It is definitely an SMC - Pentax haven't made a lens without that since the Takumar-F zooms.

I was a bit baffled why anyone would worry about flare too.

Obviously it will be SMC coated and flare will not be a 'problem' but almost all lenses will show flare if you 'torture test' them. What I was getting at is some of the DA ltds seem to have amazing flare resistance. The DA 15 ltd produces virtually no flare when you shoot directly into the sun, or other bright light source - just beautiful little rays around it. The DA 21mm seems to be almost as good from what I've read. It would be lovely if the DAL 35mm had that quality too. (Would also obviate the need for a lens hood)....

I'm not worried about flare at all, but excited to think that it might be really good in this regard!

Looks good, but I would be interested whether it's decently tough, and whether the flare resistance is up to DA ltd standard.

Congrats Sue, I'm glad that you had a good response, and I'm sure your dad would have been pleased that you decided to keep some of the photographic equipment to use yourself.

I use a 3 network dongle. 15.00 per month for 11gig and the speed is great. I have been on 3 since I lived on my narrowboat. Previously I was on t-mobile which sucked.

K10d also has a bigger viewfinder of course. But k20d makes more sense as an upgrade from a k200d as it adds live view and better high iso iq.

Fabulous spot.

At the moment I mostly listen to Youssou N'dure in the car etc, and all other music seems a bit grey in comparison. The guy deserves to be considered alongside Bob Marley at the very least imo. A shame most people only know him from 'Shaking The Tree' and '7 Seconds'.

I'm a bit cynical about most new indie music, having been spoiled growing up with the likes of the Pixies and Sonic Youth. Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures are notable exceptions, they are interesting without self conscious quirkiness, and totally rock.

Don't underestimate these. A picture of a lake looks pretty much the same whatever era it is shot in (notwithstanding some superb lighting) but sit in a boat some Edwardian holidaymakers and you have something of lasting interest. Substitute a group of 21st Century holidaymakers and we have a boring image for now.

In 100 years maybe not so boring after all?

Quite, and what's wrong with a nicely taken snap to remember a good time with a great friend or family member? Just turn the damn date stamp off!
