Well, XDA forums have a "Thanks" system, kinda like a reverse "Mark as Helpful" where people mark a post if they like it. A combination of the both just might make the forums more engaging.

They do, it's called "Mark as helpful"......
Yes, but only if you are the original poster. Would be nice to have a kudos system of sorts!

Nope, those measurements are accurate. My fridge though contains less beer than earlier.

Been looking at the skies every 15-30 minutes during the last few hours and... IT IS CLOUDY as hell!

Hello all! As the title says, we are in LUCK as it seems that many of us will be able to catch a glimpse of the Perseids tonight!

More information is available here.

Now, anyone here have any tips on what to do for tonight? I'm thinking of setting up the tripod in the middle of the park tonight to see how it will look like. Probably download a few apps that will help me position the camera.

Are you joining in on the fun?

Hello all. Recently purchased this lens just about over a week ago from Archie here, an impulse buy if anything!

It's in almost perfect condition (if it was in a box and sealed, then it'd be perfect!).

Have decided that I prefer to keep the 35mm 2.4 & 50mm 1.7 I have.

Here's a recent image I took using the lens:

It's fantastic. I really like it. But, to give way for other lenses I want, I will have to let this one go.

I'm selling it under the same deal that I got it from Archie: £105 including RMSD. This includes the transferable 2 year warranty from SRS dated from 4th April 2013, there's still 1.75 years (19 months) left on the warranty.

Payment is via PayPal Gift or Bank Transfer. UK only unfortunately.

Many thanks for entertaining my curiosity everyone.

It may look as if I am critical of Pentax here. I'd prefer to be called inquisitive. I love Pentax as a brand, and am trying to think the reasoning as to how they make their moves compared to the rest of the market.

I can even go and say that the reason I chose Pentax was because of this very point, that Pentax doesn't necessarily follow what is considered to be "popular".

I think many of you can remember when they released the K10D right?
