What happened there, why it happened, and who gained the most from what happened, are food for discussion for other forums.

The photos themselves speak louder than anything else. Thanks for sharing, they are truly moving, and if I could justify summing it all up in one word: scary.

May I ask if anyone here would know if there is a gallery of photos from 9/11 here in he UK, preferably in London?

To be fair to the mods, they do a pretty good job of making sure that the threads and discussions are always on topic. When I think about PentaxUser.co.uk, I think that the forums are one of the more quality forums that's currently on the web.

Discussions on politics and religion can easily go out of hand! I think I've had two posts removed so far, which I think was fair enough.

Or maybe it's just because I have experienced managing different kinds of forums over the years, so I can relate in a way.

A slight bump for this one. Will be offloading it off of eBay should there be no interest soon.

The only problem I've found with this lens is... nothing! For £60 I'm very surprised this is still here.

Well, if there are any offers I find reasonable, let's see.

I've used the camera with the grip over 90% of the time.

It is with a heavy heart I am selling my camera gear to fund an emergency expense. Hoping to keep some of my lenses (but from the looks of it some may go too). Shutter count of just over 19,800+ and working in excellent condition as it should.

Would have sold it on eBay, but I'd rather someone here in the forums take over the kit (and that eBay will get a good chunk off of the purchase). Rest assured, the kit has been properly taken cared of.

The items are:

* Samsung GX-10 DSLR Camera (with mount cap, strap, and cables boxed with manuals)
* Samsung SBG-D1V Battery Grip (with contact points cap, boxed)
* 2x Samsung SLB-1674 (with battery caps, and a charger)
* Samsung Xenon 18-55 Kit Lens

Here are photos of the kit:

My asking price is £220 including parcel delivery. All the items will be shipped in their respective retail boxes, all together in a single big box. Payment via PayPal Gift.

Again, this item is in excellent used condition. Was actually hoping to use it next weekend, alas looks like last week was the last time I was to use this.

I answered the second option, probably because I've been using a GX-10, and maybe I misread the post.

If I buy something, I expect it to perform as 100% as advertised, with no niggles whatsoever.

To me, the actual niggles are the very limitations of the camera, then I will workaround it (example being the exposure control on M lenses, Pentax never claimed it would work perfectly, or AF in general).

A few photos I took last weekend. Had a friend join me on one of the walks. This would be my second time walking this particular section of the Capital Ring.
