Drives me nuts as well - some of the transfers I make between accounts are instantaneous, others take up to five (count em, five) working days. I've yet to work out why some combinations of accounts are hit, others not.

More Further information.
I've received a copy a data sheet from the manufacturers of the welding glass and have transcribed it into an excel spreadsheet. The gist is that each glass has a band of acceptance(for it's intended purpose)

#10 has a percentage pass of 0.0085% to 0.023% in the visible spectrum
it has a percentage pass of 0.0003% @313nm and 0.0006% @365nm in the UV
it has a perentage pass of 0.1% between 780-1400nm in the infra red

If we ignore all but the visible light (can we?) then a #10 equates to between 12 and 14 stops.

If you'd like a copy of the spreadsheet drop me a PM or advise me how I might copy into a thread window

Does this mean that their #8 would be a better approximation for a 10 stopper???

The sensor movement is also discussed for the K-7 in regard to its possible interaction with blur induced by shutter acceleration in this article - complete with the pictures that are omitted in the patent application above. See section 5.5 in particular.
Had a look at this and my brain hurts.

Thank god there's a layman's summary in there. Although worryingly it does suggest K7 owners need a 'massive' tripod to prevent shake. Remind you of anything???

That's an excellent choice PE. I would recommend that you also budget for a good sturdy tripod as it is quite heavy. This one is quite good, I think its a French make:

Yes - there's actually been some really interesting comment and discussion. Entirely positive to get the juices going in some cases
