I like the second image, can't make my mind up if it's a tribute to Archie Andrews or Marty Feldman

I would like one of the "lightweight" cameras, The K-5IIs and grip usually with 18-135mm is starting to be a bit much to lug about all day. The K-S2 with the 17-70mm is lighter but still heavier than the csc's. I think I need to go to a store which has all the brands in stock and try before buy. There is an old chap at our club who uses a Nikon bridge camera and get very good results so maybe that is another way to go. The main problem is there's so much to like about Pentax for me to change

I think the posts have slowed down a lot but the posts are still as pointless as the first post.

Go and wash your mouth out john, using such words in a Pentax forum Ha Ha Ha

Talking of insurance do people use a "dedicated" photography gear insurer or just added to the "household" insurance ?

I'm sure I have an old lens cap from an M42 lens and M42 did fit early Pentax cameras I believe

I'll check this out tomorrow Steve. I was trying to get an "upwards" shot inside the pigeon loft at Dirleton Castle and had the camera on a tripod pointing up and screen pointing up. I'm sure it's me and not the camera, brain doesn't function as well either now

Thanks for t he link but please stop trying to tempt me. This is one of those things on my bucket list. Just wondering though, to qualify as a Pentax image will the old lens cap have to be from a Pentax camera

Watched a presentation of pinhole photography by Steve Gosling. Some enjoyable images and I almost bought a pinhole kit to try out. IIRC the hole of the camera he was using was something in the range of f/137
