Nice shots, I remember being fascinated by these when I was a kid. I like the last shot the best as it seems to offer a strange new angle on the wee beastie.

I've also heard these called Maybugs before, but I wonder how these insects got their more common name? Should I be taking extra care to tuck the duvet in and sleeping in tight pants while these beasties are about?

As we were all so keen to point out prior to the k-x and k-5, the dxo mark scores do not tell the whole story. This has not changed now that we have cameras which do a bit better.

I have the F 70-210 for my k-7, very nice lens.

Hey, he's having real babies. Not lensbabies!

Sorry- that was bad, even by my low standards...

I think being named after a high end lens would be OK.

Nothing leaps out at me from the Pentax fold. But if you had triplets, Tessar, Zeiss and Jena might be quite nice names!

No don't do that! K-7 will grow up bitter, and 'golden child' K-5 will fall from grace when he starts to suffer badly with spots.

How about they produce the same (or a similar) effect in the viewfinder electronically.

I use liveview a lot for focus confirm, but I don't like holding the camera like that, and the way it's set up is a pain. At least let us enlarge the central part of the image leaving the rest unaffected, Pentax.

I have a recipe for a small meat pie, smothered in sausage meat and encased in pastry. The 'pie within a pie'. I think I might sell the idea to Iceland.

I could just about buy another 10-20 and a DA21mm for the price of the 15mm Ltd!

There's a guy in Scotland who imports them from across the pond and sells them on ebay at a reasonble price... other than that, you can purchase from B&H and add the shipping and import taxes to the price you pay - so nasty surprises. I think the end cost is about 450.00 GBP depending on the exchange rate.

Not to mention getting "low down and dirty"
