Cheers, that's what I was thinking - not perfect, but perhaps marginally better than other budget grads ('budget' in the sense of not Lee/Singh Ray 'new mortgage needed' )

Has anyone used these? I'm looking for something in P-size (85mm), but I've read that Cokin and (to a lesser extent) Hitech filters can suffer from a magneta cast. This doesn't necessarily bother me (plenty of lovely shots with Cokins online, and if the colour bothers me then that's what Lightroom is for ) but if I can get a set without it for a similar price then I might as well. Has anyone used the SRB filters, and are they any good?

Erm... I actually really love my K20D. My only Pentax complaints centre around the price, quality control, and price of their lenses.

There is apparently (I haven't confirmed this myself, as I switched to Chrome a while ago) an extension for Firefox that specifically kiboshes attempts to disable the right-click menu.

If you're at all concerned then buy using a credit card - the card provider is jointly and severally liable for any purchase over £100 if something goes wrong, under the Consumer Credit Act.

Will that Tamron autofocus on the D5000? Most (non-HSM) third-party lenses don't (nice one Nikon).

How on earth did they get all that stuff? Raid MikeP's garage?

Which would be the reason for the (by US standards) relatively low price she charged, presumably?

This could well end up in the courts - weaker protection for foreign copyright holders than domestic ones (since a UK copyright holder is obviously more 'findable' in the UK than an overseas one), as well as what is effectively a legislative 'taking' of property. I'm not a lawyer, but everyone should just remember that Parliament passing something isn't necessarily the final word.

Strange weather all round - Scotland was basically shut down on Thursday (and not too clever on Friday either) by sustained snowfall for 12 hours+
