Thanks for the feedback Robert. There is an art gallery in Newcastle so perhaps I will call in with a photo on the off chance. Either that or wait until the "Antiques Road Show" is in the area. By this time next year I'll be a millionaire. Joking aside, I think my brother in law thought I would like this painting because of the abstract connection to the sea, I spent the best part of my working life there. It does look good on the wall anyway.

Nothing on the back unfortunately. The person who gave us the painting (brother/brother in law) died before we got the chance to ask him if he knew any of the history of this.

Thanks to all who responded. I'll do what John suggested and see if there are and forums where I could ask.

We were given a painting several years ago and are trying to find out anything about it eg the title and did the artist paint anything else. Have tried google but probably looking in the wrong place. Any help greatfully received. As far as I can see the artist is A maley

Fantastic set of images. I really like #11 but they are all so good each time I look I have a new favourite

Hi Joe, I only had the old style Pentax 55-300mm non WR. If I was replacing it I would get the WR version but usually have a good idea of where I'm going to and probable weather I factor that in to what I am taking regarding gear so could just get by with the 18-135mm or the 16-50mm both WR. A lot depends on where the coach or car will be parked so can make the final decision once on location. A decent brolly doesn't add much weight either

Having re-read the old thread (it wasn't me earlier by the way) I was wondering what the outcome was. Did you go for the 18-250? It seems the thread died a death before a conclusion was reached.
I got the 18-270mm at a good price and have been pleased with it. I find using a tripod is best especially at the mid to upper range where f/11 seems ok. It does cut down the weight I'm lugging about so can have days out and only one lens covers my needs. I have some images in my portfolio taken with this lens. Anyone wishing to lighten their camera bag would like this.

Very interesting article, thanks for the link.
That's exactly a great number of us will feel John. If never buy anything else I have sufficient to keep me going.

I always felt they were a bit late coming to the Full Frame market

I usually wipe everything (Firefox browser) with CCleaner but will have a poke around in the "unseen" folders and see what is there.
