I backup all my data files, including photos to 3 places - 2 external desktop HDDs and a NAS device. I have also used Blueray discs, but as they seem to be dying a death I will be looking for something else when the drives eventually give up. As a previous poster said SD cards are only for tranferring from Camera to PC.

I was looking on line for pricing a K70 and saw a refurbished one on the Wex site. It had been sent for repair for underexposing; the shutter mechanism and mirror mechanism were repaired. I hope this is not the K30/50 problem here.

I managed to get a shot of it feeding, but now seems that there are 2 and possibly 3 visiting now. similar times over the last 3 nights.

I managed it last night. Night scene set, ISO at auto and aperture priority at F8. Got a shot of it at dusk/ not quite dark and edited in PSE. Later a second one appeared but the lens would not autofocus as it was too dark, so I suppose I should see about getting some additional lighting.

I have a regular visiting hedgehog, that arrives around 2300. I would like to get some pictures while it is feeding, but I don't really want to use flash for fear of hurting its eyes. I have a halogen security light that lights up the area for short time, which does not seem to bother it. What would be the best settings to use with a K-r and Sigma 70-300 lens?

Thanks in advance for any help.

At the moment I am a bit of a fairweather photographer

I may get a 55-300mm WR lens when finance permits though

Hi

I have just gone from a K-r with 18-55 and 50-200 non WR lenses to a K50 with an 18-55 WR lens. Is there a difference in the performance between WR and non WR lenses and will the 50-200 lens work OK in the K50?

Hi All

I have lurked on the forums for a while after returning to more serious photography in 2012 when I retired and treated myself to a K-r twin lens kit. Previous gear was a P30n 35mm film camera with some decent lenses, then a Fuji s5000 bridge camera. Now I am getting to grips with K-r I am getting better pictures, not worrying about wasting film.
