Excellent image of a fascinating statue. K.

Those weird handlebars would make the handling... err... interesting. Interesting looking beastie...

No 1 for me too. K.

Lightroom is excellent at both image organisation/cataloging and image editing. I thought it would be all difficult and complicated but I found it very intuitive and powerful. I download off my SD card, edit, tag, georeference and export in Lightroom. Only for the occasional cloning task, or for work where I am doing complex selections and edits do I drop into Photoshop. Even then, I fire up PS from within Lightroom, and once I am finished get automatically updated images in Lightroom. It is the dog's dangly bits.

Check out Harrow Technical in the UK or Eric Hendrickson in the US.

"Sticky mirror syndrome" is a weak point in the LX, but only because they are up to 35 years old now. I have got to the stage that I factor a CLA into the cost of buying an older film camera. Harrow Technical do sell refurbished cameras including LXes.

I've only had the K10D (which Andrew now has), a K20D and a K-3. I really liked the K10, the K20 never seemed sharp to me, and the K-3 has been a revelation. The K20D wasn't usable over ISO400 whereas I regularly use the K-3 at 1600, and on occasions at 3200. The K-3 has resulted in my hardly finishing a roll of film for months now... which is quite a change for me. When I went around the world a couple of years back my LX/MX did most of the work, and the K20D often got left in the hotel!

If you aren't after high ISO performance, the K10 is lovely. If you want to shoot cats in a coal-cellar, one of the newer models would be a better bet.

Hi all,

I have a set of AICO extension tubes which I have had for many years and have been used on my original MX, the K10D, the K20D... They don't have A-type contacts but do have the actuation lever so that setting the "allow use of aperture ring" setting works fine. I've often used them with lenses like my M100/2.8.

I've just been trying them with my K-3 and my K85/1.8. The aperture doesn't shut down when I take the shot. Yes, allow use of aperture ring is set to yes. Any clues as to the problem?

Thanks, Kris.
