I'd love to go to / take photos of the lava-filled Nyiragongo Crater in the DRC, and the 'Gates of Hell' in Turkmenistan - a huge pit of spontaneously ignited methane belching from the bowels of the earth!

This comes up a lot! In a nutshell I think this covers it:

Price v performance: Sigma
Subtly better image quality: Pentax

The Pentax is said to have less distortion, but I believe the Sigma pulls even at 12mm.

I think they're fabulous Alan. Just a bit overcropped, which reduces image quality and (just as importantly for me) removes context.

No. 5 does appear to have used flash. I like the effect but the shirt is overexposed and burned - perhaps the flash needed to be more diffused.

Some of the bride head-shots are very nice. Perhaps a little cropping to balance things up.

6 is nice, would be even better with both looking toward the camera, and perhaps the WB is a little cold. 2& 3 are a bit compositionally cramped, whereas there's too much space in no. 7 IMO, and the background isn't very conducive.

There are some very talented people here that that I would critique very strongly on when asked to critique an image, simply because I expect very high standards from them. There are others where you look more for what they've done right and try to encourage them to improve upon what they are doing.
Spot on, Don.

I would be looking for a used K-x, they're only slightly more than used K10Ds, and better in low light, faster etc. K10D is still very good though, and a great choice if you're into all-weather photography.
