These look OK to me, in fact they look a lot more than OK to me

It's difficult to assess fully without the originals but they look ok here and I have no idea what your mystery pancake filler is

Hello and Welcome

You have my sympathy Gwyn, it's sometimes hard to do the right thing

This is partly why we no longer have any pets

I have just replaced the inner workings of our kitchen mixer tap to stop each side leaking

Now I have done this 'man stuff' surely I need to rest for a while and warm the settee up with my rear end

I don't think my other half is agreeing with the rest bit though

Should I qualify the above as 'person stuff' to avoid a sexism argument

Stunning stuff

My only Ariel shots were from a 6 seater twin engined flying thingy using an Aiptek pencam (it came free with a PC I bought)

Not sure I can compete with these

More seriously - cracking work sir

Its raining here so I'm sat in watching football on tv

I just pleased that the k1 has arrived

As long as those who buy one are happy I don't really care much after that

As for who can afford it or can't that's also irrelevant to me and brands need early adopters, businesses rely on them so a big thumbs up from me to them.

I am not in that category by choice and all brands of just about everything would fail if every consumer was like me

I look forward to user reviews, online and magazine reviews etc, I look forward to Pentax sorting out any issues should they arrive but most of all I look forward to the images and user experiences as then and only then may I make a decision on whether or not to buy one

However, should anything happen to either my k5 or k10, my enjoyment of having two camera bodies could force the issue

In the me a time, those so called 'early adopters' I salute you be your purchase be by whatever means and for whatever reasons

If anyone ever quotes something to you and represents it as a law it is useful to point out that laws are very specific in that they are either statute or case law and should anyone decide to quote law to you just ask them to specify either the statute, the section and subsection or the case citation

Chances are they will look blank, confused or angry or maybe a mix of these

The reason I do this is when they cannot answer this I ask why they quote the law when in fact they are unable to do so - I then politely point out that if they do not know what law they are referring to then their chances of accurately applying it, if it exists are zero

It doesn't get you far very often but it can be fun

One individual replied that he did not need to know the law and then threatened to arrest me after I asked if his police uniform was in fact fancy dress

The other rather embarrassed looking police officer suggested that we all just walk away

If someone does quote you a law google it in front of them as this often exposes their lie, alternatively you could say nothing and just tow the line

Thanks for all of the responses, Matt has (as far as I know) bought the one from LCE

Regards



Stu

Thanks for the option - I'll put that in the mix
