Not much colourful this time of year. Beech leaves do not fall until the new leaves bud in spring and are therefore some of the few left on the trees! I'll keep looking for a nicer example
Thanks, Kris.

I can see what you mean. I would have preferred to have had the whole thing in focus but my little travelling tripod was too short and I couldn't use a small enough f/stop and handhold it. I like the waterdrops and colours though.The only one i'm not keen on is the third leaf, too many points of focus in the shot, creative images using selective DOF are OK but I think they need ONE point of focus, this one has three.
Thanks for the comments all, always helpful.
Cheers, Kris.

If that is all that needs doing, then yes, go for it. The advantage of Harrow Technical and the like is everything else they do. My LX had "the sticky mirror problem" only it turned out not to be the usual problem, but something electronic. Harrow fixed it for the same price as the standard service, and did it very quickly. I hope they are still in business! I have a small stack of cameras that need servicing...
Cheers, Kris.

The noise at high ISOs is slowly getting better and better. I have read that the noise on the K20 at high ISOs is much better than my K10 but as always, the lower you can keep the ISO the better. Mannesty said this is a stunning lens, and I have seen no reason to disagree!
The alternative to hefty's ebay suggestion, as we have already discussed, is a commission sale with someone like SRS.
I look forward to seeing it in the flesh one day!
Best wishes, Kris.

Click the image button, not the link button and post your flickr address between the image tags.

Even the new DA* 300mm is "only" F4 although with 3200 ASA available on the K20D I guess that one stop of speed is less critical than it used to be.
Best wishes, Kris.

The best solution is to go to a shop and try it out.
