A good set of images that are effective as a faithful record of the exhibits.
Naturally, to each his own, but for me it is a relief to see that the camera has not captured the Emperor's New Clothes.

Another creative and interesting set, Nigel. It shows what great results can be achieved even with a camera and lens that precede the HOCIR era.
Cheers.

This is a cheap pinch-type cap from eBay:
As you can see, it's 43mm.

Andy, 2 to 9 are lovely images which give me the impression that I'm really there. I particularly enjoy 2, 5, and 9 (the others appearing to be just a bit too dark on one side).
Cheers.

By following the clear step-by-step instructions on the Pentax/Ricoh web site, I found that updating the camera firmware was really quite simple, and not nearly as scary as the first time I cleaned the sensor! (I'm happy to report that both procedures have worked perfectly.)

Another trip to the Hughenden Valley today, and a wander around and inside the church with the Pentax K-70 and D-FA 28-105:

For my own use and for prints for the local camera club evenings, I use the semi-matt paper from Photo Paper Direct. It has a smooth finish but it is much less prone to reflections from the surroundings than is gloss paper:

I'm sure there will be many who are happy with their K-S1 or K-S2, but I agree with Ronnie with regard to the K-70. In his list, in particular 1 and 2 could be significant for your yearbook photography. The K-70 is amazing value - a very capable and well-featured body for not much more than the K-S2.

Philip, HOCIR ? I'm afraid I was lost with that, not even an internet search came up with anything .....
