Dear god yes, Photobucket is accurately named as it's only useful as a sort of 'bucket' for images which you want to link to but don't want cluttering up your Flickr stream....

I used my K7 for a few little bits of video -

As in stills photography, the lens makes a massive impact to the perceived 'quality' IMHO...

A lens/lens cap design which is prone to damage when the lens cap is left on, and requires a warning to prevent damage, strikes me as poor design.

The green button simply makes the camera reset the aperture and shutter speed to give a correct exposure... handy if you're in M mode and suddenly need to take a shot with auto settings. You can also use it to select the correct shutter speed when using M and K lenses (where the aperture is set on the aperture ring).

Quote:
USING M or K LENSES:

In the 'custom' menu:

'Using aperture ring' - set to 'permitted'.
'Green button in manual' - set to 'Tv Shift'.

Now with the camera in 'Manual', simply pressing the green button will set the correct shutter speed for whatever aperture you have selected on the aperture ring.

Here's hoping the mx2 has a magnetic base.

If he's no longer a member here, try googling 'MattyH' and 'Pentax' and see if he's active elsewhere under the same screen name...

Good luck, and I hope this results in paying for another holiday or piece of kit for you!

There are a million shots out there similar to this but... for the reasons mentioned above (DOF, warmth of light) this one is particularly successful. Would make a lovely card or print.
