Right... Goes off to pice up a reverse ring and a stepping ring...
Oh, anyone know if the weight of an A50f1.7 on the front of a DA50-200f4-5.6 will damage the lens, AF system or misalign anything?

it appears the k10 has some (albeit very limmited) web access.
on my mac, setting Image Capture to share my devices, will allow my bonjour network to recognize the K10 (teathered usb).
This means I can download from the card from any computer on my network or from the web.
While I haven't suceeded in firing the shutter remotely this way, I can download the images off the card and erase images from the card.
I'm not sure if there's any practical applications for this on my mac, as I can use automator, and other mac-centric tricks to remote access the camera, but maybe windoze users could use it somehow....one possibility being leaving your teathered k10 set to intervlalometer and being able to download images from the card over the net to say use as a security cam or watch a bird feeder or something...
Interesting. I hope it is not Vista only like the RAW codec, it would be handy to view my images in Explorer when I'm moving files about.it appears the k10 has some (albeit very limmited) web access.

I can't see many people wanting to leave an expensive camera and computer in a remote tethered mode.

It is silver/black, not the all black.
PS. I must say a lot of people are on late tonight.

Define reasonably priced, to some people £700 on a FA31F1.8 is nothing where as for others £160 for a FA50F1.4 is the earth.
Just using them as examples.

Maybe halfway between the two pics would be best ?
For me, a lot of the detail has been lost in the petal above the bee
on this second photo.
It does 'jump out of the screen' at you though!
That is likely to be your screen. The details is lost on mine as well, but if you were to print it the wider gamut of inks (who'd use inkjet for a good photo like that?) or photo paper then you'll get the detail back.Maybe halfway between the two pics would be best ?

I've got a photo of a foxglove that my girlfriend took, purple area shows very little details on screen (not clipped in histogram though) had it printed and looks absolutely fantastic.

Perfect that time, the last one looked desaturated.

I don't know if it is worth getting though, because I'll eventually get the DA*55 (although it may take a very long time to appear).
Either way it eats into my other DA* lenses fund.

So two left... I want one

The best super zoom available at the moment is the 18-250 Tamron which is said to perform better than any 18-200 available. It is more expensive though at £400 and because it is internal focusing you get change in focal length with close subjects.

Continuous shooting is fine (2GB Extreme III cards) and it will keep up with the shutter speed chosen.
Why does it seem to slow down a lot for multi-exposures when surely it should take the 2-9 exposures, store them in the buffer and then work on them when you have finished, not before.
