I don't see how anyone could object - as long as you gloss over / don't mention the fact that the body you used was a Canon, and the lens exhibits typically Pentaxy qualities! DSLRs are just a box with a sensor anyway, arguably it's the lens where the Pentaxiness resides

My local Tesco still does film developing! They will develop and scan your negs to CD for under £2, or they did last time I did it.

Self service tills have their place, when buying those really embarrassing items. I bet sales of things like lube have gone up no end!

Told you! Well done, it's a beautiful image.

Or Sigma 24mm f2.8

I am sure there must be a trial of LR3 available for download. It really is very good although you still need PSE as well IMO. If you download it can't you copy the install file onto a disc for use on other computers?

Nothing beats the thrill of putting your expensive loose items through as 'carrots'. Take that, Tesco! Generally I prefer my local pakistani supermarket though, talk about cheap!

The last thing I worry about when I buy a lens is what it smells like!

To be honest, comparing digital to slide or print film is a red herring. Technology has moved on and we can expect to do a lot more with our images. Some DSLRs record a terrific DR, it's there in the RAW files and gives you tremendous latitude for deciding which tones will be represented in the final picture, pulling clean detail out of what were apparently deep shadow areas.

You can only portray a limited DR on a print, but recording a high DR file in the first place lets you choose the overall balance of tones.

Early indications are that the AF-C is much improved: link

I grew up about 5 miles away! I can still remember how exciting it seemed when me and my friends realised we could walk there on our own when we were 12 or 13. I like the K20D shot with the curve of the A6.
