Well that's what I read in my JLS Annual 2011 anyway

Terrific set Gary. Great results from that Samsung sensor. I like the first 'Nazi salute' one best, but they're all great!

(They didn't win X-factor btw!)

I really like no.3 Roy. As for the other two, they do look a bit under - the PSE levels histogram confirms. There's a big gap after the 'peak' on the right (representing the brightest tones):

If you pull the white slider across until it meets the 'peak' on the right of the histogram, the whites will be rendered properly white without 'blowing'. But of course it's a matter of preference

I wouldn't get that anywhere near the sensor, might leave a residue.

Same thing happened to me, but after initially panicking, I cured it with short blasts with the rocket blower, angled up into the prism. And no, it didn't blow straight back onto the sensor!

I'd try and buy off this forum if possible, why not put a 'wanted' ad in the classifieds?

You could hold your nose and buy one of the 1980s P series bodies... all the basic functions are there plus Av/P modes, none of the worries about light seals failing... someone on the forum GAVE me a fully functioning P30t and it's superb... thanks Edumad!

I've decided to go for the 35mm for now. I am saving for the next bit of kit, this might be the Tamron, or a 21mm Ltd.

Agree the site should be 'family friendly' although I did not take any offence, and was particularly amused by Ken's foray into the etymology of the word itself. I think half the amusement was the shock of seeing that word on such a sober, clean-cut forum!

Why not let your son on the site with supervision Tony? (Without supervision he's be looking at far worse things the minute your back was turned)...

Ken -

I love the way you scold Mowog for bad language, but manage to squeeze the offending 'T' word in a couple more times

Why did you use an old flash?

Because it was cheap! An expensive new one would have done the job just as well

You could buy several random old flashes on feebay for just a few quid ... this is one situation where you don't have to worry about voltage
