in the second picture, the grass looks way to green considering there's a cloudy sky above. also there's a blue tinting. As for the first one, it looks more natural.

the 18-55 MK11. I've been looking at the forum post of what good results this lens tis capable of, But me fingers are itching and all that brass in me pocket tis rubbing against me leg, wait.....forget the lens, i may need a new pair ov slacks, please, no comments about chucking it your way

so, can any ov you kind folk here help me by making sum suggestions about which lens i should consider. I would like to keep the zoom range similar, with a tendency towards a wider end, Make unimportant.

Hi
I recommend using 2 x 4GB SD-HC cards. Having smaller cards limits your losses should things go wrong.
Those 4GB take some filling up with RAW and it would be cheaper. I use transcend 4GB SD-HC Class 6, and there quick card's

Go HERE for those cards. They are reliable and you will only find them cheaper if you steal them. Oh and forget ebay, there ridiculous price wise

I have purchased from that seller and he is very good.

Hello Pentax user's

I have been looking at eyepiece magnification for my pentax, that was until i came across something called "Katz Eye" focusing screens. They do ones for most of the pentax SLR'S but they are expensive, about $100-160 compared to 40-50 quid for a genuine Pentax O-ME53 Viewfinder. The Katz eye screens are said to be superior to the standard focusing screens.

The reason for my post is because I would like to incorporate manual focusing on my long road of learning photography, so, i was looking at the Pentax O-ME53 Viewfinder to help with better focusing accuracy when composing manually. Has anyone any experience of using any of the products mentioned above? and or can you offer any advice or thoughts on the above.

Ps. I need help/resources on the subject of Hyper focal focusing as well

Many thanks for reading

Liam

I have a a Lowepro AW100 pre-slingshot design. It was down from £65 to £30 in my local camera shop. It is quite taxing on the shoulders when doing long treks through the country. If you plan to do some long walks you really need something with decent back padding/strapping and support.
