I was in Sutton Hoo a couple of weeks ago and noticed a few Pentax DSLR users. Was somewhat surprised.

If they had that bag in Black I'd get it. Good idea with the hydration pack in the laptop compartment.

Woah, that was a mess. I've been using PSE9's autopano function which seems to work very well. Did a 50MP stitch of a National Trust garden as a test.

It seems to fail when you try a 120MP stitch though...

WOW! I want one of those!

Even though it would probably not survive a fall in a river like my current backpack. Sadly that is a real issue on our trips to Scotland, people do fall in on river crossings. Luckily it has not been me yet.

Nor does it have space for a hydration pack and a hole for the tube. Damn!



But it looks comfortable.

Also, being white that will collect dirt so fast! (also looks quite effeminate...)

I wish Pentax had a DA*11-16 based on the Tokina design.

It is a ridiculously sharp lens throughout.

Seeing as it doesn't exist I'd go for the 15mm for size/weight. I don't want any more 77mm filter lenses weighing over 700g!

I was considering modifying a Berghause backpack and using the waterproof compartment from my Lowepro rover on the bottom. I found a pack suitable for the modification but I'm not sure I'd want to risk it as the lowepro was over £100 and the Berghause is £80!

I have not been able to use my camera backpack since I purchased a hiking backpack with a rigid airflow mesh like the diagram below:

The reason I bought the LowePro Rover was that it has a completely sealed compartment for the camera equipment but it is hot, heavy and uncomfortable. I tend to just stick the K10D with a DA* lens round my neck and not worry about anything extra.

Same software as used for the Obama panorama of his inauguration.
