I left early from work and picked mine up from SRS on the way home (a bit of a detour via Watford)

Externally it's almost indistinguishable from the K10D.

I'm just about to put a battery in and try it out...

I thought the magnification values were the amount of magnification that happens when zooming due to minor changes in focal length.

I tend to use PSD for my post processing because TIFF files are just HUGE!!!

I really don't like working with 200MB TIFF files. Then again I have some ongoing micro work with 30 layer PSD which need to be combined into one shot with a large DoF which are nearly that big.

*drool*

I wish they chosen to make a new DA* 300 F2.8 Too expensive though...

I really want a DA*400F5.6

If Pentax bring out a 'full-frame' camera there will be no need for the 645. It is far too specialised and needs its own lenses. 35mm digital seems to be the new medium format for quality and resolution. It would make more sense to have camera which is at least partially compatible with existing lenses.

Even then I wouldn't rush to get one. I'm very happy with a 1.5 crop.

Still a shame to see the 645 go though.

If Pentax bring out a camera with a 24x36 sensor, they'll also need a new range of lenses, as the DAs won't work.

Personally, I think it is more likely that they will resuscitate the 645 than that they will go 24x36. The difference between 35mm and APS just isn't worth the hassle.

Perhaps... Digital medium format cameras are in quite a different league even to the EOS1DMKIII.

There is some suggestion that some of the DA* lenses will cover a 35mm frame.

BTW was the 645D actually going to be 6x45 or a 1.5x crop of 645?

The performance of the DA14mm is quite poor compared to the 12-24 and I'm hoping the 15 Ltd will be a big improvement.

I know of a shop in Skipton which stocks about 100 packs of eneloops at any one time. Unfortunately they don't seem to have a website

Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries are what you should look for. I use them in my flash and they are reportedly the best batteries to use with a K100D/DS. Battery life is much better than with any other cells and they hold charge for absolutely ages (95% for 12 months, 90% for 2 years).

The rear teleconverter shot is much better than the ones made with the front teleconverter...
