Spot on Dr O. It is the smallest ILC in the world- that is a sufficient fact to shout about- regardless of the IQ and the price and everything else about it that isn't particularly impressive.

Its a great "gadget" and should be marketed as such.

I cant recall any ads for it anywhere?
I saw a fairly prominent quarter-page ad in the 'i' newspaper, which featured their 'exclusive' relationship with Jessops. The ads looked similar to this, from Jessops website.

Quite! There is no evidence of Pentax discontinuing the Kr. They will probably only officially discontinue it after the replacement for the Kr comes out, as they push out the last stocks. Then people who want a replacement budget camera can buy the replacement, which will probably perform on par with the K5 by then.

I think it's probably a temporary glitch on your pc. Had you recently navigated to epz from this site?

By the time you have asked the moment has gone. And no. 6 is clearly too absorbed to notice or mind being photographed... He's also putting on a show so I think a photo's appropriate, maybe slip him a business card afterwards so he can request a copy. I also like the one with the hearts. A shame about the missed focus on a lot of them.

If you and your lad just want to take a few shots for your own enjoyment, I would just do it. Asking permission just obliges the club management to engage 'red tape' mode and treat you like an official photographer rather than just another punter. Just be relatively discreet with your cameras (without being shifty).

I am really enjoying my 15mm, it does need stopping down, but such a lovely lens to use and reliably sharp (and contrasty) at f8. The 14mm is a beefier lens, so has less advantage over a UWA zoom.

And we think our politicians are bad - we honestly don't know how great we have it. Still... Having seen the 'Sri Lankan Killing Fields' doco, rather puts this guy's misfortune in perspective.

I agree with David's comments re the picture, couldn't have summed the shot up so concisely myself.

'Fairly heavy expensive full frame lenses' ... Most of my Pentax lenses are FF, and are all the very opposite of expensive and heavy. I've seen results from FA lenses on FF cameras, and they look fantastic, so I'm not sure what we're scared of.

Perhaps the perception of large expensive lenses for FF comes from the way canon users like to mount very fast L lenses.

PF as in 'Pff?'
