Thats the reason - was wondering if it was my connection at home

Does Clarky post much

I really like the look of the last one.

Would have been a perfect shot - if you had all the windows squares free of objects.

Other than that - you nailed the composition and the metering looks spot on. Well done.

You keep surprising us - you keep posting excellent pictures. Conratulations on you first price.

If possible I beleive many of us would like to see the picture that won uploaded here

Thanks for clarifying - was wondering. I saw a video on you tube - from the US and the person used a 645 lens. Thats why I was interested....but thanks for clarifying.

I have seen a few lenses described as 645 or 645N. I have done some research - figuring that 645 seems to be some professional Pentax camera...

Just wondering if any of these lenses could be used on K10D ( I guess an adapter is needed ).

Anyone using some - any recommendation. Any info would be appreciated greatly.

Very nice - Any fights

Must have been pretty crowded. Some amazing machinery - the croc one is particular good....

I just love to watch the show - almost every week (if possible). Some lovely machines - and very nice pictures.

Was senior and junior present at the show?

Just a test shot from my 50mm 1.4 A (the one im selling) Just to show you how good it is.

I just converted the raw file. Thats all - and used image ready to crop....








As you see it's cropped quite a bit - but still very decent.

I got a 50mm A 1.4 on ebay atm. Faster than the 1.7

A superb lens....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MESEX:IT&item=220171343480&_trksid=p3984.cSELL.m315.lVI

Well it's a feature I use quite a lot. If you want to do a shot with the camera pointing down to the ground I find this feature very nice to have. This way you don't have problems with the legs (in the frame) from the tripod.

I have shot a lot of leaves (some my daughter picked up outisde) this way.

I just find it's easy to rotate the center column - and gives some very good handling.

I took some good shots of some cards too. I placed them on our dinner table and needed the camera to point down . This way you can avoid hand held in low light conditions.

I like the tripod to be as flexible as possible.
