The Chinese dealers are quite accomodating where that sort of thing is concerned

They are. But remember that you are legally classed a the importer of the goods, therefore it is up to you to make sure the correct duty is paid! You might get away with it but are potentially committing tax fraud.

So posting the evidence on the web for all to see is not a good idea...?

Too many crops to comment on now! Of your originals I like the first closer crop apart from the fact that you have chopped part of her chin off. Gartmore's looks excellent too.

Best wishes, Kris.

I have never really looked into HDR myself, but isn't there more to the "colouration" than HDR?

HDR can be used in a wide variety of situations from simply trying to cope with a scene with a high dynamic range and producing an image which is "realistic" to extreme whacky colourations and effects. Like many digital photo filters/effects/tricks (e.g. the whackier filters in Photoshop) people tend to love 'em or hate 'em. In this case, I think the person has just used some of the more extreme settings in HDR to produce those images.

Yup, definitely HDR. See Ferrell McCollough, "Complete Guide to High Dynamic Range Digital Photography", Lark.

I assume they don't provide it on the basis that they do not expect the USM drive to die. My guess is that in time all the lenses will be USM and the screw drive will be phased out.

When I first got the lens it used the screw drive as I had the older firmware installed on the K10D. I need to get it fixed, anyway.

I bought the lens from 17th Street Photo in New York, not SRS.
