As I have said in other threads, if it helps them sell more cameras then why not? It cannot have cost very much to produce that butt-ugly monstrosity, it was just a bit of a disappointment to those of us interested in taking photos rather than fashion accessories. I am not wedded to black, though, but white is a bit too much! I did like the storm trooper photo I wish the Pentax remote control was bright fluorescent yellow though, I am always losing that thing!

Cheers, Kris.

Saw a black one in a shop window the other day. They are TINY! Imagine sticking Richard's A* 300mm on it, it would look very silly...

The nurse is VERY scary

Sorry, I was always the pedant.

Cheers, Kris.

Just been going through your list as there are one or two things I might be interested in but as Peter said, most of the prices are about 10%-20% too high compared to sales prices I have in my database. The M-series 85mm, for example, rarely sells for more than £100, the AF280T rarely more than £25. I got my A-series 50mm F1.4 for £60 and that was a fair price for an excellent lens, not especially a bargain. The A-series 24mm would probably reach that price (digital sensors with the crop have pushed up the prices of ultra-wides I guess) and one or two other items are in the right ball park. The prices are essentially what a dealer would sell the kit on for, not what they might fetch on fleabay.

Hope this helps and good luck with the sale.

Kris.

PS why did you change brands?

Fascinating stuff. Thank you very much for sharing the story.

What you cannot so easily do (in 1.4.1 anyway) is move this hierarchy of directories from the C drive to the E drive, or keep a record of a batch of files burnt to CD. On the whole though, it is a pretty good bit of software.

With some images I do everything in LR, with some I do some in LR and some in CS3. I always do the dust-spotting in LR, very quick and easy. Exporting is quick and easy too, my only question was whether creating essentially the same image (e.g. a 1200px along the long edge JPG for posting) is better/worse/the same quality wise to using CS3.

This website has some useful video podcasts for free on using lightroom.

Easily it's weakest feature is moving stuff around / file management after you have imported it.

Cheers, Kris.

Try SRS?

Oh look, it comes in a tasteful red and gold. Almost as lovely as the new white K2000...
