What do you think it is? I thought they sounded like something to be worn about the chest but found this:

I don't think I really want them after all.

I can't think of anything else to spend £2.90 on but I could ask PentaxExpert when he comes on again, for an insider tip from his mate at 'sounds like press-ups'.

Oh Matt!

You've really taken the gloss off my lottery win with that.

I suppose I could make dougf8 an offer for 3 of his pec-pads.

2 numbers and no Lucky Stars = £2.90.

If I can just find another 7 pence, I've struck GOLD.

p.s. send the begging letters to dougf8, pack of pec-pads =£9.99 on Amazon.

I've just re-checked my EuroMillions lottery ticket from Tuesday and it's a winner.

I think I might splash out on something for my camera.

What I have observed on occasion is that not long after I have commented on someone's gallery entry, they pay a reciprocal visit and leave a similar comment on my latest offering.

I feel uncomfortable with that sort of 'mutual back-slapping' for want of a better expression.

I look at subject matter that I find interesting, so I am probably self censoring to the effect of producing mainly positive comments. If I comment on a negative aspect in a photograph, I usually comment on some other positive aspects too.

I struggle to accept the gushing comments that the first poster referred to whenever I receive such but also try to remember that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" or "one man's meat is another man's poison".

Just my own perspective...

I haven't noticed any vignetting with my DA55-300 on my MZ6, but I haven't had the slides back yet. DA16-45 looks ok from 20mm too.

Yes, a couple of times now.

I too was shooting in continuous and the camera behaviour was the same with the AF points remaining lit and everything frozen.

Cured it the way you did, by taking the battery out.

Was using Pentax battery (on 3 segments) & Sandisk Extreme III 8GB card.

I was unfazed the second time but would be a bit cross if it happenend on a crucial shot.

Regards,

I love my Rikenon 50mm f2 (circa KR10 Super, manual and no pin issues).

Sorry to hear about your misfortune, Joel.

I usually have K5+16-45 in my rucksack and then other bits accessible near the top of the pannier bags.

I usually get accosted by old gents, for whom my Dawes touring bike brings back memories.

I am off cycling touring soon and want to take my K5 and MZ6 (for slides).

From the range of lenses in my signature below, what do you think I should take (to keep the weight/bulk reasonable)?

I am thinking 16-45 + 55-300 for K5 + Rikenon 50mm for MZ6.
Apart from wider than 20mm, all lenses seem to work on both bodies.

Any thoughts welcome.
