Yes -- if they were on 'Real FILM' then I would have the NEGATIVES still !

Must be very FOGGY in North Norfolk -- cannot see a 'Dicky-Bird' on my screen !

You want to try to cover Billericay Town flood-lit matches on a cold November evening ---- 1/125 at f 2.5, 135mm f2.5 SMC Takumar 1970's era with screw-bayonet adapter, with ISO 1600 on my K10D

Had to cover the Traditional Boxing Day events in the Essex Village of MORETON for the Essex Chronicle -- I was the only one using PENTAX.
There was a competition in the main street first which meant lots of BEER Drinking and carrying Beer Barrels while having Flour Paste thrown by local kids, then a 'Tug'0'War' across the River between two Pub teams. I used my K10D built 2006 with a 35-80mm f4 SMC Pentax-F, a 70-150mm f4 SMC Pentax -M manual focus and a 17mm f3.5 Vivitar manual focus. On some I used some weak fill-in flash from my Sunpak auto 36FD -- I was up against some other photographers with HUGE CANONS with HUGE 28-200mm f2.8 lenses -- one staffer from the 'Guardian' had TWO Canon EOS 1 -- I think I got a few good snaps for the paper though.

No 2 shows why I do Football using 'Manual Focus' -- your Pentax has focussed on the nearer players and an editor wants the one kicking the ball in Focus .

I hope YOU watched your POCKETS in Las Ramblas while you were concentrating on Photographing !

Thought this Christmas Decoration in the Baytree Center, Brentwood looked like 'planets' -- I used my 1970's Asahi Pentax Spotmatic F+50mm f1.4 SMC Takumar, 2001 outdated Fujicolor Press 800 I had been given ,rated at 200 ASA and home-processed in C41 and scanned with Epson 1650 flatbed, Vuescan Pro and PhotoShop 7 -- oh yes, I held a 'Pentax Club'4 point Starfractor over the lens.

I shall lie on my back then and wait for Kathryn Jenkins to pass by ---

My 1960's SV and Spotmatic 1, my 1973 Spotmatic Fmy 1980's ME Super, MX and LXand 2006 K10Dare still going strong ---
