I'd probably go with both. The cliche shot should hopefully be fairly easy to figure out so I'll get that out the way and then start finding all the new ways to look at it.

+1

Although I wouldn't share my cliche shots on the web, what's the point?

The P50 is a 35mm film camera, a bit more sophisticated than the P30n, it has two program modes instead of one and can take the MEII winder. I have one but haven't used it in years. They go for about £20 on Ebay. None of it is worth much. The lens is the most likely to sell if in good condition.

No.2 is my favorite despite the burn out in top left. You could actually crop that off down to the top of the left tree without weakening the image IMO.

I've got a Tokina SZX SD II 70-210mm and its an excellent lens, very compact and no purple fringing at all due to the APO front element. Cost about £40 and was mint condition. Its PKA too so all exposure modes work.

We have dual monitor setups at work. VGA is plainly inferior on PCs with vga and dvi. Ideally you want 2 dvi or hdmi. Vga is analog the others are digital.

Although the difference is subtle I do prefer the 2nd adjusted shot. The first looks like it's been adjusted to me. The contrast of the bird seems slightly out compared to the rest of the image, but it is very very slight.

Some users will disagree, but the finest affordable semi professional automatic is the Z-1 or the Z-1p These give you 1/8000 sec shutter speed! Expect to pay a mere £25 - £50 respectively for these models. Full manual operation is provided as well as a good range of automatic settings. These are quite substantial but excellent cameras.

It's amazing (but not surprising) to see these top end cameras going for peanuts.

my K30 has enough settings to keep me going for a long long time. I wonder how many settings people actually adjust on a regular basis anyhow?

II'm not saying it's the flagship model, but I do know it's actually potentially closer in practical specification than perhaps some give it credit for. I mean short of aspects like autofocus (of which the K-30 isn't actually that bad) you've still only ever got shutter speed, ISO and aperture to play with regardless of the camera model.

On paper the essential picture taking specs are pretty similar between a K5II and a K30.

But the Pentax 'flagship' models (starting with the K7 body, then K5 / K5II / K3) are designed with extra 'direct access' controls for the most convenient physical application in the field - eg levers for autofocus points, MF/AF.S/Af.C, metering modes, the control panel via the info button

Started with K10

I used to include it but wasn't sure if anyone was interested!
