Be still, my heart...
I suppose there might be a niche for it, but I struggle to see the point
I hope this rumour is unfounded, although Hoya have released just such a camera through the Kenko brand...

"I love the handling of the K7 but I find the noise a bit of an issue. I find noise becomes apparent st ISO 200, which is the setting I use the most because the D-range setting does not work at ISO 100."
Same story here. The K-7 dynamic range isn't good enough so I also run it at iso200 so as I use the DR expansion all the time. Processing a photo shot the other day at iso200 where the sky was flat produced unacceptable noise. Disappointing.

Tee Hee - photographing the Victorian school buildings in Parkgate the other day and Jo said "it`s a pity I don`t have a panoramic feature like my old APS camera"........................................."oh" - said I innocently - "what you need is a 12-24 lens like the one Davex showed me - that gives a great panoramic view and the Xenon version is cheaper than the Pentax"
Time will tell !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same here had day off to take some waterfall shots. But the thought of standing in cold water up to my cable release put me off.
Maybe next week.

I'd add Amsterdam into the mix too
I don't remember much from my visit to that city

But going up to the K200D really made a vast improvement to the amount of detail. Therefore I would hesitate before saying that the original 6mp sensor was a 'digital classic'
Very nice body though, I'm sure!

But as a whole, there are some great images there. HArd to pick a winner (IMO) so far...

Unsurprisingly it's f8... my default aperture setting!
I take your point about DOF effects, as the focus is on the shore, not the hill... but the blurring seemed strange, not like the normal OOF effect. And it seems worse at the top on the left hand side than on the more distant cliffs on the middle right. Perhaps the DOF effects are exacerbating some problem with the lens?
The focus is further back in this one (warning full size): link, and you can see that the more distant parts of the hill on the right hand side are much sharper than the parts of the hill at the top of the frame,.
