Hi Simon

Sorry - no idea whether the 17-70 needs the WA Lee adaptor- but I'm struck by the fact that a month or so ago you posted some cracking pics of Snowdon with the K5 and dropped in an interesting comment along the lines that the K5 dynamic range performance was so good you felt you'd hardly be needing filters. At the time some decent Grad filters (Lee or hi tec) were top of my 'lust list', so your comment got me thinking I should be actually first be directing my longing in the direction of a K5. Having now been 'Cornished' what's your advice for a K7 owner wanting to do more high dynamic range landscape stuff? Continue drooling over a K5 or look to get some decent filters first??

Thanks for the advice folks, much appreciated

I've pulled the trigger and ordered a Dell U2312HM. Looked at the LG monitors too, which look great, so a toss up but there seem to be lots of v.v. positive comments/reviews out there on the Dell... and I can get quick delivery

Apologies - I know this is a hoary old topic - but I'm in need of a new monitor and would be grateful for advice and/or links to old threads that people think were particularly useful on the issue, and particularly recommendations of good makes/models for lightroom use etc etc.

I've been bumbling along with an old 18 x 12 jobbie, and fancy something a bit better and probably a bit bigger!

Well, 1024 leprechauns to be more precise.

Found myself in Glenties, County Donegal on St Patrick's Day, where there was an attempt to get the town into the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest number of leprechauns in the same place at the same time.

Strict dress rules applied, obviously

A seriously bonkers, great fun event. They held the record for a couple of hours, when it was cruelly taken away by a similar event in Bandon, County Cork who got 1263 folk dressed as leprechauns and out on their street. Crushing disappointment was conspicuous by absence as the Paddy's night craic commenced...

If I have to chose one lens to take out, it's either the DA 40 (wonderfully tiny and discreet, terrific IQ, FL which suite my style) or the 18-135 (WR, flexible).

Always great when someone shares these kind of detailed tests. Many thanks!

+1 ... great varied collection.
