Wow! That is HUGE. I have a 17" monster notebook that weights in at over 8kg with power brick so an 18.4" must be back breaking!

The Dell 2408/2409FPW displays have 110% Adobe RGB colour space when calibrated so are rather good for photos.

Colour spaces are complicated things. Most printing firms, even professional photo printers work in sRGB only. There is very little flexibility when it comes down to it.

Adobe RGB has a wider colour range, problem is it is wider than almost any monitor. Most monitors will not even display the full sRGB colour space.

A calibrated and profiled display with profiled software will show that sRGB images reach saturation much faster as overall there are less tonal intervals. This is why AdobeRGB and ProPhotoRGB images look 'pale' or washed out. Most monitors have to simulate more colours by making everything lighter (because they are limited to less than sRGB).

The biggest problem here is if you do get an ARGB of PPRGB image printed as sRGB it will look washed out. They will only look right when everything matches the colour profile.

I shoot RAW and develop images in sRGB and export in sRGB as I am yet to find a printer that will support a larger gamut and my monitor definitely does not do ARGB and PPRGB any justice either.

There used to be three shops in Leeds, now just one.

Yeah, but film processing is expensive, time consuming or both.

I've mostly given up on my Super A.

Actually, I still want a 645D! A decently priced digital MF camera would be fantastic.

Like the point but it could have been done a lot more subtly. I prefer it to the brick in the face approach chosen there.

There is me and my fiancée, I only added my vote as she is not registered on here.

I don't see any reason why they should not. The Metz 58AF-1 also has a TTL mode so it should work with anything back to 'A' series cameras/lenses. I use mine on my K10D and Super A.

What is the problem you are having, do you have any example shots?

K30D list:

SAFOX IX AF with centre F1.2 sensitive sensor F2.8 for the rest. This should include a more sensitive AF module and better focusing algorithms to improve speed and accuracy. 3D tracking would be nice but you would need a lot more focus points.

Improved 14MP CMOS sensor from Samsung or a 16MP version, for marketing reasons, a step over CaNik.

Multi exposure mode which works with and at the same speed as continuous shooting.

Shooting mode lever.

Same body as K10/20D for compatibility with accessories.

640x480 screen (Like D90/D300, etc). My phone has one, why can't my camera!

EM shielded components (Cheap and easy to do, current Pentax cameras have NONE!).

I would say a better viewfinder such as 100% but, this is not possible with SR as the sensor will move outside the viewfinder area (it already does) and the alignment would be worse!
