I like the dappled sunlight on the ground & trunk but the greens are somewhat over-saturated for me.

I can only speak with the D700, I have just the one adaptall & it works very well. You set the maximum f stop & focal length in the menu & away to go. I think it'll only store 8 different non cpu lenses, but it's only 2 settings so no great hardship if you have loads. Just have to remember to change the settings when mounting the lens.
It can overexpose slightly on scenes with very bright highlights, but only by 2 thirds of a stop at most, which can easily be dialled out using EV compensation.
The last half dozen shots on my Flickr were taken with my adaptall Mike.

Mike, the adapters for Nikon include an element to correct for infinity focus, so not the best quality unfortunately.

I'm not kidding at the film-like appearance though... was this taken with an older lens (which I've found give those nice muddy colours) or was it achieved in post process ?

The 2nd has a very film-like appearance & looking at those red shorts I'm guessing it's bona-fide 70's

Why not just wear the camera strap as a headband ?

Sorry, didn't actually respond to this one, just mentally absorbed the photo in readiness. I'm sure we'll all keep an eye out for you Daniel.
By the way, is there much money to be made with alamy ?

Hi JN, welcome to Pentax user. The exact same lens is available HERE - whilst I have no personal experience, I have read ok reports of this particular seller on the web but I'd advise you to do some more research. Just thought I'd open the options up for you, as there seems to be more reference to them in various forums.
Let us know how you get on, as I'm sure there are a few who would be interested in a tilt/shift option. I'm looking at Womble on this one !

Have to say write up on latest Nikon300s makes for interesting reading .
One just has to face up to the fact whatever you buy will be out of date in 12 months time( or even less).
Which would one you lot go for and why..unbiassed opinons only
if it beats the 50D Canon its good enough for me,just hope the kit lenses are good enough .
IMHO an out of date camera is only one that can't be used any more, for example, if the film type is no longer available.
Even that is often not insurmountable though, although electronic cameras do become defunct when the batteries or electronics are no longer replaceable.
Pentax currently offer three DSLRs, all of which are perfectly well useable and "up to date" compared with offerings from their competitors. There isn't anything in terms of photography that you can't do with them, so how much more do we need them to be?
