let you keep the last image!).

Cheers.

All good and #9 is great!

And print sizes are often quoted in inches, e.g. - 16x12, 12x8, 10x8, 8x6, 7x5 and 6x4.
