Two Stares and Cash on Delivery for me - but something's lacking: can you add some noise? They're toooo smooth!

Bret - I already made the point that this is something which will affect KUWAITI photographers. Why should we excuse their government imposing stupid restrictions on them because it's 'cultural'?

Of course when you visit another country you operate within that country's norms, but this is a case where the Kuwaiti government has made a law which will adversely affect some of it's own citizens, and is a step backwards in terms of freedom of artistic expression.

Of course I'm sure there are budding Kuwaiti photographers who will be affected by this, and possibly forced to stop shooting the way they wish to, or abandon photography. It's not something that's just going to affect 'insensitive outsiders' from the West. The decision might have its roots in the local pecularities of Arabic / Islamic culture but that does not make it 'acceptable'.

Nice set Andrew, especially the close up of the memorial. Enjoy your new camera!

I was thinking exactly the same thing as G.

Although a little more emphasis on the using of the equipment, rather than deliberations about the buying of it, would not be a bad thing.

I see Jessops are selling Pentax DSLRs again.


Probably a good sign! Let's hope the staff are made aware that these cameras are (more than?) a match than the Canikons they usually peddle.
