Guess - go on, have a guess.

All very glamourous, but I'm afraid, in my humble opinion, the ultra-skinny super-model look really doesn't make for an attractive photograph. Carola Remer looks like she could do with a couple of pies.

There's also a rather photogenic wee ruin about halfway along.

Check that they'll allow the use of flash.
A mate of mine is photographing a local club's "Fight Night" and has been told not to use flash as it distracts and temporarily blinds the fighters if fired directly into their line of sight.

I have now placed 5 images in the gallery, 4 taken with my K-X, and 1 wasn't. The exif data on my 4 Petax pics has "not been recorded"
Why is this? The images have certainly been modified in one way or another, but shouldn't the data be retained?

Dear Rab, I'm a bit disappointed in your attitude towards Canon and Nikon cameras, have you ever tried one?
I have been a Pentax user since 1975 having had a K200D, 2 K20D's and a K7 and now a P70, but there are other cameras that maybe better it's personal choice, it's not very nice to tell people to stick there cameras where ISO 52000 won't work.
you quote:
Were it not for my historical brand loyalty and years of trouble-free Pentaxery, but you upload a photo to the gallery taken with a Kodak camera,???
as I am from Greenock and I bought my first digital camera from the shop in Glasgow that you quote and it was an Olympus camera as Pentax didn't have a digital camera then and if you ever do buy a K5 will you ever use ISO 52000, I doubt it,
have a nice day,
Jack.
G'morning Jack.Dear Rab, I'm a bit disappointed in your attitude towards Canon and Nikon cameras, have you ever tried one?

First of all, I suspect you misinterpreted my comment about "Mr Canikon" as perhaps did HG. Read my second post above. Yes, it's not nice to tell people to stick their cameras ....etc however that comment was targeted towards someone who had indirectly suggested similar to me.
Yes, I uploaded a image taken with my wife's Kodak and as I said, "Not taken on my Pentax". The reason I uploaded that one was that it won first place in the prints section in a competition in my local club. Thought you might like it. (And yes, I still use that camera from time to time)
Will I ever use ISO 52000? Perhaps not. But if I had a k-5, I could if I wanted to. But again, I think you misinterpreted the humourous intent of that statement.
Finally, I stand by the content of my first post above. The second sales assistant in the shop was simply rude and disparaging. High street shops are competing against t'internet under a banner of "friendly local service and support". I feel that Jessops in Glasgow need to transmit that ethos to their staff, and from previous discussions/threads I have read, I reckon I'm not alone in my thoughts.

As you already cover this range try going outside these, maybe closer or even longer.
One of the main reasons for opting for the K-5 is its weather resistance (I live in Scotland. It sometimes rains here ) My other lenses aren't weather resistant so I'd be looking for a half-decent "standard" lens or lenses to suit the K-5 and on the face of it, the 18-135 looks like a very useful lens. Trouble is, this wide range usually comes at the expense of image quality so I'd like to hear from anyone who has used one.As you already cover this range try going outside these, maybe closer or even longer.
