The high ISO performance on this camera is stunning. Some pics I found on flickr:

That's an interesting review, pretty comprehensive but not too technical. Like the ephotozine review (link) it confirms that noise levels are incredibly low on this camera - far less than the K-7, when you compare ephotozine's test shots at ISO 3200.

This camera looks great. No AF point display though? Boo!

Shame on you squirrel-like hoarders, keeping your lovely lenses all to yourself and not using them! There is an excellent classified section on this website, you know!

Aiki, I feel that Boris Johnson (Mayor of London) maybe wonderin' why he hasn't had a colour 6x4 print from me as yet, 'cos he's had a lot of B&W ones.
Have I missed something re Boris Johnson?

Another excellent shot Paul, great decision to stick with colour. I hope Boris likes it, and is spurred into action!

Second and third shots are lovely... I like the diffraction stars. What wonderful photgraphic opportunities we have when water and boats are locally available.

As far as getting up early, for me 'inconvenience' is far too mild a term, but you have proved it can be worth it!

Pentax do specialise in excellent and interesting prime lenses...

So maybe the numbers could go up in primes? 7, 11, 13, 17, etc...

Have a look in my flickr site (as below) and there's a set there called lensbaby. It's an interesting tool but I'm struggling to use it well. It needs bright sparkly things to work best.

I think this one might have worked with some sunlight and better focus at the top.

Don't suppose you're a member of a local club are you? I intend to join one this autumn. Lilly suggests the RPS but that's in Bat or Birmingham.

The spider's web shots look good, and the flower shots show promise. For me, they're too similar to a 50mm lens wide open though... I want lensbaby shots to look a bit psychedelic and really blurred/distorted at the edges of the frame.

I like your graffiti shots very much Mike.

No, I'm not a member of a camera club... might be interested in the Brum one though, particularly if they have a darkroom...

Not convinced this is the best subject to use a lensbaby on, Mike. Would be interested to see other experiments with the lens though.

Nice! I too would have been tempted to go for more rigid verticals, even going as far as correcting perspective... and I might have included less of the storefront. That's just my style though, I can appreciate yours too.
