Hi Jim,

Sorry to here about the incident. I have been very lucky but some of my students have had similar and worse situations.

As part of my courses we refer to the wording of the BFP Blue card.

There is no law in the United Kingdom preventing a photographer – whether amateur or professional – from taking photographs in a public place. Nor do individuals have a legal right to stop a photographer from photographing them. Thus a photographer is perfectly free to shoot street scenes, landscapes, buildings, people, etc without breaking any law and with perfect freedom to do so.

A good source of the latest guidance can be found at link

Bet you wished you had more than a camera to shoot with.

Glad to be of service

This really is a great supportive community, a friend of mine is a sony user and he tried to find one aswell after i told him about this site, likewise he found nothing.

Good to see another convert, i was in the shop paying a deposit on my k-5 and the guy who served me said he has just sold his canon kit and bought the k-5 himself, things are looking up
Looking forward to seeing some K-% shots

"All right... all right... but apart from better communication and advice and education and articles and friendship and deals and a forum system and information and support... what has the Pentax User site done for us"? (Sorry quick Python moment there)

Well, for me apart from the above. Through a great purchase from the classifieds (K-M, thanks Ian). The site has brought me and my partner closer together. Aaaarrrhhh

After seeing my use of the site she tried to find one for Nikon, only to find she was not getting the same friendly supportive community. So she now has moved to Pentax, expect to see her on the forums soon.

I’ll probably still get a slap when I ask if I can use her body.

So what is the best thing thats happened to you because of the site?

I'm same as Simon, My 17-70 is my main gun! Hardly ever off the camera. I just love it's versatility.

Unfortunately after taking shots over the winter in slippy conditions, I managed to slip and drop it from a great height this week.... in the dry. Think I have just knocked a lens retainer out.

So I can say the build quality is excellent!
