Yep when you consider some women spend £8K or more on a handbag, a 645D is an easily justifiable purchase in some households. Wish I was in that situation!

Lol, I love the noise (a sound of glee and amazement) he makes at 0.02...

Do you have the hood for it Andy?

IIRC they might have moved a few things round in recent versions of PSE. (I have version 7). It might be worth upgrading to PSE9 to save learning where things are, and then having to relearn again. On the other hand, when you are a PSE4 wizz, you'll easily work these things out when you do upgrade

This would be a great help taking shots of aircraft etc.

Interesting product, but a gimmick I think, and the less of these laser devices being used unnecessarily the better I think.

EXCELLENT price for the FA50mm f1.4! (Or even the F). Sorely tempted...

The 'Custom Image' settings offer a black and white setting, where you can adjust the contrast and effects which replicate using the old black and white coloured filters (e.g. red filter to darken skies and lighten skin tones).

There's a description here: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxkx/page9.asp

Kind of hard to work a three image set around a theme of 'Opposites' though, eh? I think it's a good theme and should attract a good deal more entries than, ahem, last time! (Especially with one image allowed from the archives).

I say why get hung up on the diptych vs triptych thing, let's open the comp up a little bit.

Not digging these quite as much as last time, but that's your own fault for setting a high bar! However no. 9 is superrrrb!!!

There's keeping a sense of proportion, and there's sticking your head in the sand. Only someone like Chris from Srs could confirm roughly what percentage of k5's were getting returned. But from reading this forum it's pretty clear that most of the regular posters who got a k5 had problems. And I think the stain issue was a Pentax thing not a Sony thing. Other cameras fitted with that sensor haven't suffered. They have had other problems though, sure! ;P
