This is getting into a back up conversation! Well I have a NAS drive as well as Flickr!
If anything happened to me then my wife could access my Flickr account and change the necessaries over....... or just delete it
Ruth wouldn't want my music collection. Hip Hop isn't her thing !

I ony started thinking about this as I have decided I really would like to get a set of NDs.

Why don't digital cameras offer built-in ND filters? In other words, why can't the electronic eye just be less sensitive and need a longer exposure? Is it because the technology of the chip means it produces too much noise with long exposures?
I get that you wouldn't see the ND-ness in the viewfinder, but that'd be a good thing, surely....
Maybe I am missing the point somewhere. Enlighten me.

Using Old Pentax Lenses on Newer Pentax Cameras:
I see that they can be picked up cheaply on ebay. What are the pitfalls on picking up a few cheaply? will they be any better (or worse) than my kit lens on my K30? That is to say, will a 50mm old lens (in good condition) produce very different shots than a modern stock lens?

I really, really love my new K-3II. I love my K-30 as well but stepping up to the new camera has made me realise how hard I had to work with the K-30 to get things right. Not that the K-30 was a bad camera at all (on the contrary) but for the number of shoots I was doing, it was really hard-going.
In any case, I am very glad I didn't wait for the new FF. I will have lots of satisfaction and fun shooting with the K-3II for quite a while.
