I'd buy the time to travel and use the kit I have. One or two additions though, a better tripod, a 43mm Ltd, a FA-1W viewfinder for my LX, some more lenses for my Horseman. All would come to considerably less than the Nikon or the Leicas.

I must admit the 110-style SLR would be quite fun. Compact sensor sizes would get over the dire quality of 110 film although the preview screen might be a bit small!

Cheers, Kris.

Very true. Sometimes quick searches turn up trumps on the net, sometimes it can take a bit of digging. I wonder if there is some way of setting up a FAQ type thing for the site? There are various recurrent questions. for example: manual lenses, back/front focusing, best AA rechargeable batteries all come to mind. What do people think?

Best wishes, Kris.

That is a really effective photo, I like it! Is s/he really that ginger or is that partly the white balance?

Cheers, Kris.

I rather like this photo apart from the terrible vingetting, which oddly seems to be off centre. I have tried to sort it out in Lightroom without much success. Any suggestions as to the best way to sort it? Also, should I even bother?

Thanks, Kris.

NB: Full sized version here.

I am not certain why AAs are "more convenient". The battery in the K10/K20 lasts for an age whereas from other posts here AAs can be more problematic depending on the ones you buy.

125 quid is, however, a good deal!

Cheers, Kris.

This subject (or variants on it) is one that comes up often!

Cheers, Kris.

The world is full of acronyms these days and sometimes it drives me mad. I was reading another posting somewhere which was going on about EVFs and OVFs. Eventually it dawned on me: electronic v. optical viewfinders. This was not helped by the fact that "viewfinder" is a single word reduced to two letters in order to ensure the Holy Grail of a TLA. (AKA: three letter acronym).

UGH.

Oh, we are talking Digital camera? Right? The lens itself at anything under 24mm vignettes like crazy. Worse with any filter.

Mac... do you mean like this?

No polarizer on this one

Cheers, Kris.

To be fair one should also read the "storm in a teacup" reply to that.
