I've just been out test driving my K7 for the first time, but imagine my dismay when my 100 raw 5.6 snow pictures would not display in Photoshop CS3, and that no plugin is available. So I downloaded the PEF to DNG converter, converted all the night shots to DNG. But when I viewed the results the snow had a pink tinge that dis not exist when viewed in the Pentax supplied software. Has anybody managed to track down a working plugin for CS3 or found a better method of managing this problem.

I really like the changes to your boat in the mist shot, the mountains have more presence. However I preferred the first version of the Cannon on wood image, the graduated sky compliments with the reflection in the water.

Thanks for the comment Hyram, a very good idea.

Why is it that the simplest things are always the most obvious. Thanks Steve all sorted

I have just purchased a Pentax K7 from SRS, the first thing I did was to jump onto the Pentax to apply for the cash back. I quickly came unstuck on two points:

1 The form was not encrypted (https) and was asking for bank details.
2 They require IBAN & BIC numbers, these I can only get by calling into the bank my account is held with. The bank in question being miles away and does not open on Saturdays.

Has anybody managed to work round this problem or should I just strap some tennis rackets to me feet and head out into the Northumbrian snow drifts in search of a bank.

A serious amount of snow in Northumberland, this is very worrying as I have my new K7 arriving at work tomorrow.

Well Mike I do seam to have pushed a particular button, however I to am a British Citizen and have a right to free speech or does the country you espouse to not allow that? But I still stand by what I said and make no apologies for my view.

No offence taken Stefan, suddenly he Netherlands are looking very appealing.

I think we are currently suffering from our own brand of mccarthyism in this country, for me it is a great shame.

This really saddens me, I have looked at other societies with oppressive governments and often wondered how they got to that state. Are we becoming one of those societies gradually and slowly having our freedom chipped away in order to protect us from ourselves ?

No two for me as well, I really like all the different textures of the brick work.
