.....I just had a look at them again, and I wonder if they're more pink than purple!! Too late to change the title ah well, purple / pink, whats the difference

Pleasant images of the flowers, Nigel. I presume that you have presented their petal colour as it appeared to you at the time, in which case they look pink to me.....but it really doesn't matter - I like to see flowers in their natural surroundings.

Cheers.

It is amazing the quality that Pentax achieved with the MX-1's small sensor. It makes one wonder what an amazing mirrorless compact they could produce with one of the bigger sensors, and by adding an EVF and a hot-shoe. If only....

I like the mono images here, Nigel, but somehow the colour ones don't 'feel' quite right. In 1 the stone of the clock tower seems to have a bit too much blue. In 2 the sky/cloud seems an odd colour, as though the colour balance of the image is too warm. By contrast, in 5 the balance just feels a bit too cool overall. Of course, I wasn't there at the time, so they could be exactly right for all I know.

Cheers.

Great images, Nigel - the d.o.f. effect makes the flowers really pop out from the background. Several members at the local club produce good flower shots in artificial light but often in front of a black background - I much prefer to see them in their o-o-f natural environment as you have presented them here.

Thank you.

'Multi Auto White Balance optimizes white balance for each area' Pentax claim.

How does it 'know'? - The technology astounds me!

I looked in Hull Jessops recently and they had no Pentax gear despite a section labelled in lights 'Pentax'! I'm not sure I ever really understood Jessops after they spread out from their Leicester warehouse, even less since their Peter Jones takeover. It seems Jessops is now a no no for Pentax despite showing up as stockists on Ricoh's 'find a dealer' page.

Most of my stuff usually comes from SRS - good people and excellent service, highly recommended. However, for anyone interested, Jessops have three pages of Pentax gear on their web site, and they can also do reasonable trade-in offers. Whether or not anyone decides to use them, at least Peter Jones has given us another alternative to consider.
